Rain

Thanks to Hurricane Alex it has been raining here for the past 4 days! And don't worry I'm not complaining, I LOVE rain! Not only does it make it easier to nap off and on all day, it keeps me from needing to water my plants and turns everything GREEN! It also saves us from the 95 degree weather here in Texas and my air conditioner is very thankful for that! But unfortunately I have had to actually get out in the pouring rain over the past few days and that hasn't been fun, but it is not at all the worst part of the rain.
So what is the worst part of the rain you ask?
Maggie!!!!
Maggie hates HATES rain! She despises getting her feet wet and unlike every other dog on the planet she doesn't like splashing in puddles. So she has spent the past 4 days like this... And this...
Lets hope the weather clears up or she is going to go crazy over the weekend!

Note to Self...

Don't leave blue pens where Maggie can find them!

Thankfully she did not go and jump in the middle of the bed with my super clean white sheets! Now lets just hope it will come off of her!

Happy Shamrock Day!!

Maggie (and Mr.K and I) wish you a happy St. Patricks Day!

She really wanted to eat the camera after I took the first picture!

Sunday Mornings

I normally like to spend my Sunday mornings sleeping in a bit and then having tea and toast on the patio, but it has been much too cold here lately for that! So we have just been staying in bed until we absolutely must get out. Yesterday Mr.K and I were joined by ever so loved furbaby…

Oh did I mention that she brought her duck? The bad part is where she is laying is where my legs were not 10 seconds before she jumped into the bed! I really was hoping she had forgotten how to get on the bed already, but no such luck! I guess this is how I will be spending many a Sunday morning for a while! But she was really good and slept at the foot of the bed for over an hour!

Cuddle Bug!

I told you..expect a few about Maggie!

So since Maggie had her surgery she has become quite a cuddlier...it is actually pretty funny, if you are on the couch, she wants to be right there with you! Most of the time Mr.K and I spend watching TV is spent like this...

Yes I know Mr. K needs a hair cut and I can't believe a posted a photo of myself with out makeup, but oh well...that's me!

When I am trying to work or do something in the afternoon, I'm lucky if she will lie next to me!

She would rather I let her get on the keyboard!

And when Mr.K tried to take a nap on Saturday afternoon, she wanted to join in on that too!

She is so funny! Right now she is begging to go and play with the little girls across the street, but they still have homework to do!

I have no interest in doing laundry today! I need to do some work, but I don't want to do that either! I want to sit here on the couch and just be. So I thought I would upload some Thanksgiving pictures...
Maggie got a new toy...it is her new favorite!
Maggie doing her best to look extra cute for the camera. Cousin Daisy Dog...letting us see how well she can behave after her schooling!Maggie and Daisy, who are bestest friends, playing with the new toy! They ran all around the yard just like this for over an hour!
And yes there were people at our Thanksgiving but there aren't any pictures of them...go figure!

Maggie and Her Dinner!

Apparently Maggie thought she didn't get enough in her bowl tonight...

But don't worry the bag was all but empty! Who knew all we needed was a food bag for her to play with, we could have saved all that money we spent on toys!

I like treats!

Two weeks ago or so Maggie moved in. And it has been a little crazy ever since!

See when she first came she brought a visitor...

Her brother Miles. Luckily Miles only stayed about a week, but even still there was a LOT of poop!

Maggie didn't do so well when Miles went to his new home and she spent a lot of time under my kitchen cart!

I have to admit I was really worried at first and thought we were going to end up with both Maggie and Miles if she didn't perk up but she did!

And now she really has come in to her own and boy has she been having a lot of fun!

She has a duck that she caries all over the house and the yard. (I think Mr. K might have to take up hunting just so he can take Maggie!)

She waits "patiently" for her meals! Yeah right, but she sure tries! In this picture she is waiting for a carrot! And this morning she completely impressed my brother with her tricks! She has already learned to sit, shake, lay down and roll over! She hasn't fully gotten roll over, but she is very close! She is such a quick learner! If only she would house train that easy!

She likes to watch TV

But not commercials!

And she loves to sleep just like this! Doesn't that look comfortable? And even with the storm we had last night she slept the whole night for the very first time! Granted she was awake at 6am, but that was a lot better than 2am!

And I promise I will do my best to blog about things other than Maggie but right now there is not a lot going on! Hope everyone has a great weekend! It finally feels like fall here and I am super EXCITED, too bad Mr. K is working this weekend!

Sunday Evening

So yesterday afternoon Mr.K and I decided to drive to a Target a few towns over because they apparently have a fabulous pet section! And it really paid off! Our "super" target doesn't even have 1/4 of the selection this little one had! We got almost everything left on our list! But while shopping I realized that I keep thinking of Maggie like she is a baby! And I keep going a little overboard with what I want to buy, I have already purchased 3 collars for her and I saw another one that we just might have to have too! I know she is a puppy, not a baby...but I want a baby, not a puppy!
I mean I guess I want a puppy to but I have never had a puppy before and oddly enough I am more worried about a puppy then a baby! I think I have lost my mind!
But after the first breakdown, yes there were two! Kevin and I made BBQ Ribs for dinner and they were AWESOME! It might have taken a bit longer than my dad had wanted...but oh well, he can get over it! They were great!
After dinner it had really cooled down, finally, and we had a nice breeze so we lit a little fire in the fire pit on our patio and Mr. K and I sat and read our books for three hours! It was so nice! I love to read and I can't think of a better way to have spent the evening!
I wish bringing Maggie home this week was not freaking me out so much! I am sure I will love her, but right now I am just freaked out by her!

Hi I'm Maggie!

I am really cure aren't I?

I am a white lab with two pink dots on my nose and bright blue eyes. I am about 5 weeks old in these pictures! And I am really excited that K&A are going to take me home in just over a week!

I have never really had a dog before...and I am little nervous about bringing little Miss. Maggie home, but at the same time I am really excited! I hope it all works out! I will post more pictures when we bring her home next week!
