My boy is back!

Well, my boy is back and it is so nice to have him here.  He didn't get a great report from the puppy sitter but it was all things that I knew about and have been working on.  They said they liked him and that he was super sweet and really good out in public so that is good.  I was surprised how much he grew.  I dropped off a twenty pound baby and picked up a 27 pound toddler. lol Here he is in my car on the way home.  He was really happy to see me and went a little crazy.  But, we didn't go straight home I took him to run some errands and he was great.  I am so happy he is legal.  
We went to drop my computer off with a friend to fix it.  (Vladd shut off about a month ago and has been dead ever since, I am really hoping he can be revived before school starts next month or I am in trouble, it was hard enough ending the last semester without him I can't do it again!  Please Vladd come back, I miss you!)  We also went to Wal-mart to get a few things and he was okay there.  A tad more distracted than I had hoped and he wouldn't stop rubbing his face on my leg and I kept tripping, so we kept wal-mart short and left before I had everything I needed.  Then I had to run to school to sort some stuff out with my registration (they had me listed as non-resident, what the crap!)  So I took the opportunity to give Fullerton a tour of the school that he will be frequenting starting next month.  He did really well and we got stopped a lot and he sat patiently and let people pet him.  (Has anyone else, especially those with yellow dogs, noticed that people call your dogs Marley A LOT lately?  Fullerton sure got that about a million times today)  Anyway, here he is in the gift shop at UVU.
And I gave him his Jolly Ball (I left a wrapped sterilized bone with the puppy sitters to give him on Christmas and they said he loved it.)  The Jolly Ball was sure a hit, he loved it.
I also got updates on a couple of my dogs while I was gone.  When I got back I had an e-mail from Adelines mom.  Adeline continues to do really well at agility her speed is getting better too.  This is when she completed a fast and accurate course with 21 obstacles.  Good job Addie! Here are the pictures from her latest competition, she looks like she is really cruisin'.  


I also got a bit of an update on Sherman, which I am still smiling about.  A woman that I know from a e-mailing list sent me this message:  


My daughter and I were out shopping at the mall and ran into Sherman and his partner. I said I knew his original puppy raiser from online. She said to let you know how much she loves him! He has really gotten into her heart! She is hoping he will be fully hers soon. He is working about 70 percent accuracy. Not sure what they have to be to be fully successful. Wanted to pass on the info to you. 
I don't even have words to describe how happy I am. I am so glad that she loves him and that he is working well for her.  He was definitely a remarkable dog and was meant to have a job.  I am happy he is out there doing his thing and I hope he is officially hers soon too!! I also hope his accuracy gets better too I bet that would make the "official" process go a bit quicker.  But, I am happy to know he is loved.  Keep up the awesome work Sherman.  I miss you baby boy!
Well, have a grand night everyone.  

MEXICO

Here are a few of my Mexico pictures.  We all had a blast, but blogger got them all out of order so I will do the best I can in regard to commentary. :)


This is when we first got on the ship my dad, sister Ashley, me and my g-ma (and roommate) by the pool.  
My bro-in-law rented a Rhino and we cruised around Mazatlan it was pretty fun and crazy, driving and traffic is INSANE in Mexico.
Me going down the rock slide. Unfortunately I went off the wrong side and hit a rock, therefore bashing up my knees pretty good. It was still fun and I did it a few more times after that, just made sure to go off the other side and avoid the rock. You can kinda see my terrified look because I could see the rock I was going to hit. LOL
All my sibs on formal night.  Me, Ashley, Whitney, Brady, Haley and Tori.
Playing Shuffle Board on the ship, I totally conquered my sisters.  It was pretty fun.
Me and Tori dancing outside the mens room.  We got some weird looks from a bunch of guys leaving the bathroom, but we had a lot of fun making up our own dances.
This guy did an oil panting on a tile for me. It is gorgeous and he only uses his fingers and fingernails it is amazing to watch him.
Our Taxi driver with my nephew Cannon. If anyone is in Puerto Vallarto I highly recommend "Nacho" he is a good driver and knows all the best hangout spots!
This sign just made me laugh!!
Me Para Sailing on Christmas Eve, it was probably the coolest thing I have ever done!
Me with Senior Frog the spokes frog for Corona Beer, he is EVERYWHERE in Mazatlan.
Our Boat, I love that boat it was so fun
My first time playing the slots. I put in 3 dollars and won $20, it was awesome. But I stopped while I was ahead. WOOHOO!! This is me and my winnings.
Brady, me and Tori as the boat took off from LA
All in all Mexico was fantastic and i would love to go again someday.  But I am happy to be home (and not a a boat where I got sea sick for two days, not fun) lol

I'm Back and 6th picture

RULES: what you do is go to your Picture Folder, and in the 6th folder, choose the 6th picture and tell the story behind that photo. And then tag six more people to play!
This was Christmas Eve 2005. The story is I was trying to paint Prudys toe nails (red and green) Like I did every Christmas. Well, she wasn't really into it this year and after I had painted two or three nails she kicked the nail polish bottle out of my hand and it sprayed all over her, my jeans and the carpet and since her toes were wet she tracked it all over. (We still have the stains on the carpet and if you enlarge the picture you can see a lot of red paint on her fanny) and then she went over to my grandma (who doesn't like dogs) for sympathy. It was so cute and my grandma felt so bad for her she let Prudy rest her head on her lap and my g-ma patted her on the head. That lasted a whole whoppin five minutes before Prudy came back to me and snuggled in my lap for some mommy love. :)

And I tag anyone who hasn't been tagged and wants to play.

Anyway, I just got back from Mexico and I had a blast. It was so much fun. (Look for a post later) now I am trying to kill the time before I go pick up my boy (who I miss SO much) I am excited to get him back and I hope he was okay for the sitter. It is nice to be back home. I just got finished reading up on every ones blog and it sounds like you all had a great holiday! Toodles for now.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings. . . what have you

Well, Fuller is over at the puppy sitters, my bags are packed and I need some sleep before we head out (at 4am, *sigh*) so I leave you with this.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
I hope everyone has a fantastic holiday!!

GUESS WHO'S LEGAL!!

Hey everyone!
Fullerton is LEGAL WooHoo! I can't believe he is so old. :)
So, after Fullerton got his shots he got to play out in the snow off leash for the first time. He really enjoyed it (eating it mostly) Here you can see his Santa impression with the white beard. :) (and the tongue makes me laugh)
"Mommy my toes are cold."
We only stayed out for about 10 minutes until he started shivering. It was pretty pathetic looking but I am excited for my little man.

And here is a video of him. I always do this little test to make sure my puppies really understand the "okay" command. So here it is. He did so good. He jumps after every word I say though, pretty cute but he knows it. :)


I better go I need to pack up his stuff and take him over to the puppy sitter in a little bit. Toodles for now. :)
