Let’s Get You Up to Speed

While I was gone:

  • The Dog Lodge LLC happened
  • Mom changed her last name, and mine.
  • We ditched nursing school

It’s been an interesting few months!

The Dog Lodge

What an amazing place. I’ve only been there a few times but mom brings home all kinds of smells! When I go we mostly stay in the training arenas. I’m going to be an agility competitor!

Last Name Changes

We’re Peets’ now! Mom and Dad got married in October. It was the best time! I got to dress up and be the life of the party. Everyone loved us. I’ll give you more to dig into later.

Nursing School

I’ve decided to dedicate an entire post just to that. It involves a lot of fibromyalgia and mental health so there’s a lot to talk about.

 

GUESS WHAT!!

Mom has been feeling so much better lately that we’ve been going on walks everyday plus I get to play soccer in the backyard with her after dinner! The soccer ball is my favorite ball out of all of the balls I have! We do cool tricks where mom boosts it up in the air and I volley it with my nose. Mom and dad get so excited over that. The one I like most is when mom tries to dribble it passed me but I stop her. I can read her body like a book, she doesn’t stand a chance. I love love love playing soccer! Zuc always gets upset because he just doesn’t seem to get it. He only ever wants to wrestle. How in the world do you want to wrestle when there is a soccer ball in the yard!?

This ball is MINE!

Anyway, I still give mom annoyed faces because we basically wake up, go for a walk, do yoga, and then she sits down with like a million envelopes (which taste pretty good) and writes on them and puts little stickers in the corners. She’s been doing this ALL WEEK. Oh, and then after she does that for what seems like eternity she goes and falls asleep, sometimes with envelopes in her hands still! For like two or three hours at a time! That’s why she gets annoyed faces. I think she brings us outside for soccer to make up for sleeping so much. At least they work for something. She’s always slept a lot but never this much. It’s actually kind of strange now that I think about it. She is narcoleptic but she takes medicines that prevent her falling asleep like that. We also get tons of sleep at night. Bedtime is around 9 and then we wake up at 5 to help dad get ready for work but then we sleep in until like 8. That’s a lot of sleep for a human, right? Well, whatever is wrong with her it can’t be too bad because at least she’s playing soccer with us again!

The millions of envelopes that are tasty- even though mom says no..

IT’S FRIDAY! AH-WOOO WE’RE SO EXCITED!! (Dad gets to stay home tomorrow!)

Grrrandmom and Grrrrandpup’s House!

We went to mom’s parent’s house for the week! Mom wanted to be able to meet with her mom and dad’s mom to plan the wedding. She also picked out the most beautiful dress! I can’t wait to get dirt on it! While she was out dress shopping and whatever else you do for a wedding I got to play with Flash, Sampson, and the new puppy! 


Flash and Sampson are sorta my age so we’re all big but Bandit is a new puppy. Mom says I have to be careful not to hurt him but he’s the same size as Zuc. I pummel Zuc all the time and he doesn’t hurt. Bandit cries a lot and is reeeally clumsy so I made sure I was careful anyway. We played every day! He even likes to chew sticks with me! First I make him chase me for it because he can’t catch me and it’s fun but then I always chill out and share. 

​

​
Zuc doesn’t like him much. Bandit always jumps on his face and it freaks him out. I try to buffer the two of them. Sometimes I think I make it worse. 

Anyway, dad had to go back home for the week to work. I miss him. 

Engagement!!

Sorry we haven’t been able to post in a while. On Sunday we went hiking. I looooove hiking! There was all kinds of water and even some waterfalls. Mom was supposed to go with us and dad’s sister Steph but at the last minute dad decided he wanted to go too. He doesn’t even like hiking so we thought he was crazy since it was 90 degrees out but we let him come anyway. On the hike back down the trail we stopped to see a waterfall for the second time. I jumped up on the rock wall so I could see better but jumped back down because I thought I’d get in trouble. Turns out mom wanted to get a picture like that so dad bent down to try to boost me back up. Instead of picking me up though he asked mom if I had a tick! A tick!? Can you believe that?! I don’t get ticks anymore, I take medicine for that. When mom bent down to check, dad held up the shiniest tick I’d ever seen! I’m starting to think it wasn’t a tick though since mom grabbed it out of dad’s hand to put it on her finger and was smiling and laughing. Dad asked her if she would marry him and mom was like “uhh, yeah”. I’m not really sure what or who  marry is but they both seem excited and happy. Mom’s been wearing the tick on her finger everyday and now we’ve been planning something called a wedding everyday this week! She keeps saying we don’t have a lot of time because she wants a fall wedding but doesn’t want to wait more than a year.The pictures look boring but mom says it’ll be fun. Plus, I get to be in it!
