Furry friend...

Josh loves to play the piano, he stands there for up to 10 minutes playing sometimes, and that's a LONG time for him to do any one thing. He is usually more like a little hummingbird, quickly flitting from one toy to the next.

Today, Happy joined him at the piano and listened to his excellent playing. Every few minutes Happy would lick the spit bubbles from Joshua's chin. Now, that's a great friend!

Life is wonderfully boring...

After all the hubbub around here lately, boring is awesome! I did get glutened at a restaurant on Saturday night and I felt pretty cruddy all day yesterday though. I'll take that kind of stuff over hospitals and surgeries though.

Tiffany starts working with Joshua tomorrow!!! We are pretty darn excited it, and that's an understatement. :-)
Joshua has such an aversion to strangers right now. I am planning to just have her with us doing what we normally do: therapy, co-op, shopping, park, watching tv, ect...until he gets used to her being around all the time and they make friends, before I leave them alone togethe, except to be in other parts of the house. It probably won't take too long, but I just want to make sure he's comfortable with her and her with him. I think Joshua's very easy, but then I can read his mind because I'm mama, so I do have an advantage.

It's so nice that the weather is actually cool enough for Joshua to be sitting outside with his dad. Kevin is making a birdhouse in the garage, and Joshua seems to like to watch him do stuff like that. I guess it's the tools...boys do like tools.

our golden doodle, Happy, is not so very happy with his new haircut. Poor guy just mopes around; he used to be smiling all the time, but not now. He is feeling naked and vulnerable and humiliated I think. I don't know what to do to make him feel better either. Poor guy!

Well off to tackle the toy room! I am cleaning toys and replacing batteries. We always need batteries. Joshua only likes toys that he can chew on, or that have lights and music.

Love one another!~Yvonne

Naked dogs and a Joshua update...

Henry before:



This is what happens to your dogs when you can't afford to have them groomed because your hubby is off of work with his back. They get so tangled and matted that they must be shaved bald! Poor Hubby and poor doggies! Happy, our golden doodle, was sportin' a shaggy dog look, now it's more greyhound I think, or maybe naked mole rat? Henry the bichon doesn't look too much different I guess, but the beard has to go!

Naked dogs; quite the sight to wake up to. It's strange to think that if Happy was lost and someone shaved him like that, I would not know him if I saw him. Joshua doesn't quite know what to think of his dog yet. His favorite thing about Happy was all of his shaggy hair that he could tangle his fingers into and get big handfuls to put in his mouth! I'm thinkin' that won't be happening again for a very long time. Maybe Christmas?

Joshua is not quite as grumpy as before, but he is still yelling at me. I have tried giving him advil, but it doesn't help. Caylee did remind me that the last time he was really sick it took a while for him to get back to himself, we were saying; "Where did our happy little boy go?" He did come back though!
