Little Shop of Horrors

My phone rings.

Her:  Hi, this is Affordable Pet Grooming, we have a problem with your pug.

Me:  Okay, what's the problem?

Her:  Well, we had three pugs here today and we got them mixed up.

Me:  Okay?

Her:  We accidentally shaved your pug.

Me:  You shaved her?  Who shaves their pug!?

Her:  So um, well, we're not going to charge you okay?

Me:  That's fine, thank you.

After finishing up our errands we pick Sassy up and head home.  Everything seems okay with her until Lane notices blood on the floor.  Lots and LOTS of blood.  E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E.  It was all over the wood floors in the kitchen, spots on our living room carpet and down the hall.

We scooped her up to figure out what was going on, they had trimmed two of her nails so short that they were bleeding badly.  Now if you have a dog and have ever done this by accident, you know that they bleed for a long time and there's really nothing you can do to stop it.  So, the poor thing was stuck in the bathroom all day yesterday. 

6 Months

Look who's 6 months old today.

 I swear I blinked and half a year went by. 

Snuffles

Evalyn has a cold.  Stuffy nose, cough and a serious attitude about it.  The poor thing gets mad when she tries to suck on her binki or fingers because she can't breathe.  And for the first time since she was less than 2 months old she didn't sleep through the night on Saturday.  But you can't be mad at her when she looks like this can you?

Bug and a Pug

Happy Halloween!

Sassy dressed as a pig for Halloween this year.

Cutest ladybug I've ever seen!

Happy Birthday Lane!

This post is a bit late, but this cake is to awesome not to share. 

P.S. I did not make this cake. I wish I knew how. 

Firsts

Our front porch has been lacking one very important fall decoration, pumpkins.  So to remedy such an oversite we headed to Black Island Farms in Syracuse for a hayride and pumpkin picking. 

At Evalyn's four month appointment her pediatrician suggested that our little munchkin was ready to try cereal.  Aparently some of the signs that a babe is ready are; the ability to hold up their head without wobbling, strong push-ups when on their belly, putting things in her mouth, and an interest in what Mom and Dad are doing when eating, just to name a few.  She exhibited all of those except the interest in what we were eating  - until last week. 

She's still so young that I didn't think she'd like it or want much to do with it, but, we decided to give cereal a shot anyway.  Below, the result.  She L-O-V-E-D her first experience with cereal.  This is my new favorite photo.

Oh, hello there blog. Nice to see you again.

A few photos of what we've been up to the last few weeks.  First, Daddy and Evalyn hangin out in the garage.  I'm thinking off-roading is in her future.

In a cute little flower outfit that was given to her by a co-worker of mine. Darling I must say.

Getting ready to go jogging in the BOB for the first time.  She did great, fell asleep about a mile in to the adventure and didn't wake up until we got home.

Halloween here we come.

Testing out her new chair.  She LOVES to sit up.

And finally, this was snapped today at her four month check-up.  She weighed in at 10lbs 4oz, 23 in long.  Growing at her own pace and hitting all of her milestones, her latest trick rolling over.
