Before I got put on bedrest, I was usually in charge of keeping Buddy and BoLeo clean and trimmed BUT... then all these pregnancy complications arised and I couldn't keep up with them anymore. Buddy's hair was LONG and BOY, was he stinky! Peeeyeewwww! Oh, and the clippers we had bought to cut his hair got messed up!

We finally bought some new clippers and Joe finally had the time to cut his hair and bathe him! Buddy lovesssssss to get his hair cut. He will sit there patiently and let us cut his hair. I think he actually finds it soothing! haha! Anyway... I took some videos of before and after, and they're pretty drastic! I hope you enjoy them! After his haircut, he was feeling like a million BUCKS! *tehehe*

Man, I'm so tired today y'all. I've been on the go since 4'ish in the morning. I had to drop off the hubby at work so I could keep the car to take the boys to the vet. So I didn't get much sleep last night. =/

Anyway... the boys did good. I thought BoLeo was going to be a PAIN at the clinic barking and yapping the whole time but he proved me wrong. He was actually curious about the whole place and the people inside. I think he could smell all the other animals inside too. haha. He did "grrrr..." at the lady at the front desk when she got too close to us. But that was it... He weighs 6.3 lbs. my little stinker! Vet said he looked GREAT. It was so cute because they had this board by the door when you walk in and it said, "Welcome BoLeo, Sumo... [and all the other animals that had an appt that day]" I forgot to take a pic! That was so neat. It made me smile. They are so great there. We've

been taking them to that clinic since we moved here... I'm gonna be so sad when it's time to leave. He got his examination by the doc. Which the way, I heart him! He sits down, takes his sweet time with them and checks them good and asks all sorts of questions. He's great... He said he looked perfectly healthy. No ear, eye, teeth problems. His tests came back negative so I started him on Heartworm prevention. He did great during the examination except he cried when they took him to the back to draw blood... my poe' widdle baby! It broke my heart! I can only imagine how I'm going to feel when we take our human baby to get his/her shots too! LOL He's doing ok now though. He's just tired and sleepy. He's really sore on his arm and leg where he got his shots so I gotta be careful when I carry him. I forgot earlier and when I picked him up, he cried and scared the crap out of me! LOL Poe' baby...

Sumo is fine. We actually decided to pay to let him spend the night there to recover well because Buddy and BoLeo love to be all over him when he's in the house and stuff so I didn't want him to get hurt since he'll have stitches where his manhood was. LOL I called to check up on him and they said he was doing just great. He's on pain medication so I'm sure he's feeling good! HAHA We'll pick him up tomorrow noon when Joe gets home from work. He said he wants to be there to pick him up. That's his baby so... he'll be fine! =) I can't wait to check out his butt and  not see any jewels there anymore. LOL

Buddy's next on the list. He needs to go in to see the vet in about 2 months. He'll be due for everything. And a dental cleaning... he has bad breath. Peeewwweeeeuuuuu! LOL Thank goodness he's due till a few more months because pets are expensive! We almost spent 300.00 on the boys today... YIKES! LOL We love our pets though. so it's ok... We want them around for a long time. =)

Anyway... just wanted to give an update.

Remember them? LOL yeah.... I don't ignore them, I swear! I love my iMac and all but I give them love EVERYDAY. Well, except Sumo right now. He's been on my bad side lately being a bad boy... but I still heart him. He's getting his little jewels chopped off tomorrow... Poor boy... He has to though.. He's been spraying around the house... and THANK GAWD we don't have carpet because that crap stinks! I hope fixing him fixes the problem... and My Bo' is getting all his shots tomorrow... Poe' widdle baby... he's gonna cry! LOL Oh, and Buddy? He's always low key. He's a good dog. He just stays out of trouble... for the MOST part. LOL

I was talking to Mayra on IM and was asking her if her little Roxxy sleeps on her bed at night because we're having a problem with Buddy now. And it's really all my fault. My fault only. When he was little, I used to invite him on the bed to sleep with me cause he was our first puppy and he was so cute! PLUS, he kept my feet warm! Well... now it's a different story. I mean, he's still cute! LOL But now that I'm pregnant, I get hot easily at night and I want to stretch my legs without him blocking me and growling at me in his sleep cause I want him to move. Last night, I didn't want him on the bed because I wanted to relax and stretch my legs and I was hot but he kept insisting on wanting to jump on the bed. I'd tell him in a very strict voice, "NO. OFF." but it wasn't working. After we turned off the lights, he sat next to me on the edge of the bed and stared at me and kept rubbing his nose on my hand [his way of asking to get on the bed] but I seriously don't want him on the bed anymore! Plus, he leaves a lot of dog hair on it! I'm tired of it! Plus, I know it's something that's gonna have to change once the baby gets here so I'm trying to start now...

Anybody know an easy way to do this? He's so used to sleeping in our room ON our bed. But that's going to have to change soon and for when the baby arrives. I know if we kick him out of the room, he'd pee or poop in retaliation if we leave him in the living room or hallway. And if we lock him up in the kennel, he'd bark all night. *sigh* I feel so evil... like a BAD MOTHER for wanting to do this but... it can't go on. We plan to go to Petco today and buy him his own  bed and start off that way... any other tips, pet owners out there?
