Dog Park

October 1st...

It's crazy to think it's already October! This has been a busy year for us and it just flew by. i'm kinda excited for the holiday's this year, cause i'm interested to see what they do for them around La Mesa and San Diego. We missed the car show they do in La Mesa over the summer cause we just kept forgetting to go, so I want to make sure to check out October fest at the village!
On another note today is payday, meaning I have the car so I can run around with many things to get done. And all I want to do is go to the beach with the dogs!! I know they wouldn't mind ha I have pictures from the dog park the other day I need to put up, i'll try to get around to that tonight....

One step back

I've been doing so good with my back lately so I thought that ment I was finally getting better. Yesterday after I did my stretches I was hurting and had a hard time sleeping because of it. Just a little bit ago I went to put the dogs in there cage, I was bent over just slightly [[knees bent of course]] and it felt like something slipped and is pinching my nervous... uhhh i'm so pissed!!! I layed down and started doing some stretches, but nothing is working =[ I hate this I thought I was over all this pain. I liked having the use of my left leg, things better get better cause this is making me depressed.

Fruit Fly's

I can't get rid of these things!! We've had them for awhile now and I can't get them to go away. I make sure to throw fruit out as soon as possible as well as meats... anything they would be attracted to really. I found this do-it-yourself concoction to get rid of them and everyone that had tried it said it worked right away. So while I was making this.. thing... the fruit fly's started attracting to it immediatly. When I finished and set up the "trap" about 10 fruit fly's were swarming around it. Well apparently we have the smart fruit fly's because they wouldn't go into it!! I put it up last night and so far only 1 has gone in. If anyone knows of any other way's to get rid of these pesky things please let me know, I am taking an advice.

Pasta! oh so full...

Tonight's dinner menu was steak for Frank, then salad and pasta.. lots of salad for me since I had nothing else. Anyways I tried this recipe from my favorite cookbook, I know you all must know which one that is ha 'In the Kitchen THE COSTCO WAY'. It turned out good! Which I was very happy about since the other few times i'd tried making pasta it turned out like crap. I was very happy when this was good. It was kinda rich though so we didn't eat much of..oh well ha. Anyways you can go here to see a picture of it then here for the recipe.

More Pictures!!

This was right after Molly got her bath, Ellie was laying in the tub getting all clean =]

After they get a bath they go CRAZY!! It's really weird ha

I couldn't believe Ellie closed her eyes!! I guess she didn't want a picture.

We're so nice, we put the treats infront of them but they can't get to them.

Sitting pretty!

This has to be THE BEST picture ever ha Molly the flying dog.

JUMP! JUMP!

Ellie was just standing there pretty much the whole time on her back legs

Ellie doing what she does best... shake...

Now if only Molly would shake! Ellie was shaking my hand while I was shaking Molly's ha

If you look at there paws, they have treats on them. They are doing "leave".

Ellie doing roll over.

I thought i'd share a picture of Molly and Ellie in bed with Frank. They get to lay in bed for about an hour at night with Frank and then a couple of hours in the morning with me, it's there favorite time of day! ha Normally they don't get to lay under the covers, but Molly like's to move the covers and make her way under. And this night Ellie for once decided to join her. It was a snapshot moment =}
