Life with a puppy....

Is tiring.. Oh how 5 years makes a difference. What a difference life with 2 dogs make! I think we need to splurge on dog training.. I'm afraid Wrangler is not getting the attention he needs and is going to start some horrible behaviors.. and Rocky.. well he needs some manners! I feel so lost on puppy training! I can't train with him because Wrangler has to be RIGHT there.. and Rocky wants to eat my hand off with the treats in it.. Oi VEY! Of course Rocky wants to eat everything in sight lol. He has it out for my Old Navy Flip flops. So they are now away hahah. Anything Wrangler has Rocky wants and vice versa. Yeah... thats the most annoying.

Me and Danny are tired lol even tho he's sleeping thru the night.. wake up time is 545 am. The cats are adjusting well.. lol Bean likes him just she does Wrangler so that makes me happy! Doc and Volt still aren't sure haha. I swear Baby and toddler all mixed in one hahah just running around with him keeping him outta stuff is enough to drive you bonkers! I'll leave you with some pictures! I'll have a garden update soon :)

 Wrangler and Rocky when we first brought him home.. See all their toys? Spoiled :P

 Danny and Rocky.. He is a pretty mellow puppy.. well was LOL

 <3

 Wrangler warming up to him :)

 Finally getting along and playing like champs!

 Lazy puppy! ( I got a new camera Its awesome with color selection!)

Oh yeah.. Can you see the Holy Terror look in his eyes ;)

Lord have mercy.

If you wanna know what life will be like with and infant and toddler at the same time? Get a puppy!  Whole new meaning of do it while they sleep and no sleep at the same time and running your butt off trying to keep them outta everything!

We brought Rocky home last night.. Wrangler isn't very sure what to think and wants every toy that Rocky picks up! He needs to learn to share! So.. first night was horrible lol I'm going what was I thinking!? Crate training is awful and horrible at the same time.. We put him in his kennel and it was awesome.. he fell right to sleep. Should have went to bed then.. That was around 10 pm, 1130 he was awake and whining.. so out to the potty we went.. Good lord the whining when we got back in!  Apparently he didn't like the blankets.. he kept coming out to Wrangler's doggy pillow! In comes Bailey's old pillow.. take out divider and put that in.. He slept from 230 to 530 WOOT! Then potty and back to sleep with minimal whining till 645 :) when he promptly got up!

 Danny let me sleep in while he got ready for his interview this morning for the Feds.. I'm so nervous! The beast is sleeping right now lol!  My house is a disaster no matter how much we got rid of and moved ugh. I swept while he started taking his nap. Horrible. Now i'm just getting caught up with TV shows and my internet stuff :)

Wrangler will not eat his food.. the puppy food is more appetizing apparently. Sorry dude you're loosing weight with Mommy and Daddy.. which is going horribly by  the way! OK before all my free time Disappears!

PS: Pictures soon!

Sorry!

My bad! I should have updated sooner!

Appt Last Monday for our IVF consult went well :) She would like me to loose at least 20lbs.. so We started that.. Its a slow process.. :( But hopefully I will get a kick start and loose it! So it looks like IVF in August or September!! We have to start getting everything in place for financing and time off etc. But we are so excited that it may finally be OUR turn! So it looks like if all goes well ( come one I have the perfect bun oven!).. We will have a May or June baby :)

All things on the puppy front are right on track. My mom thinks i'm crazy for getting another one. The way I see it.. Its my life i'm tired of waiting for approval for things. So.. we're doing it! We need something to keep us occupied and our mind off things! Plus I'm sure Wrangler would love a buddy ;) He adores it when Bailey comes over! So today I'm stalking the UPS man waiting for new toys, bowls and a kitty scratching post to be delivered! Its on its way.. So HURRY UP! Cause then we wanna go to Petsmart to get a few things.. IE a Kennel and leashes, and a few toys for Wrangler cause he needs to be spoiled too!

Danny has his Federal interview on Monday.. I'm so nervous and i'm sure he is too. I Hope all goes well I'll be a mess waiting for him to come home! It will be SO good for us if this happened right now.. Like beyond awesome.

 My house is tiny we have been rearranging and moving things around like crazy, and getting rid of things. How are we going to fit a Baby, 2 adults, 3 cats and 2 dogs.. in our little house!? If we have twins.. we HAVE to get another house lol! I won't complain there.. its the looking at houses that suck! I would like to find a more permante house with an actual landscaped yard, room for gardening, trees, 4 bedroom 2 bath house. Also.. no major fixing like this house needs.. Ugh.

Anyways.. Back to stalk the UPS man :)
