simplifying and consolidating

in an effort to be better about posting more regularly, we’ll be moving this blog’s content over to our regular website at adventuresofafoodnerd.com. that site will serve as a one-stop blog for all of our eating, playing, and exploring that we do. 

thanks for your patience!

zoe had her regular vet checkup yesterday. this, of course, means that charlie, zoe, and i all had to get up early and trek to the vet’s office. charlie can’t be at home without zoe, so he came with us to the vet to protect zoe. 

zoe’s fine. she got a refill for her prescription and her eye pressure and overall health is good. she had a booster shot, and weighed in at an ideal weight. charlie was incredibly distressed when they drew blood for testing because zoe got growly, but the nurse gave charlie a rawhide chip which he proudly carried home as a trophy.

a story about charlie…

our kids are not allowed to lick their butts because it’s unsanitary and well behaved children who lick their parents cannot lick their butts.

when i got out of the shower this morning, it was clear to me from his breath that charlie had broken the rule while i wasn’t looking.

i asked him, “did you lick your butt while mama was in the bathroom?”

he hid his face under his front paw.

that’s my charlie. none of us are perfect, but i guess we all can have the grace to be sorry when we break the rules.

someone woke us up early this morning because he was, apparently, in desperate need of a snuggle.

cubs at cardinals 7/31/2011. great seats, but a cardinal loss. i, personally, think josh may have been slightly responsible for the loss because he only wore the rally cap for one at bat. (david freese hit a single. josh took off the rally cap, and we lost.)

return of the shiny fur dog. (for stephanie, who loves when charlie’s coat is super shiny)
