Nubbins

What does your weekend look like? Mine looks like this.


Yep. I'm baby sitting!! We've got lots of 4-legged children in our house this week. Honestly, I think nothing of it. I think if someone only had 1 dog and gained 3 for a weekend they would find it crazy. But half of these in the photo are mine and an extra two just doesn't phase me. They say that's how it is with kids--going from 1-2 is hard but 2+ is no big deal. I totally get that. They're all good girls so that obviously makes it easier. Per usual, my girls are OBSESSED with Rose and love when she's here. Madison pounces all over (poor) Rose and Ivy stares in awe wishing so badly she could be her. This is Grace's first time to meet Rose and in total Grace style, she's just going with the flow.
That's not all that's going on this weekend though. Tomorrow night we have a big Halloween party to attend and I'm pretty excited about it. My neighbors are throwing it and since the day we moved in its all I've heard about. Apparently it's a pretty big deal and I'm kinda really big time looking forward to it. I'm going as the tanning mom and I'm not gonna lie, I'm super excited about my costume. I love that lady.


Speaking of ladies....these three got groomed today. Don't they look pretty?!!! I don't know why Madison looks like she weighs 97 pounds in this picture. It's just proof to us all that sometimes the camera really can catch a bad angle.
I've never talked about it because it's kinda traumatizing but in case you haven't noticed, my dogs don't have tails. I didn't realize it until I took them to the vet the day I got them and she informed me that their tails were docked. I just assumed they had tiny tails given they weighed 1 pound. Wrong. I cried at the vet and, like an idiot, asked if they would grow back. They don't in case you were wondering. It's okay. I can still see their tiny little nubbin wag and it makes me laugh.
That's all.

Houses

So I've noticed something about Madison. She likes closed quarters/a roof over her head. She loves getting under our furniture, covers and in her crate. I've even caught her buried under a bunch of pillows. So Scott and I decided we just had to get that little girl a house!! We both (don't let him try to tell you he didn't participate...he was so into it) scoured the Internet for a house for Madison and found that Walmart.com has THE BEST pet stuff.


I found the cutest little mini dog house so, obviously, I bought it and it arrived at our door last week and Madison is obsessed!!!!! Ivy loves it so much too actually!


I love that they love their little beds. Holly loved her bed SO much and I'm thrilled they share the same sentiment.
Mom decided to get Grace a house as well. We've got a little mini dog neighborhood going on in our living room and its rediculously too cute.


I think we need to purchase another house simply for the cuteness purpose. These three little ones......I really do love them. I have too many mini cuties in my life. I'm not complaining.

Dragging

I have been dragging all day. Scott and I stayed up until 3:00 last night talking!!!!!! I would definitely consider myself a night owl but 12:00 is my limit. Today hurt.


I have three Shorkies back. This is Mom and Dad's busy work time so we'll have Grace quite a bit for the rest of the year.
They're the three best friends that anyone could have so they love being together. I love it too. Grace feels like mine and I know she loves me so much too.
I can tell Ivy & Madison (and Grace) missed me over the weekend. Ivy has always been more of a Mommas girl so that didn't surprise me but Madison has been extra attached. She's one of those who could live anywhere and be totally okay with it so I've been surprised by her behavior. It's sweet!
I'm beyond exhausted so I'm off to bed. My eyes actually look odd. No more 3 AM chats with the hubby. All day I thought to myself 'this is what I'll feel like when I have a baby.' Prepping myself.....

Woo Pig

So I guess I lied when I said I was back from a blogging break. My bad! For some reason the last two weeks have been so busy. I had a wedding shower party at my house last night and getting ready for it took up quite a bit of time. I've had guests stay with me this weekend and did the Razorback bit today. Anywho, crazy week again = no blogging. Ugh. Next week should be normal again. I hope. I get sad when I skip out on blogging in my little (public) journal here.


Ivy says Go Hogs! She and Madison spent the weekend at Pop's and Gamma's house. I'm meeting Mom in Clarksville to get the girls back tomorrow. I wonder if they've missed me. It's the first time Mom has taken them to her house without me. They're obsessed with my Mom so they probably haven't shed a single tear.
The movie 2016 is calling my name. Time to go.....

GRACE

I love bows. I love dresses. I love when my Momma puts me in pretty sweaters (preferably pink) and I like to get my hair brushed. I love anything that's girly. I think it's strange that I don't own a pair of pearls by now but I don't hold it against anyone.

IVY

I like pretty sweaters! The bows are okay. I don't love them but I don't hate them either. If Momma thinks they're cute then I won't argue with her. She tells me I look so pretty and I love the compliments so much. Even if the bow is uncomfortable it's okay because Momma says I look extra pretty with it in my hair.

MADISON

I don't wan't to be a girl.

Catch Up

Well hello there! I was in need of a blogging break but I'm back now so I guess it's time to play catch up.

Ivy and Madison have officially recovered from their surgery. Ivy has become a barker every since she got fixed and I'm soooo confused. She likes to pretend like there's someone outside on our back porch all the time. We now keep the blinds closed so that's neat. I didn't realize Ivy even knew how to bark. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not but it's definitely annoying and hopefully just a phase.
Grace is staying with us this week! We're just one big shorkie family here in the Johnson household. I put the girls in sweaters this week since it's finally chilly and they all look so cute!!! I can't help myself, I love a dog in a sweater.

This week was a pretty busy work week for me. Other than that it was pretty uneventful. Scott's 10 year reunion was this weekend but he opted not to go. His best friend, James, was in town for it and came over Thursday night to hang out. At midnight him and Scott decided to go to Waffle House. Gross. I, obviously, skipped out on that adventure.

This weekend we pretty much lounged around. I almost hate to say it but I'm becoming such a homebody. I used to live for getting dressed up and having a nice meal on the weekends. Now I enjoy laying around in my sweats, sitting on my sofa with my dogs, watching a movie and eating a delivered pizza or something. I'm definitely getting old(er).
