One crazy dog!

Das ist Zuma... verrueckt und nicht zu knapp!
Vor ein paar Wochen mussten wir eine neue Hundetuer kaufen, weil die alte zu klein wurde und unsere Hunde immer noch wachsen. Die neue Hundetuer wurde am gleichen Platz montiert, wo die alte war und sah haargenau gleich aus, die Tuer ist nur halt groesser. Und was macht unser Angsthase? Er traut sich nicht durch die neue Tuer und weigert sich schlicht und ergreifend wieder ins Haus zu kommen. Wir haben alles propiert, ihm sogar Steak vor die Nase gehalten, aber ohne Erfolg. Cosie hatte ueberhaupt keine Probleme mit der neuen Tuer. Es dauerte ueber 36 Stunden bis er seinen Hungerstreik abbrach und seine Angst endlich ueberwindete und seitdem nenne ich ihn nur noch mein "Chicken".

Letztes Wochenende machten wir uns auf den Weg zur Tierhandlung. Da der Kofferaum voll war mussten die Hunde auf den Ruecksitz, das Fenster war runter gekurbelt, weil die beiden es lieben, ihren Kopf heraus zu halten. Und was macht unser Chicken Zuma? Er entscheidet sich kurzerhand aus dem offenen Fenster zu springen...das Auto stand nicht einmal still, wir rollten auf eine rote Ampel zu! Ich bin natuerlich direkt hinterher gerannt, aber Zuma reagiert natuerlich nicht, wenn man ihn ruft und denkst, das ist alles ein lustiges Spiel. Das war ganz schoen peinlich wie ich da kreuz und quer ueber die Strasse lief und Autos stoppen musste. Gluecklicherweise ist nichts passiert und ich habe ihn relativ schnell wieder einfangen koennen, aber das haette auch ins Auge gehen koennen!
Nun heisst es zurueck zur Hundeschule und ihm mal ein paar Manieren beibringen!:)

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
