Bittersweet Off-Roading Trip

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Two weeks ago, we decided that it was time to take an off-roading trip. D felt that he could once again handle some of the jostling that takes place during the trip, and we felt that our new pups were at a point where they would do okay in the vehicle. We quickly learned that we were out of practice when it came to getting ready for our outing. There was a time where we could be ready to go in no time flat, but apparently, we are really, really out of practice. Yep, it had been longer than we…

The Case of the Tomato Snatcher

Posted in Family

One day, not so long ago, tomatoes started to disappear off our tomato plants.  I had previously watched Wyatt snag a couple of ripe tomatoes that had fallen to the ground when either he or Wiley had brushed up against the bush during their play sessions, but little did I know how much these two liked those tomatoes.  It wasn’t until I caught a certain someone – who shall remain nameless – snatching ripe tomatoes right off the vine that the mystery was solved.  Yep, he was caught red handed pawed. Of course, his little furry buddy made sure that…

Puppies: Play Fighting

Posted in Family, and Photography

I’ve found that homeschooling, keeping up with the house, and training the puppies has taken up pretty much all of my time.  I’m rarely on the computer these days, so my posting has been cut down drastically from my norm.  I know that once we have the whole house training thing under control that life will become a little more “normal”, but the training won’t stop there. Having two puppies has created quite the lively household. Wiley is (from what we know) a little over a year old and due to him being a large breed dog, he’s definitely still a puppy.…

One Puppy, Two Puppies…

Posted in Family

I haven’t been blogging much these days because D has been home from work, and we’re going through lots of adjustments here on the homefront. As you recall, we adopted Wiley from the humane society the weekend before Christmas.  He’s been integrating into our family.  As with any changes, there have been ups and downs, but he is definitely 100% a member of the family.  He’s still learning to be comfortable with D in all areas of the house.  For whatever reason, he’s a little intimidated by D (height/size maybe?).  He loves playing with him and cuddling with him in…

Kick-Start Fitness Week 3: A New Routine

Posted in Family, and Fitness

Yesterday, I talked a little about a fresh look on life thanks to our crazy new dog.  I admit that I had forgotten some of the work that goes into owning a younger dog – especially a rescue dog.  We’ve quickly found that there are certain routines that he already has set in place, so we’re trying to keep some of these routines while establishing new ones. One of Wiley’s established routines is daily walks. Now, they said that he walks well on a leash, but we soon found that wasn’t exactly the complete truth.  He does walk on a…
