Good Ol' June Bug

As many of you know, June is my 2.5 year old chocolate lab.  Despite that she lives with a smart dog, June just can't keep up with Mandy, my 6 year old black lab. 

This is Juney:

Here she is just relaxing.








This is more of June is really like in real life:

    






As you should be able to tell from these pictures, she is our special child.

My parents have given us their shock collars and we thought it would be a good idea to train the dogs so that we can let them out to do their business without a leash.

Let me just say that day 1 was a total disaster!  Poor June just can't seem to get the hang of this, so we'll continue to try with her.

She would not even go outside for the rest of the day.  More updates to come as the situation progresses.

Looking forward to the New Year

I am such a cynic.  Actually more of a realist, but that is neither here nor there.  I cannot believe that I am looking forward to the new year.  I feel some excitement about "starting over" and making some resolutions, getting things together in my life, and having a nice time doing it.

I'll probably be over this lovely haze in a few more weeks, but for now, I am feeling inspired to be a better person in 2012.   This morning I went onto Etsy.com and purchased a set of organization materials from http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/.  This is what I am getting exactly: http://www.etsy.com/listing/79924327/personalized-household-binder-everything

I really like this chick's style and hope that it will mesh well with mine.  I think she is way ahead of me in the organizational enjoyment section of her life, but I do find a lot of her ideas inspiring.

I hope that you have a Happy New Year and I'll be in touch soon!
