Say Hello To My Little Biscuit

So remember about four days ago, when I posted about the puppy fiasco? Well yesterday my homeschool evaluator dropped me an email, stating the mom dog was being disrupted, and they were sending her back to the owner. She said the puppies were officially weened, and we could come pick up our puppy. OK, so here we go again. This is Biscuit, is she not precious. She is 7 weeks old, and has a nice personality. Our other dog Krypto has taken to her well, though he is a bit curious of what that thing might be. She is part lab, and dad is a mix of lab, and something. The kids gave here a carebear to sleep with, and a nice soft blanket. She did well through the night, only waking up once, to go out and tinkle. Like any other baby, she eats, drinks, plays, goes to the bathroom, and then back to sleep. It is important to get her on a pattern of eating, sleeping, and potty training. No accidents yet, Yay. Sleep will not be my best friend, for a month, or two, but she does sleep about four hours in between, so that was nice. If you don't know who Biscuit is, it is a popular childrens book series, that my daughter loves. DJ got to pick Krypto's name, and Caitlin this one. In case you don't know who Krypto is, he is Supermans dog, and my son loves super heros. We got through the first night with no complications, so that is always a plus.

Spring Ahead This Weekend

This Sunday morning at 2 AM we Spring ahead an hour. Yes we lose an hour of sleep, but it means we are that much closer to spring. When we lived in New York, I could not wait for this date. It meant the dark, cold, dreary days of winter were just about over. Here in Florida all it means, is that I have to clean the green, slimy pool because we will need it by April. This is not my pool, but you get the idea, of what mine looks like. Yesterday I drug out the cover, that had fallen in, and all the algae with it. I thought it was going to get me, there was so much. After two gallons of bleach, I can actually see the checks on the bottom of the pool. I guess you know what I will be doing next week. Have a great weekend, everyone.
