A Little Change in the Weather

We finally got a little bit of rain the other day, and it came down HARD! It only lasted about 20 minutes, but in this drought every little bit helps. I don't know how well you can see in the picture above, but it was absolutely pouring!

Of course once it starting pouring outside May-May begins to ring her potty bell non-stop. Thinking she'd reconsider if I showed her what it looked like outside I opened the front door and said, "You really want to go out in that?" Apparently, she did. She bolted out the door. Now, she wasn't on a leash, but I knew she wouldn't go far. Instead she decided to challenge the kids that live next to us that were out there standing around with towels on their heads. It was great.
Cute little Brianna chased May-May around for a good 10 minutes until she finally decided to go potty, and then come home.

After she came inside she decided to watch the rest of the downpour from the couch.

If You Give Me A Treat...

I finally got a good video of all the tricks our little May-May knows. She's such a smart cookie! Ander did most of the training... I was just her cheerleader. She caught on very fast!

For The Geek In All Of Us

I saw one of the sweetest movies today, it was sent to us by my mother-in-law. This is a movie for the geek inside you. A super sweet story of a geeky guy who runs into a super pretty girl on the train. He then asks all of his online buddies how to go about the situation and get up the guts to ask her out and they all throw in their two cents. I laughed, I cried, I was moved, I loved it. What a great little movie! But be warned, it's all in Japanese and has English subtitles, so if that's not your thing then you won't enjoy it. I would recommend it to anyone! Go and rent it!

I Think I'm In Love

I have found my new favorite cleaning and weight loss tool! Behold: The Sweepa Rubber Broom! I was trying to figure out what to do about all the black May-May hair all over our carpets when I remembered seeing a rubber broom somewhere on the interwebs. I found it and ordered it and I am so impressed! This thing can do it all. Tile, carpet, linoleum, hardwood, you name it. It also has a squeegee on the back! I can scrub my hard floors and my carpet, squeegee spills, and sweep up all the May-May hair! (And my hair) And not only does it clean, but you work up a heck of a sweat when sweeping hair from the carpet. I'm telling you, yes you, you need to buy this broom. It will be the best tool you'll ever own.

Embarrassing: This is the hairball I swept up from our bedroom. ONLY our bedroom. Yes, that's what was on our floor. Granted, a lot of my own hair is in that hairball too, but this just shows you the awesomeness of this broom.

Rub A Dub Dub

May-May has short hair, but she sheds like crazy. We found a nice little doggy shampoo at Wal-Mart that smelled super good, so we decided to start bathing her once a week to see if that helped. She's gotten better with her baths, but she doesn't love them.

At least she actually sat down in the water. She knows "sit" but usually the command is void when she's in the water.

Very ladylike...

All clean! She loves rolling around in the towels when she's finished with a bath. And for some reason she feels the need to run around the house as fast as she can once she's done. I think she secretly loves being clean. I know I love a clean puppy.

A Little Place to Call Her Own

Our good friends gave us their old bed-frame so we FINALLY got our bed up off the floor! Our queen size bed has pretty much been sitting on the floor these whole 2 years we've been married. I'm super excited to finally have a normal looking bedroom... who else is excited? May-May. She found a new place to hang out. We've started to let her sleep under us at night as well, she stays there all night. I don't really blame her, I'm sure it's nice and cool in this 100+ degree weather.

She's a teeny bit big to fit under there easily, so it takes her a minute.

Please forgive the flash on her eyes... without it it was too dark to see her.

This is my favorite May-May moment. She never lays like this flat out in the open, it's always under things, so she literally looks smashed. I hope she can fit under there forever, it's one of the funniest things to see.

It Takes Two

Today we were able to go and dog-sit for our friends' dog, Spock. He is one of the cutest little things I've ever seen in my life. Isn't he adorable? He and May-May have become quite the little duo. They literally run around the kitchen non-stop no matter how long we're there.

Playing Tug 'o' War...

trying to eat each other's faces...

fighting over a rubber sandwich...

And finally... peace and quiet!

I hope May-May and Spockers grow up to be super good buddies. I am definitely grateful to Spock because he tires May-May right out, and we all know that a tired dog is a well behaved dog!
