Weird Animals

Well, lately I've been locked up in the computer room with all the dogs, including Moto, when Dave lets Dante and Tika out to eat. Last night, as I was doing things on the computer, I happened to glance over at the door, and this is what I saw. Moto I guess thinks he can fit under the door, and this isn't the only door he does this to. He has been caught trying to get into Heather and Chas's room as well.
I just thought it was a bit interesting to say the least. I'm discovering that Moto is quite the Character. He'll sit on his rear and lick and lick and lick........
It was just interesting. As you all know, we've got weird animals, but that's also because of the humans they live with I guess.

My Idea Of Fireworks

Last night Dave and I went to Wal Mart to get out of the house for a bit. On our way there, we ran into a lightning storm. It was beautiful. We called Heather and Chas, then Marsh and Emily to see if they'd want to watch it. We didnt' get a hold of Marsh and Emily, but I tried to record what I could with my phone. The video is sideways, couldn't figure how to turn it around, sorry. Just turn your head to the left, and you'll get a sore neck, but the origional view.

Quality Family Time

After Kaitlynn went home, and Dave was off work, we went to Idaho Falls with Marsh, Emily, and Tucker. I sat in the back with Tucker and Emily, and the 3 of us fell asleep on the drive up. First thing we did when we got there was go to Red Robin for dinner. It had to be Birthday night because while we were there, they sang to at least 10 people. While waiting for Emily to finish feeding Tucker, I played a "Stacker" game and won a few key chains. We played with them for a bit, watched Tucker play with the balloon I gave him, and then ate our meals.
I got a chicken sandwich that was excellent, and we were all pleased with our meals. After dinner, and Marsh and Emily sucking the helium out of the balloon, we went to Toys-R-Us. I walked around a bit, then found some pointers for our Nintendo DS's. They were Light Saber pointers that light up, and Dave liked them. I got Yoda's and he got Vaders. After Toys R Us we went home and called it a night. It was a fun time with them, and I think it's safe to say that we'd love to do it again someday.

Friday Night Fun

Friday night, after babysitting the girls, Dave and I met the Chaney family at Tough Guy Lanes, for a game of bowling. It was something that Janelle and I planned, and I thought it went over well. Kaitlynn had TONS of fun, and wanted to help EVERYONE bowl. Because I already suck at bowling, I let her help me out on my turn, and for a while, we were ahead of everyone else. When it came time for Kaitlynn's turn, Lee and Janelle took turns helping her out.



After our game was over, we decided to head back to Mom and Dad's to teach them how to play Farkle. They caught on quick, and while we were playing, Kaitlynn slept in the other room. After Farkle, we all decided it was time to call it a night because Dave had to work the next day. There was no fighting, no bickering, and things were pretty fun I thought. It was good to just go out and have fun, without worrying about fights or anything else.

Poor Poor Puppet

Friday I decided that Merlyn's hair was getting long enough to where he needed a shave. To top it all off, where his wound was, was stained from the meds used to flush his wound, so I wanted to get rid of that part too. I started to shave him on Friday, but never finished because I had other things to get done and he needed a break. Yesterday rolls along, and I think "hhmmm, maybe I should finish him off....." so I pull out the clippers after helping Mom and Dad with the Single Adult Luncheon at the church.
While I was finishe him up, I thought it'd be fun to see about giving him a Mohawk. I began to shave the hair away from his ears to the middle of his head, and above his eyes. To my disappointment, it didn't work very well because of the natural part that he has on his head. Then I got to thinking, could I possibly get away with Dying his hair?? I got online during one of my "shaving breaks" and typed in Dyes for Dogs. There were some that had to be purchased for $20 and could cause problems for the dogs, so then I found one about Kool Aid. I read the instructions, thought "hey, this could be easy" and then picked up a few packets and a spray bottle. I had a choice between Purple (Grape) or Red (Fruit Punch) and was disappointed that they didn't have any blue. When I got home, Dave and I decided to run with the Grape. I gave Merlyn a bath, then sprayed down his topknot with the Kool Aide (mental note, when doing this, BE SURE TO USE RUBBER GLOVES!!)
His hair looked grey, and I thought, that'd be cool too, but after it dried, and had time to take to his hair, it turned out to be a faint Lavender color. Looking at it, I'm thinking of adding more, to see if his hair will go a more darker Lavender, so this photo, is going to be a picture of his dye job a work in progress. Let me know what you think. Maybe next time I'll try the Fruit Punch....
