My Boys

I never get tired of watching these two together.

Lately they love to read books at bedtime on the iPad.

The Adventures of Aidan and Scout

Aidan loves Scout! Every morning the first thing out of his mouth is "can I get Scout?" and the last thing every night is "can I kiss Scout Goodnight?"

Once in awhile they play a little rough and last night Aidan took a bite to the eye lid. We try so hard to tell Aidan to keep his face away from Scout because he doesn't know not to nip at him. We are working on Scout with his biting but he's still a puppy. He will hopefully outgrow it.

Adam was out of town on business and I had walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water when it happened. All of a sudden Aidan started screaming. I knew the dog had bit him. When I first got to him, there was blood everywhere. I really did think at first glance that we might be in for a trip to the ER for some stitches.

Once Aidan was calmed down (he freaks at the sight of blood) I was able to clean him up and realized it was a small cut that just wanted to bleed a lot! We got the boo boo bear and he was good as new.

Scout felt terrible and wouldn't leave Aidan's side. We had a little heart to heart about him injuring my baby. Haha!



The Good Life

I'm not naming names (cough, Scout) but someone is breaking the rules around here and taking naps in my bed.  I want to kick him out but really he looks so cute!

Update on Scout

I know you all have been dying to hear about how the puppy is doing.  It's going pretty good.  He has had minimal accidents in the house and has really warmed up to the cats and loves chasing them around the backyard.  Luckily our yard is fenced in so I can just let him out of his crate and right out the back door to use the bathroom and he loves to play out there.  Aidan loves to let him chase him around.  He is sleeping great at night in his crate. He's never whined once! We really think he likes it in there.  He does chew stuff. I bought him some toys to chew so hopefully that will change but he was pulling up the braid in our jute rug in the living room and I was having a heart attach on a daily basis.  He totally ruined the rug in front of our washing machine. It was one of those deals where he got one thread loose and then unraveled half the rug.  Adam said I was looking for an excuse to toss it so he really helped me out. He is eating more which is great.  When we first brought him home, he didn't eat for 3 or 4 days and I felt so bad for him.  Now, I am regretting buying the expensive organic food because I imagine we will be running through it. He is a huge snuggler. When Adam and I are still up at night after Aidan goes to bed and he wants to snuggle, he sneaks in to Aidan's room, jumps on the chair at the end of his bed and then jumps on the foot of the bed and cuddles up next to Aidan. We've found him in there half a dozen times now.  It's pretty cute but I am not a huge fan of the dog in our beds.  I'm trying to chill out a little bit. Energy is not something he is short on.  On Halloween we took him trick or treating and had every intention of letting him ride in the wagon.  He wasn't having it. He walked the entire way! That's really all I have to report for now!  I'm hoping he's trained sooner than later and I can stress less about him peeing everywhere and really enjoy having a dog. Aidan is in love so I don't think he's going anywhere!

Taking a snooze on Mr. Harvey while he works on his iPad.  

side note: my husband is wearing thermal underwear because when it starts to get cold he acts like we live at the North Pole in an 3 bedroom igloo.

Snuck a pic of Scout in Aidan's bed.  I'm assuming it must be warm under Aidan's chin.

 I just took this picture over the weekend. He is still so tiny.  And OK, he's cute. He's really, really cute.
