Our newest addition

First off, sorry I haven't blogged in a bit. Phil got home Tuesday night and it was so great to see him. Even though he had only been gone for 8 days, it still seemed like longer. He came home with a dozen red roses for me, so sweet.





Other then that, things have been pretty busy around here, we've been out and about running errands and the past two days I have been feeling pretty sicky, so I have been in bed a lot, resting and trying to feel better. Right now Phil is up in Show Low, about 4 hours north of here, camping with his dad, I told him to get even though I didn't feel good because all I am doing it resting and napping and he might as well see his dad, who he hasn't seen in months.





But, during our busy week we did get a new addition to our family...introducing...Brandi....








We adopted her from the Arizona Humane Society. She is a 6 month old Australian Shephard mix, and it also looks like she has some collie in her. When I saw her, all the other dogs in the kennels were barking and she just sat there staring at me. We went around a few times, but we kept getting drawn to her, so we just had to get her. She already knows some basic commands like sit and stay and lay down, and even though they told us she was partially housebroken, she seems completely housebroken to us, hasn't messed in the house once and will go get her leash and bring it to us or scratch at the front door when she needs to go out. Very quiet dog, and very smart, and so sweet. She loves to give us kisses and she really is no trouble at all, at night she will lay at the foot of the bed on the floor, but with Phil being out of town, she slept last night on the bed with me. And she is a heavy sleeper, anytime I moved or got up to go to the bathroom, she never moved, she was dead asleep. Only thing that bugs me is that she will wait forever before going number 2, especially when it is cold outside at night and I am ready for bed. She is a great addition to the family and it is nice to have the company actually. Phil has been wanting a puppy and frankly, while he is at work during the day or if he goes out of town again, it is nice to have her. I planned on doing a video blog of her, but seeing as I have been feeling pretty crappy the since yesterday and have spent most of the weekend sleeping, I will video blog her when I am feeling better.
