I'm still home this morning and we are watching the Olympic Opening ceremonies. Kristen has a dentist appointment at 10:00 so we have to get moving soon. Then I head to work and later this afternoon I have to go and pick up my new car. Eeeek! :-) No plans for tonight.

Hmmmm... Fairly easy day today. I mailed care packages this morning so the kids get them at camp next week. Dh is taking Megan to the movies this afternoon and I'm trying to get the family calendar updated - need to add end of summer activities and school dates for this coming school year. This afternoon I'll go to the health club while the gang is at the movies, then we'll have dinner and watch the opening ceremonies. Somewhere in there Megan needs to pack for camp and I need to do her laundry so she can.

That's about it. Not much really...

Well, we got a new mini-Dachshund puppy last night!


Chrystal (we think it's a girl) is cute; she's very easy-going & doesn't need a huge amount of attention.

Thanks to Kelly (mom2emsopmax) for my beautiful siggy! Photobucket

When do you go back to work? I like this site for puppy info.

http://www.phsspca.org/training/puppy_raising.htm

Have you been to iVillage's pet messageboards at all?

I was the kid who always wanted a dog and never got one until
in her 40s.

We adopted a retriever mix older puppy from the pound.

I can't remember if I gave you the other two dog boards
or not.

We have dogs & puppies

http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ptdogs

and dog training and behavior

http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-ptbasic

and I notice they are already talking about a puppy that won't stay
in his crate at the training and behavior board.
