I am so frustrated that blogger won't let me put text above my first picture anymore. It's being glitchy lately! Anyway...
We've had a busy week!
Before I get into the week, this is our new dog food (pictured above). Does anyone know anything negative about this brand? The kiddos seem to be doing incredibly well on it. It's turkey with fruits and veggies mixed in, totally organic. It doesn't have any of the nasty fillers, it doesn't give Cosmo any troubles, and I have noticed a huge reduction in poop making, poop eating, grass eating, and all bad digestive things in general. Everyone loves it except for Lucky (introduction to Lucky, below), because he is still mourning the fact that he no longer receives table scraps with his food... and if he does, they aren't nearly the quality that he was getting before. Sorry, Lucky. Gone are the days of leftover rosemary chicken and potatoes, filet, and the like.
Welcome to the crew, Lucky!! This is Lucky, riding in the back of my car on his journey home. We've had an interesting couple of days! The most important part is that Lucky gets along with all the other dogs. Well, almost all the other dogs. Cosmo silently hates and resents him, and has been pouting in the corner all weekend, and asking me for lots of extra attention and reassurance. Not only is he disturbed, but Lucky has stolen his best friend, Lily, so Cos no longer has a playmate. Oh, and Lily likes Lucky a little bit too much. She keeps trying to, um,
entice him. Eh. I have started letting them out in shifts because this really bothers me. Does anyone know, will this behavior die down, or is there a way to curb it? They are both fixed!
Lucky came home on Friday night and met everyone, then promptly went to the vet for his neuter appointment Saturday morning. I had to take Lucky by myself, and when we got to the vet he started commando crawling at the front door. He crawled on his belly all the way into the back room. Poor dawg! He doesn't get out much, so he was awfully scared. Jeff and I went to pick up our stoned dog later in the afternoon (so out of it he walked into a glass door) and Lucky decided not to speak to me (or walk with me, or come to me, or acknowledge my presence) for about a day and a half.
We've had a drama filled couple of days with him, including lots of marking on Friday night. The darned dog marked my dining room table!!! I beat him and screamed in his face, then he turned around and marked the kitchen cabinets right in front of me! Poor Jeff had to watch me beat the H.E. double hockey sticks out of his dog, and I think Lucky and I have come to an understanding of just whose house it is, because he now marks outside only (and I am buying ammonia tonight and will be "marking" over him out there, too, thank you very much). Now with Jeff at work today, Lucky is acting very gentlemanly and following me around. He doesn't jump on me or nip at me anymore. Did my butt whooping earn me alpha status, perhaps? Or at least "higher on the food chain than Lucky" status? Cool!
Also on Friday, Jeff's mom and I made a lot of cheesecake. We're having cheesecake as our wedding cake, so we practiced decorating them and putting them on the stands. I think it's going to be pretty easy, and Diane has lots of cool ideas for decoration, and never ending patience for making the perfect cheesecake.
Dog tags arrived, so everyone is loved and tagged. I can't imagine what these people thought as they were stuffing 6 tags into the envelope.
And, you know, I have to end my blog with the token adorable Corgi pic.
The end.
Random pic showing the venue, and the awesome tables with the bright green napkins. I'm loving it!!! Jeff's mom helped me pick the table cloths and napkins, and I made my own centerpieces.

Brent has a cute baby face, but don't tell him I said it.

This one, below, is my favorite, I think. It even has a cute little jacket (not that they need it in Houston in May!)
This one goes with the style of my dress pretty well, and comes in choc, apple green or ivory:
