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*

That's what I tell him when he's getting spoiled. I uploaded some pics to my flickr account today. The first 8 playing are the pics I took today... here's a big fat dose of Bo' Love for you! =) btw, he's feeling better... and Sumo's happy to be home now! Yayyy....  

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

When I'm on the PC, BoLeo comes to me, pats me on the lap and pretty much asks me to pick him up to sit him on my lap. So when I'm on the pc blogging and stuff, most of the time he's on my lap sleeping... He must be like, "If you're not gonna pay attention to me, then let me be close to you at least!" Poor guy...

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?

I found this site called Pikipimp.com  via photojojo.com

Check it out and pimp yourself in the Christmas spirit.

Hubby forwarded this email to me this morning. It made me giggle. I thought I'd share it with you guys too and I hope it makes you smile as well! =)

 

PET RULES

To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.

Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.  Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed.  I am very sorry about this.  Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.  It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible.  I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom.  If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open.  I must exit through the same door I entered.  Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not required.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here.  You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal.  To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
