The Bike Has Arrived

Remember THIS and THIS awesome story about me winning a bike.

Well yesterday this big truck showed up in front of my house!

Inside was this really big box
I couldn't open it up fast enough


 Charlie and I love this new bike. I wrapped Charlie in a blanket so he would stay warm, but he squirmed out of it.

Jack even wanted to go for a ride.  I also made Paul (my husband) take Charlie and me for a ride. What a comfortable trip I think I will make Paul take me around all the time.


Madsen Cycles designed this awesome middle seat insert so that Charlie wont fall down in the bucket. Isn't that so thoughtful and awesome?
Charlie loves his new bike- he likes to just sit in the back when the bike is in the house. Isn't that funny?  He even growls at Jack when Jack gets near it cause Charlie knows it is his bike.
Thank You Madsen Cycles! We are so happy. I will add more photos soon.

Pets are Just Like People

 I found this at the NY Daily News and loved it. It is found HEREOur pets seems to become more like people everyday.  Here we've captured photos of pets doing all sorts of things that people do from marathon running to scuba diving ...

Meta Penca, a 29-year-old web programmer was the lucky zoo visitor who managed to catch this peaceful bear's morning routine on film. The female brown bear reportedly spent 15 minutes doing a series of poses that seemed quite familiar to a yoga practitioner.

'She held her legs with her hands for a minute or two in a V position and then put them down and relaxed,' Penca told the Guardian.

Also I really like this one
Hey, it's hot out there, we can't blame a pup for wanting a cone! Luckily this Doggy Ice Cream truck is K9-friendly and is certain to make tails wag.

and this one
This 3 month old Tamworth piglet is a pro when it comes to swimming ...


and obviously these Are we at the circus? Nope, it's just the cutest attraction at the Cannes Film Festival. This adorable pup scoots around town like a pro!


Somewhere ... beyond the sea ...  Mondex, a 5-year-old Chihuahua, was posing for a fashion show here, but looks like he's ready for an aquatic adventure a la Jacques Cousteau!On a cold January day in Manhattan, Cliff, a miniature pinscher, was smart enough to dress warmer than most humans.

Please Bless This Never Happens To Me

Today I was sitiing in class and my friend emailed me this.  I started laughing out loud-I should not have read it during class. Please read this story.  This dog looks to close to Charlie and if he did this I would die a thousand deaths.

 Dog Breaks Free on Airplane and Goes on Biting Rampage
First there was Steven Slater, the flight attendant who used an inflatable slide for his job walk-off. Now, the Steven Slater of dogs: a 12-pound Manchester terrier named Mandy who escaped her cage mid-air and went on a biting rampage.
Mandy was on a U.S. Airways flight from Phoenix to Newark when her sedatives wore off. Her owner's seatmate tried to soothe her, causing Mandy to fly into a rage: She broke free of her cage, bit the strange soothsayer, then raced up and down the aisle, eventually biting a flight attendant, causing the pilot to take an emergency landing in Pittsburgh "in the interest of safety."
That's nothing. I once rode an airplane with a class of adolescent boys who went on penis-punching rampage. Since they punched only one another, however, the flight carried on with only one warning from the pilot and a lot of passive-aggressive sighing from onlookers. If only you could stow children in little cases underneath the seat in front of you. [NYP, Image of non-violent Manchester terrier via dodsports' Flickr]

December First

This min-pin looks so cute dressed as Santa. I want to buy one of these outfits and torture Charlie with one. Too cute.
photo found HERE

PS. I have been feeling really stressed out with school and have been feeling a bit "off".  I hope I don't have any problems during finals.  I know stress and lack of sleep are huge triggers for my seizures so I guess I need to go get a massage or something fun. Oh and my bike has been shipped so hopefully by next week sometime we will have our new bike.
