Diggy Boy

Some months ago, I decided to cut Diggy's hair. I was thinking that his haircut costs more than any of our family members', so I thought it would be a good idea to cut his hair by myself and save a few buckaroes. Of course, I bought the hairclip machine, and went ahead and tried to cut it. But it wouldn't go in! His hair was so thick, or my patience so thin, that that didn't work out. SO, not deterred by this minor inconvenience, I got my handy dandy scissors, and off I went to cut his hair...




This was a DISASTER! Poor Diggy Boy looked soooo bad, and on top of it, he looked ashamed! I swear, he had this horribible look of degradation, I felt so bad. So, I let his hair grow, and I took him to the groomers, after all. And this is him afterwards...











Now, two days after this haircut, he was SHIVERING! Everytime I saw him, he was shaking, the poor little thing! He'd get on the couch, shake, in his kennel, shake. So, against my better judgement, Cesar and I went to get him a shirt or a sweter or something, I felt so bad for him! And we got a "hoody" that is the cutest thing, and a skull bandana, to go with his new wardrobe. And finally, this is him:





I'm not quite sure that he is very happy now, but at least he doesn't shiver anymore. I also decided that I'm tired of his kennel, so we got him a nice bed that matches the colors in the kitchen, and a blanky, so we finally took out the kennel. Now, if you know me, you know that I've always felt it is ridiculous to put clothes on animals, but I felt bad that he was cold. I guess there's no way around it, I'm getting old!

Oh the trials and tribulations of four animals! I love how you went through systmatic steps with this whole ordeal and in the end he has to put something back on - you didn't say, will you be shaving him down again? The 'hoodie' is cute!

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t

Before I start my update... I just had to take a picture of Connor. He is such a BOY!!! I think boys are programmed to be goofy... If you have a boy, I'm sure you have found these kids of scenes, pretty much daily! Anyways, this Good Friday I participated in The Way of the Cross celebrated at 3 pm in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic we have in Aurora. I was so glad to see such a large group, it kept growing as the minutes went by. It was pretty cold, and as usual, I was not wearing a sweater or jacket, but it was well worth it. We prayed for the babies being killed, for their mothers and for the doctors and nurses that assist them. May God help them all. As I did this, Noni came to take the kids to decorate eggs. We did decorate some at home on Saturday, too, but Noni's were a lot more dramatic, especially the one with all those feathers! Coco and Connor found some presents from the Bunny on Sunday morning. After church, we went to Noni and Papa's to celebrate with ou

I made this little book that came with my CHS March kit . Now, since my dear friend Tracie in her blog made me very aware of not posting other people's kids on my blog, I can't show all the pages inside, but I made this book to house all those little pictures of kids that exchange school pictures with my kids... I really LOVED it and made it in a night, while Brian watched tv by my side (that was SOOO COOL!) The paper is Scribble Scrabble (the one i bought like a month ago at that store that I found!), cardstock is bazzill, the stamp is by Stampin' Up!, letter stickers by doodlebug, flowers are Prima (are there any others???) Feel the itch to scrap!
