September has been filled with all sorts of
excitement.
The month started off with vacation. It was mostly a stay-cation for me, but extra
special because my friend Sharon, who lives in Canada, came to visit for a
week. We went to a scrapbooking crop, shopped a lot, got manicures and just had
a relaxing and fun time.
Then, on September 10 my sister in Texas gave
birth to Madelynn Joy. Madelynn is my
parents’ first grandchild. She is absolutely beautiful!
That same evening, the hubby and I added our own
bundle of joy to our family. Spike got a
little sister named Luna. One year old
and full of energy, we found this Boston terrier beauty through a Facebook
group that hubby and I belong to. Luna and
Spike are still adjusting to one another, but overall they have been getting
along well.
On Saturday, Spike and Luna had a playdate with
their furcousins Murphy and Bennie. We
found out that Luna can run like crazy and that she loves rawhide type treats. Sunday was spent mostly sleeping – especially Spike. Poor guy doesn’t bounce back from playdates
as well as he once did.
Both of my furry babies have a vet appointment on
Friday. Hopefully they will get clean
bills of health. Since we have a new
baby in the house, I have been doing some research on dogs. I’m also trying to slowly change their food
from an all-kibble diet to a healthier, fresher food diet (2/3 cooked food, 1/3
kibble). Any recommendations for recipes
are welcome! I now know that Luna enjoys
cottage cheese, but isn’t fond of carrots.
Spike will eat cottage cheese, but he really LOVES semi-cooked carrots.
Keep an eye out for photos to be posted later this
week!
In not so fun excitement, this weekend was spent
dealing with plumbing issues – again – in our house. This time it was the kitchen/laundry room
(they share a common main pipe). This is
far from the first time we’ve encountered issues. Looks like I can’t use the garbage disposal
without issues arising. Bah.
Humbug. Thankfully the hubby and
his dad were able to get it fixed.

Aww, congratulations on all the new additions to your family- two and four legged ones alike! Sorry I missed Sharon when she was here. I would have liked to meet her in person.
