Chewie Update

We have had Chewie a little over two weeks now. He had his first Doctors visit and all went well. Ted took him as I was at work. Ted made an appointment for Chewie to have the grand snip in December or January...Merry Christmas Chewie?

Chewie has been able to go up stairs since about the third day we had him...but until this morning couldn't go down the stairs. This new development means the addition of another puppy gate to the stairs going down to our front door. I think Chewie may think his name is "NO!" as he is living up to his name and chewing on most anything left on the floor. Which isn't so bad when you pick things up. But as Ted is going to find out when he gets home from work, leaving your prized turkey butt feathers on the floor makes for a wonderful toy for Chewie. Just hope we still have a dog when Ted gets home.

Feeling blue ):

I am feeling a bit blue today, this schedule difference between Ted and I is really getting to me. I feel a bit more like a maid and cook than a wife. I am sure it is because I clean up during the day, make sure a meal is on the counter for Ted when he gets home, etc. It wouldn't be so bad if I actually got to spend some time with him, but I don't.

When we are home together, our schedules are still opposites. I don't feel like a priority. I'm not sure what to do.

Great picture of Ted and I.

Ted's friend from work took this picture of us. It was taken during a joint reception with two other couples from Ted's work. One couple got married on the same day we did and the other couple got married the first saturday of August.

Back in the Swing of things!

I haven't blogged in quite some time as I have been sick and with the new addition to our family, busy! Yes, Ted and I now have a sweet and adorable puppy! He is a Shitzu/Poodle mix otherwise known as a ShihPoo. I have pictures but haven't been able to get them on the computer yet. His name is Chewbacca, we call him "Chewie". He is adorable and worth every bit of it.

It is really fun to watch big 6'7 Ted with this little 5 lb puppy. I love it as I now have something to come home to and something to mother! Will get pictures up as soon as I can.

I went to the Optometrist a week ago. I have been having horrible headaches, which seemed to be vision related. The news from the Optometrist is eyestrain. I continue to have good eyesight at about 20/25, but with being at a computer most of the day and being under fluorescent lights, my eyes are suffering. So he prescribed reading/computer glasses for me. However the prescription is so little that I can't buy any over the counter as the lowest level of reading glasses OTC are +1.00. I need +0.50, so I had to pay $112 for glasses that are UV and Glare protected. Oh well!

Finally over my cold...I hope!

Endnote: Chewie is able to fit in Ted's work shoes. Not sure why anyone would want to smell Ted's work shoes, but Chewie sure does think they are great!
