No Biting!!

During this week my two youngest children have been at home for their Fall Break. Finn and Izzy are very happy that the children are home so that they can play with them. The puppies are learning not to bite when they are excited. When we walk in the house, the puppies come running.They jump up to lick us and crawl all over us if we sit down. The only problem is when they are so excited and they are licking us, they don't remember to not bite us like they do the other dogs.

When they bite we flick them on the nose and say; "No Bite!" You must remember to say it in a stern tone of voice. Matthew has a problem of laughing when they bite him at first, so Finn and Izzy keep doing it. Then when they bite hard, he gets mad at them and doesn't want to play anymore. Poor Finn and Izzy. They get so confused with the mixed signals. Becca is much better, excpet when Finn is standing on her back pulling on her hair. Hopefully, We all will get better at teaching Finn and Izzy NOT to BITE!!

My Fat Boy Finn

Finn was being a crazy fat boy today. He kept running back and forth across the house, then rolling around on the couch.  I call him my fat boy, because his tummy is so fat after he eats like a Budda statue.  His sister Izzy never gets that fat. Every time I call him Fat Boy, I think about the movie Alice in Wonderland, where the red queen calls for her Fat Boys.  Finn's mom is Angelina or Angie as I call her. She is a brindle pied frenchie. That means that she is white with brindle(brown and black) spots. She also has angel wings on her back.  Some people call it a saddle, but I think that it is wings. 

This is Angelina.  My angel baby.

Keeping My Promise

I am sitting in my room at Wilderness at the Smokies. I am in this room with 4 teenagers. At this moment all of them are out at the WaterDome. I am sitting here doing homework and studying for a Midterm test. I am keeping my promise to bring my kids here.  We were supposed to come here at the beginning of the summer, but I was working and not able to take off. So we are spending the night in this lovely hotel and playing in the water tomorrow. We are also ordering room service for the first time.

Working Weekend

This has been a working weekend for my family.  On Friday we ripped up the floor in the bedroom in our rental property. Saturday we finished that floor and started on the ceiling in the living room. Today we are working on the floor in the living room.  It is not finished, but the family that is renting it is very understanding.
They have been there for almost 2 years and understand that any major problems get fixed as soon as I can.
After the floor in the living room we are finished.

Matthew's Birthday

Well my youngest turns 13 years old on Monday.  Today I gave him one of his presents. He got a Wii. We went to McKays used books in Knoxville,  so that we could pick out a few games. He is going to the Tennessee Valley Fair tomorrow with his friends. I have to work at the theater today and Sunday. Hope that he has a great birthday.

My Frenchie Babies are 12 weeks today!!

 

This is my baby Finn. He is a blue brindle Frenchie.

 

This is baby girl Izzy. She is a black brindle Frenchie.

 

 

Today they are 12 weeks old!!   When I come home and take off my shoes, they are waiting to bite my toes.  If my daughter leaves her bedrrom door open, they will sneak in and steal whatever is on the floor.  Wednesday, I saw them dragging out her shoes and last week it was her sock and bra. Then you see her running after them and yelling at them to stop. It is so funny!!  When I was doing my home work yesterday, I had both laying next to me. Izzy kept trying to lick my face. Finn kept trying to bite my fingers and ear. The photos above were very hard to take, because they only stay still if they are asleep.

 

 

 

 

 

Just incase the other blog post did not count I am posting again.  I am sitting here at home eating my fresh made meatloaf and working on my home work.  I am not a big fan of going to see fireworks, so I will not be going to Boomsday in Knoxville.  My son came home for the weekend from MTSU. He rook my daughter to the movies.  Well, that is what is happening today in my family. See all of you in class.
