Honey, Scruffy, and Snorelots.....

You caught a brief glimpse of one of our latest fosters in my last blog, Honey but here are some cuter pictures of her.  She was like a month ago and we are both thankful she is gone cause every time I would call "Honey!"  Eric would say "What?" even though I was calling the Chihuahua.  I would do the same when he called her.  It got a little confusing some days.  She sure was cute but liked to lick a lot.

See she was such a doll and the family who got her better have kids cause she loved the Backus girls:)

While we had Honey we pet sat for our friend Nicole who owns Molly.  We love Molly and Juliet especially loves Molly cause she is non stop energy and playfulness plus a complete sweet heart.  Honey was her smaller identical sister I just never knew sisters did this to one another.  Unknown to us Honey had yet to be spayed so really really really took a liking to Molly.

Pictured here is Molly tolerating a mini version of herself humping her neck feverishly. 

This is what happens when you see Molly bring out a small pillow we have given to the dogs and don't take it from her immediately after seeing it.

She tried to implicate Juliet but I knew better! Sneaky little Molly. 

 After Honey we got Scruffy.

He was adorable and got adopted in one weekend.  I was a little irritated as the HS staff renamed him Lionheart which I think is cheesy and bad since he came very well to Scruffy.  He had a broken leg for like two seconds.  After him and his nonsense I stated no more puppies until this baby comes out and is bigger.

So I tell this to the HS woman today and that we need a short term foster for once since we are leaving for vacation in two weeks.  What does she give us? A hyper 40lb 6mth old puppy with the horrible name of .... Snorelots. Ugh who names a dog this?  Oh the people that get their dog taken away due to cruelty.  I don't know these people but I don't like them.  Nameless, as I refuse to use the other one until we figure out a new one, is a sweetie but hates the camera.  See, she is avoiding me here.

 And here. 

 Finally caught her off guard here while she tried to get on the couch.  Her huge chops are freakin cute!

 After finally taking her meds she was done.  You see that gash on her leg all sewed up.  That is the reason she no longer has a home and why she is currently with us.  Her old owners did that to her and now we get to make it all better for her to get adopted. 

 Crashed out! Meds have taken affect and she is adorable isn't she.  Know someone who loves Sharpei mixes?  Let me know as she would be a wonderful dog.  Also, if you think of a good name let me know.  She is a bit rude when introducing herself to other dogs and whines like a big baby while kenneled. 

Life Hit... Hard

When shit hits the fan and all of the sudden your hopefully calm and peaceful 2010 spins in four different directions at once you forget to update your blog... rather I forgot to update MY blog.  I has been a joyful and rough couple of months and I will sum it up with a short synapsis.  Also, if anyone knows why safari won't let me run certain pages please do give me some tips on fixing it.  I am currently running firefox to see this page. 

My last blog ended with MIL visiting.  Was a good visit over St. Patty's day and she made me curtains.  See.

She completed more but I don't have the patience to figure out how to make the pictures work.  Sorry.


My friend, her little boy, and her mom came to visit next.  This is the friend that introduced Eric and I so she loves and knows us both and we love her and her family just as much!  We went to the mall, chilled, and for my Bday went to Old Chicago with friends and went to The Farm for breakfast.  mmm mmm good best eggs benedict around.  I may have to go this weekend as that just made me want some!

Lucas got to see and feel the joys of fostering dogs:)

The weekend before my birthday Eric and I were walking all four dogs around the park by our house.  I had just taken two pills on an empty stomach which is usually not a problem for me.  That day it made me throw up on the sidewalk keeping two interested dogs at bay.  Hmmm I thought to myself, that is strange.  Got back to the house... peed on a stick three different times (three different sticks) and found we .....

Have a bun in the oven!!

Due date 11/2/10 and just found out it's a boy!

April was quiet and my Sister came to visit again in the first part of May.  YAY!

She will love me for this but these are the only ones I have of her visit.

On May 26, 2010 a good friend and Eric's squadmate, Travis Murphy, was killed in the line of duty.  To say the least it has been heart wrenching, horrible, terrifiying and painful.  I  knew what it meant to marry a Police Officer but had not expected it to happen so close or so soon.  Him and his wife are good friends and we will miss him soo so much as he was such a character.  I love his little girl with my heart and will love his little boy just as much.  Below you will find one side of Travis although there were many :) 

Miss you Travis.

Grandpa and Sunny came to visit middle of May and just left the beginning of June.  We were so glad to see them and spend some quality time with them.  Sunny is hilarious on the Wii.  Hopefully they will be back soon and we will get to WI to visit very soon.  Thanks for the visit!  We really enjoyed it all:)

They liked the new couch:) Love you Two!
