Cute Videos

Oh alright already! I can't stay away...well as it turns out my Grandma D is now nicely settled at home with my Auntie B who flew into town and who is taking good care of her so I have the week off :)..but not from work and so I sit at my computer and can't stay away!

My friend sent me this cute video



and this one too



Now if two guys can foster a lion and he still remembers them a year later after being the head of his pride...and a dog can feed kittens, and a cheetah can mother a monkey...well I think I have a pretty good chance of being a good..no...a great mom too...

I hope when we bring our wee one home "it will just be what I do" - mother instinctively...something in my heart tells me I will!

Cue me crying - sniff!

Sweet New Ride and Star Babies

About a month ago I was perusing my regular blog sites when I came across Sebrina's blog about the Star Babies she makes. They were just so cute and I couldn't resist....so I ordered 2!

When they arrived in the mail I was not disappointed...they are so beautiful and you can tell they have been made with care and love. They were cute enough for Yvan to say "wow, those are really cute" and he does not often use the word cute ;)

Thanks Sebrina!!!!!

So, here is a photo of Suki checking out the new babies!! Sam was a little scared and wouldn't sit with them. I can't wait for our baby to be able to play with them.

On Wednesday, Yvan phoned me and told me to look out the front window...and what to my wandering eye do I see....Yvan riding past the house on a beautiful retro bike with a basket on the front! "Surprise" he said into the phone...I squeaked in delight and promptly started to cry...he had gone and gotten me a new bike without me even knowing....we had looked at them the week before but we had decided to wait on it. This is a such a special gift because he took the time to plan it and surprise me! I love my husband so much!!

My Sweet New Ride!!!

I can even take the Star Babies with me for a bike ride....don't worry we will get a real safety approved bike seat for the wee one...we won't put him or her in the basket :)



This bike is so much fun and it is so nice to ride...I love that you are sitting upright and not leaning over!

We took the bike out for its first ride last night and it was so awesome. I could have ridden forever...and the best part is the seat is nice and cushy and wide that I didn't get a sore bum :)

I love my sweet new ride but I love Yvan more!!!!

Way to Cute!

As many of you know we recently added a new member to our family. Little Grissom came to live with us almost 2 months ago.

The first weekend we had him was a disaster. The girl we adopted him from said that he was crate and house trained. She also adamantly insisted that he never barked and never chewed on anything.

Well....apparently none of those things were true!!! He peed all over the house, would not go in his crate - no way, no how - he barked at all the noises and passing people and dogs he saw from our living room window. I have to admit that he has the funniest bark for such a little dog...it is so low and deep. Then he ate a pair of my shoes and my new spring purse (I had searched for the perfect spring purse for months). I was not a happy pet owner to say the least. Yvan is way more tolerant than me...well actually he is head-over-heels in love with our new puppy - and insisted that things would get better.

And slowly they have....Grissom hadn't peed in the house for almost two weeks now. Until Wednesday night that is -he peed over by his food dish and we think it was because the bowls were empty, he was hungry and so he peed to show us that he was mad. At least, that is how I justify his actions.

Our little dude, Leroy, has been a little depressed to say the least since the new addition. He has always been THE animal of the house (he rules the cats) and so to share attention has not been his favourite thing. He is slowly warming up to Grissom though and they love to go on walks together. Leroy still doesn't like it when Grissom plays with his toys and follows him very closely when he has a chew stick.

I bring both dogs with me to work (my husband owns a business and I work with him) and I have one doggie bed under my desk and one under a chair. It was a very hard adjustment at first for Leroy when we started bringing Grissom to work because it has been his domain...no cats, nothing, so he did not take kindly to having Grissom here.

However, this morning Gerard was in my office and noticed this -

This is a first!!!! Leroy let Grissom lay on his bed with him and they are both slumbering away peacefully. Normally Leroy would turn into devil dog (something to be seen) and Griss slinks away.

Griss loves Leroy with all his little puppy heart and learns by leroy's example - Thank GAWD! since Leroy is a really good dog if Griss learns from him that is o.k. by us.

So, today is one small step for doggie kind, one GIANT leap for the bond between Leroy and Grissom.
