For once, i had an AWESOME weekend. usually there is some catch, something manages to screw it up, but not this weekend. Sure, Lily threw some fits, but she is 3 (and very independant) and she has doen worse. Bree and I snapped at each other a few times, but we've always been like that. But:
I spent the afternoon yesterday with Lily, just the two of us. I lovehanging out with that kid, she is a riot. She has that 3 year old innocence, but she is easily smarter than the average 5 or 6 year old, so the crap she notices is amazing, and often REALLy funny.
As I have spammed many other threads with, i saw Punisher War Zone last night and LOVED it.
The best part, though, is named Barbara. Dont worry, I havent turned into a douche who screws around on his wife. No, Bree has been jonesing for a while now (3 months I would say) for another dog. Not that there is anythign wrong with Willow, she's not much more than a puppy herself (just over 2 human years old), but Bree grew up with 2 dogs and she has been dying for another.
She found one named Barbara the other day, a 1 year old Lab/pointer mix that was found as a stray. She took Lily to the shelter to meet her, and kept going on about how much she was like our Willow. I was sold on that, but we went through the paces. I met her, then we brought in willow to meet her to see how they got along.
Long story short, Barabara is an AWESOME dog and is already learning her name (shed only had it a few days when we got her, but Lily knows her as Barabar so we kept it), she has already learned to let me know she has to go to the bathroom, and she has gotten over her inital fear that when we told her she could get on the couch, we were going to beat her mercilessly for doing so (she is very meek right now. She was either a stray her whole life, which is doubtful because she already knew 'Sit', or someone treated her horribly)
