Weekend Boredom, Puppy Vaccinations & More..OH MY!

Well, this weekend was another jam-packed one. Friday afternoon I decided I wanted to get out of the heat and see a movie. So, I called up my good pal Doryan to see if she was interested. Sure enough...we were on!! We headed out to see "The Hangover". I seriously laughed through the ENTIRE movie! It was soo funny.

Saturday after work Luna had an appointment with Dr. Pena, her vet for her last round of vaccinations. She is officially vacinated and here is her tag to prove it!! We have to head back in a month for her heartworm treatment and hopefully she will just be allowed to be a puppy for a while with out weekly/bi-weekly trips to the vet. It feels like her adoption date of May 14th, we have been making trips to see Dr. Pena. You should have seen Luna get excited and her tail just a waggin' when we walked into his office. Don't you all wish your pets were that excited to see their vet. Hee Hee.

After we returned home we got ready for our night guests. I invited my friend Zarely and her son Eduardo over for dinner and a movie. Although the dinner I made didn't get eaten, I seriously need to learn that Mexicans eat their big meal at lunch time...you think after almost 3 years I would get it...but know I like to entertain and I tried out a new recipe (which turned out really good). It didn't get eaten, but I brought it into work and it will get eaten here. Zarely and I watch "The Holiday" with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, while Eduardo entertained and wore out Luna. It was nice having them over.

Sunday, I got up and headed over to play/hang out with Joe and Camila. Joe and I played fetch while Luna chased Joe up and down the street. Then it was Camila's turn and Luna & I took her for a nice walk. By mid-afternoon it got to a point where I needed to get into some air and was bored from just being in the heat. I remembered that I had some apples in the frig so I thought..hmmmm..apple crisp???? So, onto the www to find a EASY & YUMMY recipe for apple crisp. I found one over at allrecipes.com - EASY EASY EASY!! Check this recipe out!! I do recommend reading the comments as I would tend to agree that it turned out really sweet. I don't like peeling apples so I left the skins on and it turned out fine. I used a combo of granny smith, fuji and gala apples because that's what I had and it turned out just fine!! I did add some cajeta (mexican form of carmel) to the water/apple mixture and instead of a white cake mix all I found was a butter recipe cake mix. Brought it to work today to share with my AWESOME co-workers!! :)

Well and finally it rained last night after of about..oh i don't know..15 days without rain. I seriously lost count. But, we definitely needed it. It was the first time since I've been back that I actually had to cover up with my sheets and not sleep right under the fan. YAHOO!! Here is a couple of shots of the sunset last night with the storms rolling in.

LUNA THE BEAST

Well, Luna is offically in PUPPY MODE!! I arrived back to home to PV with a sweet greeting from family and puppy kisses!! She had grown by leaps and bounds in the 3 weeks I was on vacation. I couldn't believe my eyes!! It's a bit more difficult to take selfies now as she is just a tad too long for me to hold her in my arms and at the same time snap a shot (as you will clearly see below). She LOVES her new pet bed that I found on Ebay. She makes these cutest Fleece snuggle sacks that fit a standard size pillow. I know Luna enjoys laying on the cool tile floor right now, but after time the floor has to get hard and uncomfy.

Here are a couple of snapshot of Luna enjoying her new bed.



Luna is NOW bigger than my shoe. Check these two pictures out. The first one was posted in a previous blog - when she was about 8 weeks. The second picture I shot this weekend at 4 months.





And here are my "selfie" attempts for this month. I came to the conclusion that I just will have to take selfies of Luna only.
This one was great with Luna finally - but umm what's going on with my face.



Luna..a donde vas????

Umm..so I switched areas thinking maybe if I sat down on the front steps it would help. NOPE..oh and if you click on the photo and look close you will see the beads of SWEAT rolling down my face. UGH...can you say GROSS!!


Finally, just a selfie of Luna.

And now for some 4 month portraits of her. I had to use a treat and her favorite toy (tennis ball) to get her to sit so still and cute!! Isn't she just sooooooo adorable. I can't get enough of her face I just love to give her kisses all the time.

Kristin, Pablo and Sophia are back in the US on vacation enjoying time with family and friends and I've been in charge of Kristin's plants and their two dogs Joe and Camila. While I was on vacation Kristin bought some beautiful plants for her patio and home and my "sweet" little Luna ate one of Kristin's new plants. I'm trying to nurse it back to health and YIPEE there is new growth!!!

Joe and Camila were happy campers this morning. Each night when I come to check on them and feed them, I bring Luna to play with both of them, well Camila likes playing with her and Joe and I hang out until they are tuckered out.

So, Kristin got me inspired to buy some plants too. Here is my new planting. I placed it by my front door so that I didn't have a little "beast" get into it and eat it while I was away. I loved out it turned out, but I think it's going to get a little crowded. So, disappointing when the Home Depot employee working in the garden area said, sure it will be fine. hmmmm....I guess I'll have to transplant eventually, but for now..I really love coming home to the plants everyday!! Thanks Kris for inspiring me!!!
