MADSEN

How fun would having one of these be?! I saw the link to them on my sisters blog. She posted what she would do if she had one so i think i will too.
-I would throw all of my nieces in the back and go for rides! This might give me the title "Worlds best aunt" :)
-I would use this as my grocery shopping transportation! Think of how fun it would be to go shopping and ride home with all of your goodies in back.
-I would for sure give darla a ride! Actually for those of you who saw the picture of all the dogs in our family....can you just see ALL of them going for a ride in the back!

Oh how i would love to see one of these on my door step!

Attention all dog lovers :)

Last December (i think) my sister Ellery adopted a 4 year old Japanese Chin dog named LuLu.  I fell in love with Lulu. She had such a good temperment, was a very pretty dog and just sweet as can be.  I had been really REALLY wanting a dog of my own for a very long time.  One day Ellery and i were on the website that she previously found LuLu on and we saw Miss Darla (who was previously named Mya).  We then went on to find that Darla was one of LuLu's puppies! I know it sounds really weird but i fell in love with her picture, it felt as if she was supposed to be mine.  That night i got the okay from griffin and two days later i was driving home with my new baby.  
I know it all sounds to good to be true. Well here's the thing. These poor dogs come from a breeder in Utah who has WAY to many dogs. They don't get enough human interaction one on one, and are more comfortable around other dogs than people.  When i brought Darla home she didn't eat for a few days. She was very confused.  Because i was working one on one with her and showing her love for the first time she bonded to me like you wouldn't even believe. I now have a shadow. She is such a smart, loyal, sweet dog.  
So here is the reason i am posting this big long essay about how wonderful my pup is.  There is another Female Japanese Chin available from the same lady we got Darla from.  Since these dogs have had puppies before and are a couple years old she only charges for their spay/neuter. BUT if you have a vet that you want to spay/neuter instead she will give her to you for free.  Below is a picture i got from her website. (sorry its so small) This doggy is named Linglee.  She is even tinier than my darla. She weighs 7 lbs.  Japanese chins are very mild, quiet, sweet, companion dogs.  If griffin and i were allowed more than one in our condo i would have already adopted her. Let me know if you are interested or know of anyone that might be! These dogs need forever homes.

My family is a bit dog crazy and we finally got a picture of all of the siblings and family dogs together at once. (left to right)  Rocco, LuLu, Marvin, Tess Darla, Tug, and Ducati :)

SPIDERS!!!!

For some fabulous reason we are having a major spider problem!!!! I find them everywhere! I didn't used to be afraid of spiders, but now that i find them all over my house they are really freaking me out. Last night i was laying in bed and felt something slide across my arm. (so lightly i thought it was a hair) Then i realised it felt as though that hair had legs. I flew out of bed freaking out. Screamed for griffin. Searched through our covers.....and sure enough hiding UNDER MY PILLOW was a HUGE brown nasty spider!!! Im not kidding this thing was bigger around than a quarter. FREAKY. WHAT DO I DO?!?!
