new pics

i finally have new pictures of she-la's playland. (do not pay attention to the date on the pic, it is incorrect)




the barrel on the ceiling closest to the front is where she spends most of her time, good view of the tv i think. there is a walkway from that barrel to the other and to the hammock. she is starting to spend more time in the hammock, usually after taking a bath.





these are the newest pics, more to come when she is awake and playing!

polka night

spent a little alone time with polka-my-dot last night. took a walk, played some tug-o-war and had some pizza. she is such a great girl; easy to talk to, understanding...ever have a pet like that? you are able to just have a moment when you know for sure you guys are on the same level and know what each other is trying to communicate? of course she was looking at me like, "i know what you mean...I understand what you are going through...more pizza for me?" yeah it really is all about the food for that girl. can't blame her, it was really good pizza!



see more loldogs are funny dog pictures!

"that's why we make things out of crap"

we went to a local store recently with the kids. you know spring is in the air and there are sales a plenty on outdoor items. one display we stopped at was for kites, all different kinds. my daughter picked one out that is something i haven't seen before. instead of the usual sticks that are used to hold the kite in place, the kite was inflatable where the sticks would go. that was pretty interesting (they cost about $5 each) so we picked a couple out and took them home. of course we were all excited to see what this new kite situation was all about so we opened it up right away and set the thing up. so my girl is throwing it in the air and catching it, throwing it to she-la and watching her run. i turn away to start setting my boy up with his drink and dad goes potty and all of a sudden... POP!!! my girl had decided it would be neat to jump on the inflated part and smile while saying, "popped it!" Dad, having heard the pop, gives some sound information, "see, that's why we make things out of crap we find around the house." lmao...rotfl...it was just fantastic how quickly the point of paying for stuff we could build better was pointless. the kite is sadly out of commision, but now my girl has a neat wall decoration for the play room!

kitty land

My little kitty is the best. She-la finally decided she likes her hammock. My husband has made her a little playland to have as her own and just recently we added a hammock. Well it really was a baby sling that we took apart and screwed to the ceiling so that she has a place to kick it. We actually put it up about two weeks ago but She-la at first was not havin' any of it...at all. We put her in and she quickly jolted out then down the pole and was in the bedroom hiding before we could see where she went. We left her alone and just waited to see what she would do. A copule days went by and we would see her gently paw at the thing to see if it would move. Pawing became stepping into, stepping into became walking on, walking on finally became laying on after about a week. Once she was comfortable with being in it we would see her lay down and start to hang out. While she would be kickin' it she would swish her tail back and forth, you know how cats do. Well it became a game to try to catch her tail.

muddy pup

just recently we had a bit of water outside and it got a little muddy and that is polka's favorite. we went out and played tug-o-war and got a little messy. we of course had to take a bath then and boy that is another favorite...as long as we can play keep away towel when finished. i am always trying to be careful though when she has the towel in her teeth, i am always afraid i will pull too hard and hurt her, especially now that she is getting so old.
