A Father's Love...

I am so lucky to have In-laws that love me and treat me just as if I was one of the family! I have always felt at home with them, probably because they act just like my folks! The first time mine and Josh's family met, we knew it was love at first sight! When I say that I am talking about my dad and Josh's dad, Tibby. Those of you who know my dad, know that he is the craziest, laid back, loving man EVER!! He loves to dance and sing and just say the silliest things, literally! So when he met Tibby I know for sure he met his match! These two grown men crack me up!! They say some of the most obseen things to one another (our families are used to this by now), and carry on for hours! They are a hoot at family gatherings, holidays and most current, our family vacation to San Antonio. I am not sure you understand their love. So let me just show you! And by the way, they are sober...Honestly!

Really!!!! I thought we were past the puppy stage!!

Isn't the little white dog with the red bow in her hair just the cutest thing you have ever seen.....well thank goodness she is or I wouldn't resist popping her a few times for her immature-ness this morning!!!

Well I have to give her a tad bit of credit (not much though) she has been on allergy medicine for a week now and on the label it says...increased urination! Are you getting a picture now as to why I want to beat my 3 year old West Highland White Terrier??!! Yes she wet the bed! Not one, two, but three times (in all different spots) on our brand new adorable royal blue, paisley bedspread!!! Awww you are probably feeling sympathetic for her because of her medicine??? Here is why you should not: 1.she has been on the meds for a week and has only had one accident she was asleep and did it mid nap)I let it slide, 2. For the last 5 days she has had two doses instead of one like she did last night, 3. I even took her outside at 1:15 AM!!

So when Josh wakes up at 6am, he says oh s#$t Ellie pissed on me!!!! LOL I have to laugh a little, because he was in such disgust. There were two pee piles right by his elbow!!!! He was livid...Ellie went outside and we had to clear off our bed, take our comforter to the cleaners and try to clean the wet spots that leaked through to the mattress pad!!! OMG what a way to start your morning!

But the story gets just a little bit better...Josh is in the living room and he yells out to me, who finally settles back to some sort of sleep in the unmade bed..."She pissed all over the living room floor" She had a pee path!! Luckily we have hard wood floors, but still!! WOW! My dog who never (honestly never) gets into trouble was,(OOPS I mean IS)in BIG trouble today!

On a better note: I am going to New Braunsfels and San Antonio this weekend! Maybe I will actually take pictures for you to see when I get back!

We were playing around in the kitchen (or shall we say I was) and I decided to doll up my little tom-boy. She hates it when I do this to her and I just think it is so cute! Dogs are really not my style, so the fact that I love her more than life itself it bizarre! I think red is her color! Enjoy! Happy 4th of July!!
