CUTE IS IN

I've said it before and I will say it again! My whole life has changed since Feb 3rd when George and I went to pick up our puppy, Lexi. I thought I wouldn't survive the first month, but here I am - she's 4 and half months old and I think I have aged 10 years.

The good news - I can now get several hours of work done a day - when she sleeps of course. I pretty much know her schedule and she is 80% potty trained - maybe more - she hasn't had an accident in several days. Lexi has already been through 5 weeks of puppy class. She was the most hyper and the smallest in the class and, I suspect, that she might have failed the class if they didn't have a policy of passing every student. They told us that we need to put her into high activity situations to teach her not to get so excited each time she sees a human or dog within sight or sound.

In an effort to help improve her social skills, she and I took a walk a couple of weeks ago (before Easter) in Peddler's Village. There is a little pet accessories store there that allows pets. In we went and walked around the store while the store owner finished up a phone call. When she hung up the phone, she quickly pointed to a row of new doggy hats that had just come in. She asked me to have Lexi model one of them. I immediately fell in love with the little pink doggy hat with a black and white polka dot ribbon encircling the top.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am far from being a "froo froo" person. Heck, I used to be a New Jersey wreck diver! Needless to say, I bought the $30 pink hat !"(I don't spend that much on my OWN headgear!) and let Lexi wear it for the rest of our walk. She instantly became a magnet for "Ooooh, look at that cute little dog with the pink hat."

So sue me - I have become a sucker for "cute" and I'm OK with it.

Note:
Due to an increase in spam to the Free Monthly Drawing AND because I am having trouble contacting monthly winners (most likely because they have their own spam filters), I am now requiring Free Monthly Drawing entrants to include their complete contact information. If you would like to enter the drawing but do not wish to submit your contact information, you can call me at 215-862-6489.
