computer love and the mutt

I'm not the only one who loves my laptop.

The girls are always asking to play games on it. Lately we've been watching old cartoons on youtube. watch an episode of the smurfs and your guaranteed to go back in tme 20 years!

















This mutt...










For years, I wanted a lap dog. We got Weston 3 years ago when he was still small enough to tuck inside your pocket. (Literally, we carried him around like that for a few weeks). He was so cute and snuggly. Just what I had wanted. But then, the rotten mutt refused to be housetrained! That was the end of my love for him. I expected some accidents here and there, but this dog insisted on using my new carpet every chance he got. So we banned him to the kitchen. That made me sad. I had wanted a snuggly little dog that would jump into our bed at night and sleep at our feet. Instead I got a dog that slept in his kennel so he wouldn’t ruin the rugs. I felt jipped. Taylor and the girls have always loved him. They don’t care so much about the carpet. But I just didn’t have any reason to like him. Then the boy found him(click on words).. I started to let him run around with us as long as I could keep my eye on him at all times.. Matt giggled and squealed every time he came near him, and that made me smile. I allowed him in more and more so that I could watch Matties delight. The mutt has been hanging with us a majority of the day for weeks. He’s been a good little dog, and I admit, I love that he climbs into my lap for snuggles whenever I'm sitting down.. He still has to be watched like a hawk. He has abused my carpet once again, but I am forgiving him a little more these days..

The kids love that video clip! They make me play it over and over again so they can listen and laugh with Mattie. Aww! That Westy needs shock therapy to stop abusing the carpets.
