Fun Fun

What an eventful weekend. Eric and I had so much fun at the dog party. It was fun to see Joe again, and to see some new and old dog friends. Dixie had a blast, she maybe had a little too much fun. Eric and I took Dix to the dog park today and she was not her normal "prancing" self. I think she is still tired from yesterday, which is great... I am not complaining.

As we left the party, we went over to the "flood" that runs off Bruno's into the storm drain. Dixie was wading her feet, and drank as much as she could. When we were waiting for her to get hydrated, Eric saw these two dead baby birds in the flood. In the back of my mind, I couldn't help but think Jacque was behind this... Eric thought it was so sad, and I was kinda freaked out. Because dixie's paws were just in that water... That just can't be good. Eric looked at me and said, "are they dead?" I told my worried husband, that the baby birds were in fact dead. He then got a sad face on, and told dixie, "Dixie they're not dead, they are just sleeping." It was kind of traumatic way to end a fun party, but we will live.


After the party, we went home, and just took it easy. Eric and I have been looking into love sacs, we thought it would be nice to get one, that we can put in the other room, and bring it out when we have guests. So we got looking on KSL.com, and saw the perfect one. So me and Eric, being the two impulsive people we are... went to Mapleton, Utah to get our new lovesac. The people that sold us the love sac could not believe we didn't bring a truck, to haul the stupid thing, but we worked it out. We were a hazard but we made it home. You live and ya learn. Needless to say, Dixie thinks its just a big dog bed, I know shes thinking " Bout time I get an upgrade!"

Badminton and Dry Paws

Happy fourth of July weekend extravaganza... Today was awesome! We went over to my parents house w/ the fam, for lunch, and to play in the pool. It was great, and Lese was in a wonderful mood. We got in the pool, and decided to play a game of badminton, which is not the best idea. It was guys against girls, and we ALSO got lese. We weren't very good, especially with me not having my glasses on, melinda treading water, and my mom not being able to figure out how to make contact with the birdie. Badminton started off with a bang, when brooks decided to flip the "birdie" when my mom asked where the "birdie" was... We all had great attitudes. I was blind as a bat, and nobody really believed me. I had a hard time making contact w/ the ball, but I did better when we got a bright orange birdie. After getting frustrated w/ my team complaining that I was on their team, I decided to put my glasses on, and that's when the game began. I was amazing...

When we got home, we noticed part of Dixie's paw (the padded part) was coming off. We were thinking that maybe they were a little dry or maybe she got a blister when she has been hiking. Eric was really concerned and worried for Dixie. Dixie seemed just fine, but Eric managed to Google, "dry paw remedies for dogs." That's when we went to Target to get some neosporin and a baby sock. When I walked in I went straight for the dollar aisle, because they sometimes have baby clothes... that's when I found some toddler socks that were "Hello Kitty" on them. It seemed even more hilarious to get them. Dixie got the "spa treatment" as Eric rubbed ointment on them, and put a sock over it. Needless to say, Dixie is totally lovin' the attention, and hopefully "heels" her feet. I did feel her pain since the Morris' tend to have "dry heels." Have a great fourth everyone!
