Minne Monday

Minne is sad that Purdue didn't make it to the Sweet Sixteen nor the elite 8 (again).

However, she's stoaked to be a dog and to have a mom that provides her with a basketball team that she can watch into April. Go Dawgs.

PS anyone know where I can get Butler fabric for a dawgs kind of blanket? I'm getting desperate. May have to do one side all navy and the other side with a bulldawg fabric?

Minne Monday Part 2

After I ran away, I was punished by some sort of allergic reaction. Not sure what did it, maybe my medicine or perhaps the bug I was playing with in my mouth bit me? Not really sure. But I do know one thing, I was super glad I was at home and not wondering the streets. Without mom and dad I am not sure what I would have done.

As you can see, my entire face started swelling. I started wheezing and mom and dad took me to the animal hospital. Once we got there, they gave me shots and I had to sit there to make sure the swelling went down. They say most dogs react within 30 minutes, it took me almost 2 hours. We had to wait in the lobby, I was miserable, I didn't even want to get up to beg for a treat or smell the other smells.

Mom and dad sat with me all night. And the best part? I got to sleep in the bed again (after the previous night fiasco, I was punished to sleeping in my own bed). #winning

Last week was a bad week for me... it started like this

Minne Monday

Buddy came to visit. The two pups had the best day ever, chewing on each other and rolling around in the mud. Puppy Buddy only had one accident in the house and he didn't eat anything he wasn't supposed to. All and all, it seemed like a pretty rad doggy weekend.

Husband stayed home to baby sit (and get quality time with his little nephew). I think this was his favorite part...

Sleeping puppies

Chillin with the dogs...

Pups in between hubs' legs.

It's my bed, I might as well use a pillow right?

Minne Monday

There's not enough blankets in the world to warm me up after Blizzardmania.

Recap:

Minne Monday

Recovering from the best Birthday weekend ever. A trip to Two Bostons, new toys, Bowser Beer and a salmon treat. 

Not to mention, clean new sheets on the bed, I love that. Thanks mom and dad.

Love Minne

I missed you!

It's true I really did miss you. In fact, I think I missed you as much as Minne missed me her weekly Minne Monday shout out. So much to tell you but for now, I'll leave you with this.

Minne Monday

Hey look guys, I'm ready to go to the Blackhawks game for dad's surprise 30th Birthday. Wait it's Monday at 8:45 and you haven't woken up yet. What's going on here?

Oh wait, you already went?  partied so hard and now are sleeping all day? And I wasn't invited? What happened to it being my Birthday month?

Minne Monday: I surrender

"I used to fight getting my nails cut, but I've learned I get a treat afterwards. Therefore, I surrender." Minne

PS my new years resolutions because I heard every one is doing it.

1. Stop being scared of the large window in my new house
2. Stop licking my paws (hopefully my allergy shots will help with this)
3. Learn to take my pills so my dad doesn't have to choke me

Minne Monday

When we first moved into our house, our Boston was a wreck. High anxiety, hives, shaky legs, fast heart rate, ect. After being in the house for a few days Minne made her self at home in every room of the house except the kitchen. It was and to this day is the scariest room in the house for her. We couldn't figure out why since the kitchen is where her toy box is, it's how she gets let out to go potty and to play outside, it's where she gets dinner and it's where we give her treats. Sounds like dog heaven to us but we're people so what do we know?

After being in the house for about 3 weeks, we decided that she was terrified of the sliding glass door in the kitchen. We're still not entirely sure why but we've narrowed it down to the door itself because it slides or it could be all the shadows and reflections the big glass door makes (we're thinking that's it). We still don't have curtains up and Minne is still terrified of the room. But the other morning I walked into the kitchen to find Minne laying in front of the window. Perhaps she was sun bathing? Either way there she was calm, collected, not shaky and looking the glass door right in the eye like they were bffs.

2 hours later, Minne was terrified again. I'm not sure if she does this every day or if this was a weird one time occurrence. I'm not sure if I'll ever know, but I am happy that for at least 10 minutes of on Saturday morning, Minne made peace with the sliding glass door.

Happy Minne Monday. I should note that the last 2 weekends have been spent moving and unpacking. We've also had the in-laws up back to back weekends. First to help us move in last weeks blizzard and this past weekend to celebrate Landon's mom's birthday. Between work, moving and being sick, it's been nice to have the family around so that Minne has had lots of times with cousin Buddy, or as we've been calling him, cousin Eddie (think Christmas Vacation), to keep her occupied and not so stressed with the move.

We've nick-named him cousin Eddie because of a few things. The first weekend he came up, he was outside playing and tried to run inside and ran right in through our screen. Following that there was a poop on the stairs issue (think "shitters full") and there was some clothing items that cousin Eddie pulled out of the boxes and ate. He physically ate holes in 2 of my shirts and we later on found a shirt of Landons.

Despite Buddy's behavior issues, we still love him. He's really is a great dog and we need to take steps back and remind ourselves that he is still just a puppy and he was in a new environment and well puppy things happen. Just like cousin Eddie, there's so many things to love about cousin Buddy. Minne especially loves the times when she has a cuddle bug to sleep with.

More cuddle time:

As much as Minne enjoys and loves her cousin, she also likes when the family leaves (I think we all can relate). After Buddy leaves, Minne usually finds herself doing a lot of this:

Since we've moved, Minne's struggled finding things that smell or feel like our previous home. It's a comfort issues for sure. This comforter was from our old place and old bed. It got half way down the stairs as we were trying to get it to the washing machine when Minne claimed her territory. With everything else in our house being so new (since we have finally opened our wedding presents) we figured we might as well let Minne have this blanket for a few more days, just until she starts to feel settled.

More on Minne in the new house later.

We are just about done packing,

except for every box that Minne unpacks...

 

...we have to repack.

Hope your Minne Monday is more productive than ours.  

Minne Monday

Many things are going on right now, between the frustrations and aggravations of buying a house (yes this house saga is still going on), work, my best friend moving to Germany and well every day life itself...life is a tad bit insane. Oh and did I mention the holiday celebrating starts this week? It's been harder and harder to blog but I am always thankful for Mondays because Mondays I don't feel like I need to write much. In fact, I feel like I can post a picture of my little Boston and know that life is good because at the end of the day, I get to go home and cuddle up with her.

The little cuddle monster herself and her raggedy little stuffed animal that has been completely destroyed (minus its last leg as seen here).

It is Minne Monday, but I thought I'd give our little ham a break from all the camera flashes and share this blog with you. It's all about Boston Terriers, not sure why I didn't find it on my own but I am very thankful for my good pal Jessica, who always has my back! Thanks girlie!

Minne Monday

In the morning, the hubs usually gets up first and takes Minne out to potty. Afterwards, Minne usually jumps into bed with me to snuggle for just a few more minutes. This morning however, the hubs and I got up for an early morning run. Minne waited in bed to see if I was coming back, but not this morning. How pathetic is she?

Hope you all had a better start to your Monday then this little girl!

Ok Ok I know I said I hate Halloween but I couldn't resist these at $0.50 at Old Navy... Our little Devil

Happy Minne Monday. The hubs and I are still unpacking from our trip to Philly and NY while trying to pack for our move. Photos coming soon.

Minne Monday

With all the trips back and forth from Chi-Indy, Minne and her cousin Buddy have had the chance of spending lots of time together.
