Weddings

OK, so it's been a little while since I've posted, but I haven't forgotten about you, dear internet.

Since the last time I posted, a lot's been going on. 

Britney's growing and Griffey's growing more used to her. Sometimes, they even sleep next to each other for like 5 WHOLE MINUTES! It is adorable beyond words.

Griffey saved us from C's car getting broken into. C and I swore at them out our bedroom windows in the middle of the night and they ran away.

C went fishing and filled our freezer with salmon. Yuck, I mean YUM! :)

I've been working like crazy, hosted a bridal shower (not mine) and am the maid-of-honor in Suzanna's wedding this weekend...shared with Alissa, but she's married now, so she's the MATRON-of-honor - HAHA :)

It's really starting to feel like the wedding is coming up quickly now. Once Suzanna gets married, I think it'll really hit me. I've been so focused on she and Alissa's that I just keep thinking "Mine's not for a while! They have to do their first." But we're almost done with that, and my wedding website says we only have 95 days left! YAY!!!!

Our little police dog

So Griffey barks like a maniac pretty much every night in our bedroom. I get up most of the time and see a cat walking by or a squirrel or sometimes nothing at all. For some reason though, C knows when his barks are real "There are bad guys walking around outside" barks.

Thursday night while we were sleeping, Griffey started going crazy. C woke up and looked outside and there were two guys walking by. I got up to take the puppies out for some mid-sleeping potty time and noted it was 3:38 a.m. When we got back upstairs C asked if the truck that was parked next to our house had been there when we went to bed. I told him it wasn't and started spying into the back of the truck from the upstairs window. I saw one of the kids come back to the truck and drive away. We all laid back down in bed.

A few minutes later I heard another car coming down the street and said "What the heck are all these people doing driving around at 3:30 on weeknight?" We heard the car park and a door close. I got up to see what was going on and the kids had driven back, gotten out the truck and were shining a flashlight into C's car. Before I could alert him, C was already yelling at the kids to leave. They started running to the truck and I shouted at them as well for good measure.

Thanks to Griffey, another T-town robbery has been averted!

Morning routine

So I took a long shower this morning thinking "Ya know, this may not be so bad after all, having two puppies in the house."

But then they became suspiciously quiet, so I hurried my way through the last few minutes of the shower. I jumped out, dried myself off and walked to the door of the bathroom. They both looked up at me with the most precious, innocent eyes like "What?"

Britney had a phone charger hanging out of her mouth that she had bitten down to the wire you're not supposed to see and Griffey was right behind her standing in the epicenter of the sponge he had stolen from the kitchen sink and torn to shreds. Anyone who knows Griffey, also knows he unknowingly had a huge chunk of said sponge hanging from his beard.

Girls v. Boys

There's been a lot of girls versus boys in the house since we got little Britney. She and Griffey have already some hilarious throw-downs!

Unfortunately, C had a family issue arise and had to go to San Francisco yesterday. My sister watched the dogs all day since she had the day off and we decided she should spend the night with me since C was out of town. Here's how the conversation went last night:

Me: I think my sister might sleep here so the dogs stay used to having 2 people in the bed.

C: Seriously? You're going to have your sister sleep with you? They're not going to always have 2 people sleeping in the bed you know?

Me: Yeah, what? Do you not want her to?

C: No, I don't care. Whatever. Girls are weird like that.

Britney Spears peed on my pillow

Yesterday, C and I went temporarily insane and decided to get a new puppy. We've been going back and forth about getting Griffey a friend for a while now and can never decide if we think he'll like the companionship when we're at work all day or if he'll hate us forever because he's not the only one in our lives anymore. Well we now know it's the latter.

We found Britney Spears at a garage sale and she is seriously precious (pics to come later). We brought Griffey over to meet her and they seemed to get along alright. We got home and all hell broke loose. He does not like having an adorable 2-month-old taking all the attention away from the humans.

Currently, I have to agree with The Griffster in harboring serious dislike for the little one. First thing this morning she wobbled around for a second trying to stand and steer clear of the wrath of Griffey, then she popped a quick little squat and peed right on my pillow.

Adopting Ken Griffey Jr.

Two years ago, I was out to dinner and got a pix message from C with a tiny black dog curled up next to a shoe and the message "This could be our dog if we want him." I called back right away, but that was 1/2 an hour after the message was sent. By the time, I talked to C, Ken Griffey Jr. was ours.

I never had a dog growing up and adopting one at that point was the last thing on my mind, but today I don't know what I would do without him... C or Griffey for that matter :)

Griffey is BY FAR the craziest dog this planet has ever seen; anyone who knows him can attest to that fact. And with his enormous bat ears, 2 inch tuft of white chest hair and ridiculous haircut, his beauty is beyond words. He is the 2nd love of my life.
