I am sitting on the floor in our living room - home sweet home -  with a little pug puppy in my lap.  He is adorable.  He is a peeing and pooing machine.  He is getting much better at staying in his crate.  He is only two months old.  He is Buster.

 

The whirlwind part of our summer is over.  After coming home from Europe, we had less than a week before leaving again.  Brandon and I went to Sun Valley with his family.  While I am not necessarily "outdoorsy", I did enjoy the beautiful scenery, bike riding, swimming (in the condo's pool - not some sort of lake or river), and walking around in the hot, hot, Idaho sun.  I got burnt, of course, but luckily it wasn't that bad.

 

Now that Buster is getting used to his new home, I can start on my to-do lists.  We've got a vet appointment on Monday and we need to start puppy classes soon.  It would also be good if I could get in a dentist appointment for myself before school starts again.  Hmmmm.... I hate the dentist.

We arrived in Seattle last night.  I was doing well after a good night's sleep - I love my bed - but after having a delicious  breakfast at Vera's I suddenly started to feel very cold.  By the time we got home I had a full-on case of the chills.  They finally burned off after an hour or so in bed with the heating pad.  Now my body aches and I've got a raging headache.  Boo.
