Day 27 - Pets

We currently have one pet, a three year old miniature dachshund, Jake. He is a mix between a long haired and short haired, which turned out to be perfect for us. He has such a quirky personality. He is VERY submissive and all you have to do it point at him sternly and he goes belly up. That doesn't keep him from getting in to trouble though! He likes to tear up dirty diapers and steal my underwear. He also will chew things up if we leave him more than once in the day. Jake's newest thing is chasing the neighborhood kids off our sidewalk. He weighs 12 pounds so he isn't exactly menacing, but he nudges their ankles with his nose which sends them running. What a little stinker.

The day I picked him up from the breeder

He was so little!

I was going to add pictures to go with all of these but I am too tired. We are ALL battling colds in this house, and tomorrow I need to take Molly to the doctor to get her cough checked out. Poor girl.

On to a story. If you get queasy about #2, you may want to close this window.

For Brooke's 1st birthday my Grandmom sent her a hodge podge of stuff. A book, a toy, some outfits, etc. One of the clothing items was a 2T fleece nightgown. It did not do her much good then but this week I decided she would probably fit in it. We hadn't had diaper issues before so I figured it would be fine. Night 1 went well and she seemed nice and comfy cozy. We put Brooke in her jammies two nights in a row because she doesn't really get dirty while sleeping, so we moved on to Night 2 of the fleece nightgown. I heard her knocking on her door the next morning and walked into a wall of poop smell. This isn't unusual so I sat down to pull the wipes out of her dresser. She goes, "Poop!" and when I look up she is pointing to her book corner. There on the floor lies her diaper and next to it is a pile of poop. Not only that but the poop got on one of her toys and her favorite book [which is now in the trash]. I got her dressed and cleaned up the poop. Done, right? Wrong. I accidentally left the diaper lying on the floor and our dog decided to give it a go. He pulled all the poopy wipes out and began to eat the poop. I caught him mid-munch and chased him to the laundry room with a towel.

No more nightgowns. No more diapers on the floor.
