July Already? And with it comes the heat...

I really like having 4 distinct seasons, but this 100+ degree weather I cannot stand! It started on the 4th, and should continue through tomorrow. Then we might get a whole 5 degree cool-off. Yay. I feel like a bit of a whiner, but it can be pretty intense at times, and downright miserable! The poor dogs go out mid-afternoon to go potty, and they are panting within 30 seconds! (especially Guiness, poor little guy!)

We didn't do much for the 4th. Jason made his ice cream and fried chicken, we watched a movie, and that was pretty much about it. Trying to go to bed at 10:30 didn't work. I think fireworks in our neighborhood went on until about midnight or so. But I could see part of the downtown show from our bedroom window, so I watched them for a little while.

My last post was all about how frustrating it can be to potty train a puppy. He's doing a little bit better, but he still doesn't understand that the rest of the house is his "den" too, not just his carrier. Last weekend we invested in a spot cleaner, which is working so much better than trying to scrub it out with a sponge and cleaner.


Auntie Steph said she wanted to see more pictures, so I did my best to take some more the past few days. I love the close-up!






He's pretty much taken over all of Rusty's toys, depending on which one he wants to play with at the moment. They are so funny to watch. Guiness will be playing with a toy; then we throw one to Rusty, and Guiness will go pull it out of his mouth! Then Rusty will go get the one Guiness was playing with, and it goes back and forth from there!

They get along really well, though, so we're happy about that. Guiness is starting to pick up Rusty's habit of barking at Sophie, though, so we're putting a stop to that one right away! Poor Sophie gets enough abuse as it is!

Yeah for the pictures! I want to see him before he is big. I checked flights out there yesterday and they are only $184 but I just don't know when to come due to school.

He is so cute you just want to snuggle him.
