It's snowing again today. Yayy! BUT, it's been really warm the last few days so nothing is sticking. Which also means that I'm at work. Boooo! It's supposed to snow more tonight but I don't think it will amount to anything, as usual.

The baby has been moving around like crazy ever since I first felt him. It's very wild!

So we've decided it's time for Lucy to get a personal trainer...Okay, not a personal trainer, but you know what I mean. We are "interviewing" some in-home trainers this week to come evaluate our crazy pooch to decide if they can come train her and more importantly, US! We've decided that there are a few behavioral issues that we need to nip in the bud before this baby comes because, unlike some families that can easily get rid of their dogs once they have kids and decide they don't have time for the pets anymore, the members of our family are here to stay, no if's, and's or but's about it.

I know that any issues we have with Lucy are really our fault. I mean, she's no monster, she's just a very big dog who doesn't know her own strength and she likes to jump on people and we can't have that. She also likes to listen to us when she feels like it, which is very frustrating. She is so smart and willing to learn, I mean, she knows how to give us high five's, but we have just been very negligent in teaching her some of the more important things, like stay and heal...

It is quite clear to us that once we lost our little Nola and got Lucy we spoiled her beyond belief. We were not diligent about training and obedience, we basically did the opposite of all the good, hard work we put into Nola's good behavior with Lucy. I'm sure it was a mixture of guilt and sadness and just plain stupidity on our parts, but now it's coming back to bite us in the arse. Time to buckle up and show the true ruler of our home, Lucy, some tough love. I'll keep you all updated on our progress.

Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!
