Lovely Spring Day

It was a great day and I did my best to get the dog and kid out and enjoy it.

Here is the beginnings of my (dirt) garden.

Mugen has been enjoying the yard as well ....

As well as me discovering his love for my garden gnome. Poor gnome has no hand. Mugen finds the yard gnome tasty. As long as he doesn't like lettuce or onions right now I am safe.

Spring Break!

It is time for Spring Break in the house. We are off of work and I am going to be getting things ready for the garden and the back yard. First I will make sure to get a small fence for our garden since "someone" has already decided that walking in it is nice on the toes. Then I will be looking at stone to make a patio and walkway in the yard, for "someone's" paths. We want it anyway but now we see how Mr Mugen likes his daily paths to check on the neighbors and the cars driving by. Oh well a busy week.

Me and Mugen ( a comedy)

We were taking goofy pictures a couple of weeks ago and I just got to looking at it last night. I guess that we do become more like our dogs.

Garden is planted (kind of)

I planted lettuce seed in our square foot garden and I though that Mugen would have no interest in it until I looked last night and saw, paw prints in the dirt. I will be getting a small fence this weekend. Also I am hoping next week to add broccoli or peas to the mix. I will garden my own produce this year!

On the puppy front Cameron and I havs decided that if we get a girl we want to name her Prudence. It's from the Beatles song "Dear Prudence". We haven't decided about a boy yet, and the husband hasn't totally given in yet either.

I am sick with puppy fever

I wil admit that I am a bit too excited about Mugen's mom Star expecting a litter later in the month. I am already making a mental list with possible puppy names with my son having veto power. My husband isn't too happy with my train of though currently either. But I look at Mugen lately and I can tell that he needs another dog buddy. At night we can play with him and take him out and he still will give me the look of, but I'm BORED!
I have been asking around to make sure I am just not adding just to add another dog into the household. Mugen's current trainer agreed with adding a dog, I have even been asking opinions from friends and family. I think the only resistance is my husband. Oh well how could he say no to a little fluffy puppy?

Let the crazy begin!

Here we are at the cusp of spring. Finally we are working on the dirt piles from our fence that was put in at the end of October. I have gotten Lettuce seed and we will be putting in a new raised bed in the back yard this weekend if the weather is nice enough.

I think I might be prepared to actually garden this year. I normally half way try and then end up with one tomato in September. But I will be ready this year. As long as Mugen doesn't like veggies!

Happy 2nd Barkday Mugen!

February 18th is Mugen's 2nd birthday and he is so excited. At least about the popcorn my son was eating today. I still can't believe we have had our "little" puppy for 18 months. He is my constant companion and a great friend for my son. Happy Barkday!
