Jersey and the Snow

I'm not sure if you are all aware of this or not but it snowed!  Snow in Kansas City usually means ice too.

Jersey does not like snow....in fact Jersey hates snow.  It's too cold on his little feet.

Anyway, he did ok going out to potty yesterday morning.  At first he didn't think he wanted to be out there but then I think his bladder said "Hey dude, I need some relief and they are going to be mad at you if you relieve me inside."  So he pottied and immediately ran back to the door.

But, last night he went outside and promptly slipped on a patch of ice and fell down.  He very cautiously got up and looked at the door as if to say "Screw this Mom.  I'll wait to pee until all this crap is gone."  He then immediately pranced to the door so I let him in.  And he didn't have an accident all night.  I wish I would have caught this on video because it was pretty hilarious.

This morning it was like Jersey had momentarily forgotten about the snow.  When I said "Jersey wanna go outside?"  he was just as excited as ever.  But then I opened the door and he took one step outside and all of the memories of the previous night came rushing back to him and tried to come back in.  I'm a mean Mom though and shut the door so he couldn't get back in.  So, Jersey accepted defeat and went to the edge of the concrete to pee.  Then I think he decided hey maybe this stuff isn't quite so terrible and he walked around a bit.  But he hit another patch of ice.  He didn't fall this time but his back legs went a little bit further apart than normal and he was DONE.  He pranced back to the door and didn't care that he knew he was supposed to go poo still, he was coming inside.

Poor little dude.  I think he needs some snow boots!  Maybe Santa can hook a brother up!  I'll try to get some Jersey in the snow pictures...but since he HATES it I'm not making any guarantees!

Love you all and Merry Christmas from Aaron, Becky and Jersey!

Jersey

I'm thankful for Jersey!  Duh!  That little crazy chihuahua has made me so happy.  Don't get me wrong he can make me incredibly mad as well.  Like when he poops in the house after having just been outside and pooping.  But, I'm not sure what I ever did without him.  He's like my kid.  I get a lot of flack from Aaron and my brother for having that mentality but it's true.  He goes everywhere he possibly can with me. 

Jersey completes Aaron and I's little family.  Well I guess we aren't married yet so we aren't a family but ya know what I mean. 

I know someday he will go to heaven (Because All Dogs Go To Heaven) and I'll be sad but I'll know that for however long he was here he made me absolutely ecstatic!

Take A Little Ride with Jersey!!!

Jersey loves car rides.  Which is a good thing since he goes everywhere with me that he possibly can!  He knows when we are almost home, almost to Aunt KT's house and almost to Aaron's house.  He's a goof!  Enjoy a few pictures of him in the car!

That Moment

I know today is supposed to be a review of something pop culture but I'm contemplating changing that.  Plus, I had a thought for this post this morning and I know if I don't post it now I never will.

Also, this could be a Puke-In-My-Mouth post (sorry Stephanie!)

This morning I was fast asleep and Aaron moved his arm and it woke me up around 5.  No big deal, I thought, I'll just go back to sleep.

But as I was laying there thinking I realized that there was absolutely no place on earth I would rather be at that moment.  I was snuggled up next to Aaron with Jersey snuggled up on the other side of me.  

I was in between my two guys.

At that moment nothing else mattered.  I was safe, happy, and completely content with everything in life.

I love those boys!

Sorry if you puked in your mouth.  But I challenge all of you to try to have one of these moments in the very near future.  It's amazing the feeling you get from it and how long that feeling lasts.

He's a Beast!

He just looks like a beast right??  I mean seriously how can he not...he's toy cow is as big as him. 

 Gosh...he's a BEAST!

At least he thinks he is....

He thinks he is ferocious.  He really has little man complex but he's still adorable.

This morning I took Jersey outside and there was a doe and her fawn a few yards away.  Jersey decided he needed to let them know that this was his house and his yard and started barking like a crazy man.  Ugh!  He did not quit barking until I got him back inside.

Silly little guy!  He needs to learn that things that are bigger than him can and will squash him in a second.  Still love him though!
