Happy Memorial Day

Hope everyone is enjoying a happy Memorial day. Not much going on here. Watching the French Open, but it will soon be over for the day due to time difference from Paris to here. Big news of the French Open so far....Naomi Osaka withdrew. She didn't want to talk to any media. And she skipped her press conference after her match yesterday. She was fined for skipping her press conference as those are mandatory for players. Then today she decided to withdraw. I'm not a Naomi Osaka fan. So in my opinion...goodbye, won't miss seeing you! 

It's a rainy day here. Supposed to rain all week. I'm so sick of the rain. So sick of the rain! We have had a ton of rain all throughout May and June is predicted to be the same way. The year I moved to Dallas it was a very rainy May and part of June was rainy too. I'm hoping it's only PART of June and not all of June...if it's all of June I might go crazy.

At least though we have 2 furry havas now. They exercise each other, so if the rain prevents a walk then I don't feel that guilty. I know Landon gets plenty of exercise with Skylar. Skylar does not walk yet. She isn't fully vaccinated. I'm overly protective until a puppy is fully vaccinated. Skylar doesn't even go in the backyard unless she is carried and held the whole time. This is Texas, who knows what kind of strange creatures are in our backyard while we sleep. So I'm not taking any risks with my baby girl.

Skylar is doing very well! She loves barking at Piper. Same as Landon when he was her age. However, her barking at Piper doesn't always go well. As Piper hisses and Skylar loses it and starts crying. Oh my, oh my! She has fit into our little family nicely. Landon loves her. They love each other. I must admit I have to remember we do still have Piper. I'm a dog mom! I love being a dog mom! But yes, I'm a cat mom too. Dogs just act so much different than cats. I feel kind of bad at times because my attention is so focused on the havas but at the same time, Piper is not into too much human contact. She likes doing her own thing. Which is fine and that's generally how cats are. 

Brad's been home since Friday, he made it a 4 day weekend. It's been nice having him home. Late nights though. Although last night I went to bed just a tiny bit later than usual as I try to adjust back to the regular work week hours. I didn't want to spoil myself too much and get used to staying up super late all days of the long weekend.   

Hope you all have been enjoying a good Memorial Day weekend!

One Month

Oh that's right the new name of my little sister has not been announced yet on the blog. So do you want to know what it is? My little sis is named Skylar! She has adjusted to the name very well and very fast. She never adjusted to Scarlet. Mom is a lot happier as mom never adjusted to Scarlet either. And truth be told before mom and dad decided on Scarlet, mom called her Skylar for 2 days. Anyway, everyone is happier with the name. And mom believes, Landon and Skylar sound good together. I think overall that's what mom was worried about the most. A name that works with my name. 

Furthermore, Skylar is celebrating being home with us for 1 whole month. Can you believe it's been a month? So what is she like? Well I'll tell you!

We are the best of friends. She has already learned fetch. She does the Heisman trophy stance just like me. She's fully potty trained. She fluffs pillows and her bedding just like me. She still lacks the ability to jump on the couch. She hates the vacuum. She's suffered two minor bites from the cat. She sleeps through the night. She goes crazy with lots of energy every evening, just like me! She is easygoing and chill. She's pretty vocal already, whines like me. LOL! She loves wrestling, same as me. As mom and dad describe her...she's the girl version of me. We'll see how her personality develops but so far, we are VERY similar. 

 

 

Happy Mother's Day

 

I got up early this morning. Dressed myself, which is no easy task when one has no thumbs. Then I hightailed it to the nearest flower shop to buy mom some flowers. Happy Mother's day to all the mom's with furry kids. Oh and happy mother's day to those mom's that have hooman kids, I guess that counts too! LOL! 

Kind of a weird Mother's day here for us. Mom's a little under the weather and didn't want to risk giving anything to anyone so mom and us furries are staying home. Meanwhile dad is heading to the family event for Mother's day. Mom was reasonably okay with him going. Reasonably! Wink-wink! Dad doesn't recognize that mom is a "dog mom". So it was a no brainer to ditch mom at home and go to the family event, which hurts mom's feelings just a bit. But that is okay, we will have fun around here without dad. We will snuggle and watch a movie, maybe order in a pizza. Hope mom shares the pizza with us. 

To all the moms, have a beautiful day! 

Side Note...my baby sister is no longer Scarlet. The name just wasn't working for anyone including her. It has been changed. She was nearly named, "no-no".  Oh I tease, but believe me she hears "no-no" more than she hears her name right now. So anyway, mom and dad will keep her name a secret until tomorrow or Tuesday, just to make sure they have decided on the right NAME this time. So check back in the near feature to see what her name has been changed to. On IG she is known as #noname
