Funnyyyy Kerbey Video :)

Today the weather was BEAUTIFUL here...for the first time in a LONG time! So...I took full advantage of the fact that I am taking the week off from work and sat on the front porch in the SUN and read a REALLY GOOD book. I tied Kerbey to a tree right by me and let her play...she LOVES being in the sun, but rarely gets a chance to do it! Well, in the middle of being lost in Novel-land, Kerbey's whimpers jarred my attention. I looked up and noticed that she had managed to completely tangle her legs up in the leash that was keeping her tied to the tree and she was having a ROUGH time trying to free herself. This video chronicles only 1 of approximately 7 incidences of Kerbey getting all twisted up! I thought it was hilar. (which you can tell from my obnoxious laughter in the background of the video. In fact...so obnoxious that you might want to turn off the sound before you watch!)

P.S. I promise I'm not mean! It was just...reaaalllllly funny at the time!

"Good Morning, Mom" Love, Kerbey

Yes, that's right. This morning I got Kerbey out of bed (she slept straight through the whole entire night...AMAZING!!) to take her to go potty outside. Usually when I pick her up in the mornings she is a S.P.A.Z. This morning, however, she laid against me, barely moved, and stared at me with this sad, worried expression on her little face. I thought it was positively adorable... until suddenly... I felt a warm, wet sensation on my leg and couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. Then, I caught a wiff of the nasty little odor and that's when I knew. My super cute little pup had urinated on my PJs!!! Instead of her morning ritual of licking my face off, she peed on me! SICK. I didn't get mad though...because I could tell she was trying SO hard to hold it hahaha. The poor little thing just couldn't control herself. What a way to start the day, eh?

In other news, Brian and I are trying to tell my 2001 black Honda Civic (in GREAT condition, I might add!) If anyone happens to randomly know of anyone in the world who might be interested, shoot me a line, k? K. Grac. :)

Poor Kerbs!! :(

So my poor little Kerbey is sick!!! I woke up last night to this terrible hacking cough coming from the living room... and it was Kerbs! She sounds like she is gagging on something...she just coughs incessantly for a few minutes...but then in between her coughing bouts she is totally normal... Playful. Energetic. Super Hungry. Poopy.

So anyway...I've been googling all morning, and I have diagnosed her with "Kennel Cough", which I think she got (ironically) from the VET!!! grrr... When we went last week there was a nasty mangy looking dog who was basically coughing up a lung the whole time. I tried to keep Kerbey away from him, but he was in the waiting room. There was no way to hide her from his nasty little germs. EW!

I'm not taking her to the vet yet... instead, I'm proceeding with a more... holistic approach.

A few different herbs and some honey will HOPEFULLY do the trick and save us from a third vet visit in as many weeks! We'll see how it pans out :)

Does this count as being a "mom" ? ;)
