Zoey's First Haircut

Zoey's hair was starting to really long, at least longer than I thought it should be. Plus she had this little, as Shaun and I liked to call it, "bum curtain" going on.. It definitly needed to go! She looks much better now. I was told that she did a good job too!

January

The beginning of January nothing really big happened.. Until the 17th. That is when Zoey had her Puppy Class graduation. She did a good job for the most part during the class. She is really good at sitting and we are still working on everything else. I think Shaun and I were better trained than Zoey. Anyhow... There were 6 dogs in the class (Eva, Samison, Darwin, Lucy, Ray Ray and Zoey)  Zoey didn't like the big dogs. They scared her, until graduation. The night of graduation she became adventurous and decided to go check out the big dogs (there were 3; Lucy, Darwin and Ray Ray) and try to steal treats from the instructors treat bag. It was pretty funny. For graduation we played a game and the puppies all got to eat some puppy friendly ice cream. I am not sure what Zoey thought about it. I think it was a little too cold for her. It was fun watching her eat it though. It was a fun class and I am glad that we took it.

The Graduate!

Ice cream!

Later in month Shaun and I rode the Fun Bus to Wendover with my parents. It was a fun evening. I would definitely take the fun bus out there again. On the way out we played bingo and Shaun actually won! He only got a dollar, but it was still fun. Once we got out there we eat dinner and just wondered around. It was fun being able to spend the night with my parents. Zoey even got to have a sleepover with the family we got her from. I think she had fun, but she was excited to see us when we went to pick her up.

The following day I had the opportunity to go to Color Me Mine and have a girls day out! It was TONS of
fun! I love that place and I honestly can't wait to go again. I love getting to be creative and just having fun. Plus getting to hang out with just us girls is fun too!

I think that is pretty much our January :)

November

I have been really bad about keeping the blog up-to-date, but I eventually get around to it :) I figure that the easiest way to update everyone is to do it by month, so here we go.

I already posted about the biggest thing that happened to us during that month of November and that is the addition to our family, Zoey! She is a lot of fun. We enjoy every minute with her.

Also during November I was able to go to Time Out for Women here in Salt Lake with my Mother in law. It was a really enjoyable weekend. The speakers were great and very motivating. I LOVE TOFW! I can't wait to go again.

We had two Thanksgiving this year. The Sunday before Thanksgiving we had dinner with my Mom's side of the family. It was fun being able to spend time with family we don't spend too much time with because everyone seems to stay so busy.  The food was delicious as always!

On Thanksgiving Day we went to Shaun's uncle Bruce's house (the same place we had our wedding reception). We were late because I had to work (the joys of working at a hospital) and by the time we got there everyone was pretty much done eating, but we still were able to eat some tasty food and spend time with Shaun's family. We took Zoey with us and it was fun watching her interact with the other dog that was there as well as the cat (way funny!) All in all our Thanksgiving week was fun.

The last big thing we did was start puppy classes with Zoey... There will be more about that in a future post :)

The Newest Member of Our Family!

Shaun and I recently have added another member to our little family, a Chihuahua/Yorkie (aka Chorkie) puppy. Her name is Zoey and she is SUPER cute! We are already completely in love with her. She has brought a lot of joy to our home and also a lot of learning. She will definitely get us ready for a human baby (because she definitely is still a baby). She will be 4 months old tomorrow (She was born July 10th).

Things we love about Zoey:

• She is a awesome cuddlier (she is currently cuddling with me as I type this)
• She is good about going into her crate when we are leaving or going to bed
• She has the cutest little face. I love that her eyebrows are white on one side and black on the other side of her face
• She loves having her belly rubbed
• Her ears... They are just SO cute! 
• She is really cute when she "buries" her treats. She digs at the ground, puts in her treat and then uses her noses to cover it up
• Her army crawl
• How she walks sideways sometimes

We are excited to be parents to our little Zoey girl.
