Kosmo..You are NO UNO!!!

Kosmo, You are NOOOOOOOO UNO (the first beagle to win best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club)!! You are Perhaps an ill mannered MUTT!!

But we love you! You know it seems as if everyone in the neighborhood and every other

speaking being KNEW that BEAGLES WERE....WELL...BEAGLES!! (every one knew but us..)

Now, we love are beagle..(to much maybe..) but boy oh boy......alot of choice words ..(mainly the stuff you can't say when kids around) went into this dog.....But you know..when I thought I was getting a Beagle I thought I was getting Snoopy!! (Why did he seem so calm in the cartoon strip? (Was Charlie Brown In denial? or Was Charlie too calm and Snoopy had to express himself?)

the running off..(not so bad anymore...but he still IS right there when you open the door..you have to be fast like a Kung-fu Master guarding the gates of the Shaolin Temple when leaving the house)

digging out my stuffing and throwing it everywhere..(really does not bother me so much)

Acting like the block captian..MEANING NO ONE CAN WALK PAST OUR HOUSE WITH OUT HIM GOING NUTS..AND THAT INCLUDES ACROSS The STREET..("he has little man syndrome") Kinda reminds me of the troll watching over the bridge, except this all takes place behind a window with a growl that has not bite(DEBATABLE)

Chasing down the kids and playing ROUGH!! (THE NASTY lil booger!!)

tearing up antique shoes..(ones I wanted to use for a dollie..whew, at least I salvaged 1!!)

The claw marks on the door and floor..(Well, Thank God he only goes outside to go potty now!!)

Not much leg room at the bottom of the Bed...(he keeps my feet warm)

All of the Torn up toys from the kids..mostly he will decapitate action hero figures..(that is ok, I am sure they were made from deadly plastic that was imported....)..(I think his digestive system can handle it...he is still here...)

But I must admit, picking up his doo-doo- is remincent of an Easter Egg Hunt with all of the Multi-colors from eating crayons and platic toys.

BUT WHEN YOU TAKE MY MONEY AND RUN!! (didn't the Steve Miller Band have a Song like that???)) wooo--hoooo.....take the money and run....

He ate half of a bar of soap yesterday..so I am sure that cleaned out his system! We have had him now for over a year. Today Hubby checked out a book from the library..and the EXACT QUOTE ABOUT A BEAGLE IS..."Happy, lovable, NAUGHTY little dog that probably shouldn't be kept as a pet, but often is.

Faults: INCLUDE...DESTRUCTIVENESS, DISOBEDIENCE, AND TAKING OFF!!

HOWEVER..I COULD NOT IMAGINE MY LIFE WITH OUT HIM...

LOVE YOU MY LIL

I'm Dreaming of a WHITE Summer.......

Wow! With the heat index reaching 112 the other day it left me longing for Snow, Ice and bitter Wind Chill(these pics are from last winter)! On the upside, Grandam has been making fresh squeezeed lemonade to help quench our thirst. (Gotta LOVE GRANDMAS!!)

The kids are back from Nana's. They were the ones calling and begging me to come GET them which took me by suprise, I really thought it would be my mom at her wits ends calling me to come get the kids.

School starts one week from tomorrow. The count down is on!

Notebooks..check

Lunch boxes...check

Pencils (#2 of course) Check.....

Snow Days!!

Here in the midwest we briefly got blasted with snow~~and the kids did not have school on Monday, they were just thrilled. Kosmo really loved the snow and Sophia got a chilly nose. Unfortunately the snow is melting now and it is just getting muddy out..ugh...but what a serene moment while it lasted. Patiently waiting for more snow, I am dreaming of a white Christmas!

I did not even know I was Expecting!!

I did not even know I was expecting..I mean, I knew I was gaining weight and I was tired and had severe mood swings, but HONESTLY I did not know. My nights have been filled with getting up in the middle of the night because of crying. A baby that wants to be held, first shots and who can forget all of that poop!!
So, how did the baby come about? Well, it went a little something like this.. I was having some pains. Like I needed something more in life so I went to the store and got a local paper and there it was beagle pups 6 weeks old..
With out further ado, here is my new baby, he is a little hairy and has 4 legs ...Meet Kosmo (named after Krammer in Seinfield)
My big question is now, when will I lose the baby weight?
A new mommy,
Heidi
