HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY SIENNA!!!!!

"mom, i need to lose weight"

tired pup after a long walk!

no gray hairs yet!

my little angel baby!

happy birthday to my 3 year old puppydog, sienna!!! 

i love you times a million despite how much trouble you cause me.

3=21 in dog years...she is gonna get SO DRUNK tonight on her bar crawl! (just kidding of course)

post from last year!

My dog on a wine bottle?!! yes, please!

Just read about this Real Dogs & Cats Wine over at Design Blahg!
you can order whichever wine you choose from the site (cali wines) and get them custom made with your dog's picture on them! you can even choose your own caption like "Sienna will eat you alive and then chug this wine!" at the price of $16.97/custom bottle, it's really not too expensive.

and there is a rescue series - where 10% of proceeds go towards animal rescue! LOVE THIS BRAND!

friends & fam - i like sauvingnon blanc. keep this gift in mind. i'd like at least 6 bottles so that you can get the 10% discount.

Puppy Drama!

this little angel has turned into a terror as of lately. she growls at me and my sister (i'm her primary owner, but sis might as well be a co-owner), and she even growled at another roommate who she is OBSESSED with.  on top of that, she lunged at our short friend after being fine with her for a longer period of time.  sienna has always had a TON of attitude and a generally quirky personality, but this is getting a little scary. instead of loving when we snuggle with her, she sometimes shows her teeth. it's getting out of hand and we are hoping to get a behavior specialist in soon.  she really only growls at night...and mostly freaks out when people are in "her" territory - my bedroom.

do any of you guys have suggestions of what to do? we are very quickly losing patience as this is not the first instance of her misbehaving....at almost 3 years old, i would have thought some of these negative qualities would slowly fade...

anyyyyyy suggestions are accepted (except for the obvious - to put her down. we have obviously thought about this...don't get me started)!! any lurkers who randomly read my blog and have doggie expertise - please comment :)

i dont want to have to give this precious pup away!

Snow Dazzeeee

it looked light out at around 11pm!! crazy! haha leigh...creepin' through the streets

me and casey taking part in the redneck tradition of porch sitting while we watched the other girls clean off their cars

kisses for puppy!

high five, mom! give me the biscuit!

Happy Sunday!

...from two VERY happy pups!

Sienna is on bed rest!

who would have ever thought we'd have to put the MOST ACTIVE pup in the world on bed rest?!?!

welp, the little sucker has been playing too rough for about three weeks and seems to have developed a limp/sometimes walks on three legs. it got bad enough that we (my sister) decided to take her to the vet (normally we tell her to walk it off....she IS a ninja afterall....). they first informed us that it was a) lymes disease or b) ACL injury. AWESOME - both will set me back over $1000. after her evaluation - where she attempted to bite the vet tech (yay red flagged folder) - they told us that she doesn't have lymes and that it was probably just a muscle strain that she hasn't recovered from yet. the vet prescribed some pain pills and bed rest for a week...

....she seems to be taking it well :)

Sienna baby

she looooooooooooves lollipops. she really always has loved things on sticks (popsicles, omg.), but she is so aggressive about them now! she will literally eat it right out of your mouth if you aren't careful!

i love her.

Sienna

Facebook friend my pup!

she is funny, i swear!

Introducing: The Devil

A few weekends ago, I spent the weekend with this little nugget. I am doing the same this coming Memorial Day weekend....

...he may look cute (in a weird, lemur-type of way), but don't let that snaggletooth fool you. I had to zoom to get this picture. If he is near my sister or his owner, Neather, he won't let know anywhere close to them. DEVIL BEAST.

unfortunately, I have to spend the weekend with him again. This time, Neather and Sissy will be there - should be fantastic. Can't wait to get harassed by this pup all weekend :)

*disclaimer: neather, i really dont HATE peanut. he just scares me. Sienna loves him though - besties!

Sienna's Birthday Treats + proof I'm a moron

I had no time to bake the pup a cake due to the home search and various varsity drinking events this week. So instead, I bought her some treats at the local dog bakery. apparently, if you want a cake, you have to order it 24 hrs in advance. (hello people. its a DOG, they wont know the cake is stale.)

regardless, she enjoyed her treats :)

and because i am an IDIOT, i fed her a crumbly muffin type thing on my carpet that she has so kindly ripped up. totally fun for cleanup!!!! yayyyy i'm SO smart sometimes.

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY PRINCESS SIENNA!!

Princess Sienna is 2 years old today!! Contrary to popular belief - she is WELL aware that it is her birthday, and for this reason, I am making her a cake!

oh to be young:little did i know this picture above would be foreshadowing of the future + 45 lbs.


i loooved when her ears did that all the time when she was in her growing up, awkward phase. although she is still pretty awkward.


she looooves running on the beach in the water:


hahaha looks like she is smoking a blunt. but she isn't. seriously.

present day pup in her birthday gift:

some people blog about their kids. i blog about my dog. JUDGE ME!

FUN PUP

this is going to be me in 15 yrs. it will be an SUV instead of a van and full of dogs instead of children. woof.woof.

*you can even see the dog crate in the back...haaaaah

Wanna see something gross?

while i didnt want to gross ya'll out with the dog bite right when it happened, i decided now was an ok time. apparently, hydrocolloid bandaids should NOT be worn for a week and a half (cleaning and replacing every day...) because they burn your skin. argh. this dog bite is proving to be WAY more of an issue than i originally anticipated.

Siennie-pup & Picture-a-Day - 1

How could you not love that face?

Also, I want to try something new. I take SO many pictures already, and I've always wanted to do the 365 pictures a year thing. So, starting yesterday (April 1), I decided I am going to give it a shot for a month. One picture, each day! If I enjoy it, I'll continue! I am excited to share this project with you guys. I apologize in advance for pictures of Sienna because we all know when it gets late at night, I'll turn to her goofy face for pictures!

HAHHA doggies and cupcakes

Reminds me of Sienna:

Happy Friday!

Oh Monday!

Happy Monday, folks! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend - and for those lucky enough to have today off, i hope your extended weekend was amazing!

my little escape to the beach was perfect!

mom and papi paid for everything (can't go wrong there!) and they were SO much fun to be around!

Sienna was a freaking gem - unheard of. Pictures to come of her frolicking on the beach (wait for it...) LEASHLESS! *gasp*

pics of the day

she looooves sleeping in the car...especially with her body in the backseat and her head on the center console.


i love her
