New Brother or Sister?

I was thinking that Buk, Sam, Stanley, and Simon needed a new brother or sister. But even after typing all those names, I realized that probably is enough. Anyway, we were thinking that maybe Buk needed a new sibling pup to wrestle around with and Simon could use a younger doggie to pounce on. Since Gus left, we realized that maybe the babies were sad. So we started looking on the Humane Society website. Daily. I emailed T about twice a day with adorable dogs AND cats that I wanted to snuggle.


Then Gus came to visit (and will be back next weekend). Gus came inside, loved Buk for about 2 minutes and then went outside to play and came back within 10 minutes and had rolled in something dead. For christ sake! T and I ended up giving the boys cousin baths.

Although we love Gus like our own and he is SO precious, I decided we don't need another animal. That same week, I ended up taking Simon to the vet for shots and Stanley to the vet the day after because his face was puffy. Over $150 later (which isn't that much for animals) I decided our family was happy enough.

story of our lives; Simon trying to be funny and everybody else just pissed.

I don't need another dog to train and another bed for Simon to piss on.


Plus, Simon and Buk have become best buds and started sleeping/wrestling together. That then got Sammy's underoos in a twist and he sleeps with Buk on his bed now too. They are too sweet.





Don't judge me. on so many levels

I was cranky until reading/watching this - thanks!
Looks like Sam loves Fall as much as you do.
Hilarious pic of Simon making faces behind Stanley's back. I never noticed how you and Simon have eyes that match your hair/fur. Buky is such a kind, patient big brother. Of course your children would be watching sports. I want you to video Simon and Buk playing. And yes, you have enough babies.

Whether it's parenthood of pets or kids, the same two truths hold true:

#1 - Enjoy the rare and brief moments where everyone is in their happy zone together. They're times to remember and treasure as they do seem to be both rare and brief !

#2 - A parent is only as happy as their most unhappy pet and/or child. (Which goes back to the enjoyment of those rare, brief times.)

Glad to see you and the Simonator have bonded !
