Lola



Here she is! My pretty puppy. Her name is Lola and she is now 10 weeks old. She is getting a little better at the potty training routine. We bought puppy pads and those are working pretty well. We took her to the vet on Tuesday. She didn't thoroughly enjoy being there, but she wasn't too bad.

Here is her first vet picture:




When Brad, the vet, gave her a shot she didn't whimper at all. She's pretty tough. Plus, she got so many treats from the assistants, that we probably shouldn't have fed her that night. If you need to feed your dog, take them to the vet.



The vet said she weighs 15 pounds already! Our first dog was only 12 pounds when he was her age. Now he's 60 pounds. I'm going to spend my income on dog food, but it's worth it.

new pup

I got a new puppy last week. She's 8 weeks old and adorable. My boyfriend and I got our first dog together a year ago so we decided to get a playmate for him. Their names are Charlie and Lola. Both pups are mutts. Charlie is definetely part Lab and Lola is part Chow.

It's awesome to watch them play. Charlie's favorite game is tug-of-war and he and Lola love playing that game. We have a rope they play with, one will sit there and hold it while the other tugs on it. It's fun to watch them.

Since Lola is a puppy my boyfriend and I haven't been able to get a full nights sleep. She whines when she wants to play or go to the bathroom or is thirsty. But it's totally worth it when I see how much fun she and Charlie have together. I will post pictures of the new puppy soon.

College Education for Free

I came across an article on Yahoo.com today. There are 8 colleges in the U.S. that offer students a free, four-year college education. Granted a lot of then require that you work some hours on campus. Hey, I'm all for that. There is even a law school in California, UC Irvine School of Law. Here's a picture of the school.















There's a quaint school in Deep Springs, California. But it's two-year and only males are allowed to attend. So who wants to go? If my parents weren't helping pay for school, I'd be packing my bags now.

So, here's the website in case anyone is interested. http://blogs.static.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/22573.html

A diss to Britney



Britney Spears had her big hit "Hit me Baby One More Time" when I was a Freshmen in High School. So, yeah, I liked the song. The years went by and secretly I liked the songs Britney was still coming out with. Of course I told no one. Sadly I still like her songs. What can I say, I like to dance and she puts down the beats.

Okay, not really. I was on danceline in High School and we had to dance to her songs. I've never liked her. That is why I am proud to say, yes, the All-American Rejects for once get kudos from me. I especially liked the accoutrement of beer bottles as percussion. Well done AAR. This will be the first and only time I will give you two thumbs up.
