Naughty Shayleigh

I have never had a dog pee on their bedding until Shayleigh. She hasn't peed on the dog beds and blankets for almost two weeks now. I was always told that dogs don't pee on their bedding. LIARS!!!!! Given Shayleigh sleeps on the bed with us and she is peeing on Bugsy and Lily's bedding. But still, she naps on it during the day. I have been so tired of washing the bedding every other day. She peed all over Bugsy electric blanket and he was not to happy about it that night. Since it was in the wash and he had no heat. Poor thing. She has even poohed on it and other dog beds too. The pictures below are of one dog bed that was waiting to go into the wash. I'm not sure who ripped it first, but when I came around the corner and saw Shayleigh tearing up the bed she had peed on, I got the camera. Obvious Lily helped her with some. When I caught them, Lily high tailed it out of there to leave all of the blame on Shay. Shay just looked at me and kept tearing the stuffing out. Needless to say that that bed went straight into the trash. I am waiting until spring/summer to get new beds. Shayleigh is pretty much potty trained now, but the worst is at night when it is really cold outside. She HATES it at night. You take her out and put her down and she looks at you like you are punishing her. We do have pee pads around the house that she does use, so that is nice. The dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms or living room when we are not a around. So if there is an accident, it is on the wood floor or pee pad. Enjoy the pictures.

Family Christmas picture..... A little late

I hope everyone had a very good Christmas. We did at the Millers house. We had Christmas breakfast at my moms and then we had dinner at Wyatt's sisters house. It was all so good.I slacked off this year on Christmas cards. I did our pictures about the second week of December and then never did anything with them. Sorry! I haven't download the pictures of Christmas yet, but I will soon. Here are our family Christmas pictures.



I swear Lily is smiling for the camera


My three angels. They were pretty good while Adrian did the pictures.

Lighting of the trees

Last Friday I thought it was the Christmas parade or the storybook parade that the "Festival City" does. It was only the lighting of the trees. It is where people display their trees in the Heritage center and you go and look at them. I'm not sure if you can buy them or not. I went with my parents and my nephews and we meet up with my aunt, uncle and cousins. We saw Santa and Ayden and Gavin got their picture taken with him. Before you get to go into the building and look at the trees, they close off main street and there are some singers and then the mayor says some things and some other people and then they do fireworks, which were really good this year and then you get to go to the building. There was some very cute and neat trees. Here are some pictures...... A lot of pictures.

Gavin, Santa and Ayden. Our cheap shot out on the street. Gavin had just woken up and was not too happy

"Puss, in boots"


For a dollar you got to decorate cookies.


It was a pretty fun night. I really liked the trees and I don't know why I never went before. Maybe next year I will enter a Barbie tree.

Thanksgiving

This year was the Millers year. We went over to Kleigh and Sheryll's in Parowan. Glen (Wyatt's dad) got tree permits this year for everyone. Thanksgiving morning we went up the mountain and got our trees. The blonde that I am, I wore tennis shoes instead of my snow boots. My toes were so cold. We usually go that Saturday after Thanksgiving or the first weekend in December. We took Shay with us that morning because we felt bad because we knew she would be locked up later that afternoon. We didn't want her to be locked up all day.Wyatt got a great tree. We think it is the best one yet. We put up our tree on Friday. I put the lights on Sunday. I have 5 strands of lights on it. I think it could have used one more, but oh well. I got to the fifth strand and realized that I had started with the wrong end. I was pissed. I had to take off all of the lights and start over. Our tree is about 8 1/2 feet tall. I had to use a ladder. By the time I was done doing the lights I was sweating and sick of the tree. I still haven't got the ornaments on it yet, I'm going to do those on Wednesday and get the ladder out of the house. We had a good Thanksgiving and I hope you all did too.

Dogs

Here's the update on the dogs. We are finally a happy family. Bugsy and Lily have accepted her. Lily sometimes takes on the mother role. It's kind of cute. Lily doesn't like to share all of the toys with her. We had to take Shay's collar off because Lily kept picking her up by it. Shay sleeps on the bed with us. I like it because I can feel her move and take her out before there is an accident. Shay already likes to snuggle and be touching the other dogs when they are lounging/sleeping. She knows how to use the doggie doors and is so cute to watch trying to get in and out of them. Now, if she would only apply that she can let her self out to go to the bathroom. I'm going through paper towels like crazy. She's not a fan of the cold, but loves to eat and play in the snow. Shay and Lily love to rough house. When Shay gets tired she likes to lay by Bugsy. Shay likes to kiss them, when they let her. She gets so excited when you come home. Today I noticed that she gets a little jealous if you don't pet her and you are petting the other two. She will start barking and whining and will paw at your hands and wiggle her way in. Last night she slept the whole night through. It was nice! She is soooo cute and we are so glad that we got her. She belongs in our family.


No Touchie!!!!
