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.

 

Back At It!

Mom brought us back home on Saturday. We were all ready to be home and back to normal again. Especially Zuc, he was starting to freak out a little bit being away from dad for so long. I missed dad too. Mom and her mom and dad, along with Auntie and her boyfriend, Uncle and his girlfriend all left as soon as we got back! It was okay though, Zuc and I got to cuddle with dad alllll night! When they all came home it was really late. I could smell Aunt Steph on them. I could also smell foods, delicious alcohol, and a yummy plant smell that sometimes wafts in from the neighbor’s house. 


Mom neverrrrr stays out late. The next morning I could tell she felt bad but she was happy. It was weird. She stayed in bed almost all day! We did address a whole pile of wedding invitations but even just doing that she had to take rests. Monday she was still sore. We went for our walk but barely. She took all kinds of medicines but we still didn’t do much. Hopefully today will be different and she’ll be okay enough to play! Then again, I’ve been recovering from playing so hard with Flash, Sampson, and Bandit I haven’t done much other than sleep too! 

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!
