On Tuesday it hit me that perhaps dogs aren't unlike children in most ways and that maybe Harry's problem was the same thing that usually gets Alex in trouble: I'm not paying enough attention to him. So instead of shutting him in the garage and playing the mean bad asses routine, I decided to just play with him and see what happened. Alex has t-ball "camp" this week for an hour every day at the park and I've been bringing the dog along where children fawn all over him and he gets to play fetch until he drops.
It's totally working.
By the end of the day, he's too tired to crap on the floor. Can I get an amen?
I've been trying lately to get a picture of BOTH of my children in the same photo at the SAME TIME. It's a lot harder than you'd think, but this was my best shot of them at the park yesterday.
This is completely unrelated to anything, but here's a partial List of Things to Which I'm Totally Addicted:
- SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance?) (Suck it, Dave)
- Weeds (I just watched the last two seasons on DVD, basically in one sitting)
- Finishing the Lonesome Dove series so I can watch it on DVD when they re-release it in August
- Tigi hair goop, the most expensive I've ever bought, but worth it
- Mother's Oatmeal cookies
- Wyder's Pear Cider (I have one every day at 5PM, like clockwork)
- Sleeping in until 8AM every day
Hi Girl!! :) That is the CUTEST picture of Harry!! It totally cracked me up!! LOL!

Your kids are adorable! Also, I am totally addicted to SYTYCD. I heart it so much. I also love Weeds. But I don't like pear cider. Something in my brain is not right and it tastes like soap to me.

Great picture. What does pear cider taste like, and how much alcohol does it have in it? I have almost zero tolerance for alcohol, 1/2 a glass of wine, and I wake up with a horrible hangover.

On the topic of hair products. When my hair was curly I LOVED the Biolage Curl Defining Cream. It makes the curls soft and bouncy and above all NOT sticky. At the end of the day my man could still run his fingers through it. Super important =)

Beautiful photos, as always :)
Glad to hear the pooch is "healthy, happy and balanced" again, as cesar would put it.
I'm totally addicted to SYTYCD too! I watch it on my DVR on thursdays, so i can fast forward through the crap and get instant voting-gratification.
I cant wait to see those two in a few weeks! OMG!
