Look Ma...I Dressed Myself

Yes, we are in the dressing ourselves phase. Every day the Gremlin has to pick out her own clothes and put them on herself. She is very in to layering and frequently has on multiple tops and bottoms. This morning we wore a onesie, a long sleeved button up shirt, a pair of pants, a pair of shorts and a skirt. Then we put a sweater jacket on top of that.

Most nights for bed we have to wear PJs and a skirt or pair of shorts. Thankfully, it is getting cooler out, so the poor thing is not sweating to death.

While this might not sound like a big deal, it is. I have a hard time letting go of things and allowing her to pick out her own mismatched clothing is very difficult. But it makes her happy, so... this is what we end up with.




Aside from dressing ourselves, the Gremlin has also been perfecting her kissing form...on a goat. She fell in love with a 4-day-old goat at the farmers' market this weekend and bent over to give him a kiss on the lips, multiple times. I know, who's the idiot who let her get close enough after the first time? So if she starts eating tin cans and grass, we'll know why.

And of course 2.0 is his normal wonderful self. He is ready to crawl, getting up on all fours all the time and rocking back and forth. I expect him to take off any day now. Add to that the fifth and sixth teeth his is cutting, and our sleep patterns have been a little off the past few days. But I'll take a crabby 2.0 any day.

    What bad could possibly come from kissing a goat??? Love 2.0's shirt! He looks quite dapper.

    If you would be interested in knowing . . . the Catholic Dogma . . . that we *must believe* to get to Heaven . . .
    I list it on my website . . .

    God knows what we think and believe . . .

    "For I know their thoughts, and what they are about to do this day."

Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs

I believe 100% that the universe (or God or Allah or whatever you think helps us be part of more than ourselves) sends us signs. They can be very subtle, more like a light wind than a burning bush. Or they can be so overt we feel foolish for not heeding them. Lately, I've had the fire department on speed dial with all the burning bushes in my life. In the past three weeks, I've gotten multiple signs about multiple items in my life. There was the nightmare about an inoperable brain tumor that made it clear I need to talk to someone about a problem I was having with them. There was the conversation with my sister about husky rescues and rain that resulted in rain for the first time in weeks and a potential adoption opportunity (no, we did not get another husky, much to my dismay). There was the person who walked past my house five days in a row with a literal sign on  before I realized I hadn't gone outside in five days. And now, another one just happened and I can't igno...

The Furlin Wall

Let me start by saying, no, I am not crazy. I really wanted a dog and didn't want to wait until my then-13-year-old cat went to the "final litter box in the sky." I had heard all the warnings about cats and dogs in the same house and I knew that my elderly, hyper-sensitive cat would not be too pleased with this development, but I am the human and I get to make the decisions. So a year ago I got a puppy. A Siberian Husky to be exact. This blog is dedicated to the adventures of life with the two of them. _________________________________________________________________________________ My husband believes that the cat is coddled and just needs to get over it. I, on the other hand, believe the cat might have a few good reasons to be afraid of this large, furry beast with enormous teeth and a tongue that drips rain drops of slobber down onto her toys. So we bought a doggie gate to create a "cat safe" zone. My husband affectionately refers to this gate as the Fur...

Wouldn't Trade It for the World

I wish I had a way of recording life as it was happening. I wanted to preserve the memory of what happened that badly, so I am writing it here to remember forever... I'll give you a little back story first. The Gremlin woke up around 5:15 or so and cried out for a few minutes. It was an odd cry. It was not her "I'm hungry" cry or a simple "I woke up and didn't want to" cry. This was more of a "I am scared, help me" sound. But she fell back asleep, so I figured it was just a bad dream and now it was done. 2.0 woke up at 6:15, so I went in to feed him. And when I got to his door, the Gremlin started crying out again. And didn't stop. My husband has to leave for work at 6:45, so there was no way he was going to be able to help out. I was on my own. So after I finished feeding 2.0, I went into the Gremlin's room. This is when I wanted the filming to start. I walked in and saw something that just broke my heart. The Gremlin was sittin...
