Weekend update and B-Dizzle

This weekend was filled with wedding stuff, as the kids were with their dad for a few days. All of those preparations are coming along, but dealing with different vendors is frustrating at times. Why don't people call back? Hello, we have a pretty big contract with you for our wedding, call me back! I guess I'm pretty low on the pole compared to some of their other clients maybe? I don't know.

Friday was also B-Dizzle's birthday, that's our cocker spaniel Brittany. Normally I'm not the dog lady who celebrates pet birthdays with anything special, but she's 15 now. Who knows if she will have another one? She still scampers like a puppy sometimes, but has some crazy tumors on her hind quarters. We go to the vet this week. We all love her so much, it would be a big BUMMER to find out she has cancer or something like that. As Brittany gets older she becomes more cuddly with us. She used to cuddle as a puppy, then just wanted to chill beside us, now she's back to being with us on the couch and chillin' with the family. I wonder if that's a sign of things to come.

Buddy Bullfrog

As promised, here is a photo of the biggest bullfrog I've ever seen. This is Buddy, he came to stay with us over the break. After checking with 9 pet stores in the area to see when their next delivery of 'superworms' would be, I finally found them the day after his arrival. (Never thought I'd be making those calls? - Its really amazing the things the kids will have me doing sometimes?)

It doesn't seem Buddy was very comfortable with us or his new surroundings, he didn't eat anything for the almost 14 days he was with us. He really had me worried. We even called the teacher a couple times who told us not to worry. Of course, I worried. We cannot be the ones who kill any of the class pets!

Mallory says Buddy eats 5 r 6 worms every other day again, so he's back on schedule. He seems to have developed a personality of late too. He was playing dead in the classroom today. Not funny, I think.
