Singing like a Pro

Applebee's here in Orem has a Karaoke on Tuesday nights. I've started going with a group of friends. They decided to have an Applebee's Idol and somehow I got signed up for the contest. The first week I sang "When you say nothing at all" and I had a group of friends come to vote for me. I made it to the 2nd round, which was last Tuesday night. I sang the song "I will Survive" and did an OK job at it. Even though I did a good job I didn't have very many friends to vote me, so I didn't make it. I still had a great time and I loved wearing my pink hat. Charise came and gave me hints on prepping my voice before I sang my song.

4 girls, 2 dogs, and a big campfire

Yes, I went camping last week up near Kamus and it was so beautiful. Me and three other girls went together and I took the dogs. I don't think they had as much fun as I did, but Eddie sure did bark a lot when people walked by the camp site. We did all the cooking with the dutch ovens and over the fire- this was really fun. The dogs slept a lot and got really dirty laying int he dirt. We went for a few walks, to run to the bathrooms and that was it. We spent the whole Saturday all four of us girls, relaxing near the fireside and reading books. We also ate a bunch of junk food and made a wonderful stew that night. I had so much fun that weekend it was really relaxing and just what I needed. Cassie and Emily enjoyed making the fires and cutting the wood. Can you see the shape of a devilish face in this picture above. We had some big fires on both nights, but what do you expect, when you have four girls who like to play with fire.

The Shoe Fetish

Yes, Eddie has know chewed up three pairs of my favorite shoes. I know that its mostly my fault, because I leave the shoes down on the floor. He is just so fast, and quick, that he gets to my shoes before I know it- yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The good thing is that he only chews on my shoes instead of the roommates- thank goodness! other wise I would have to buy everyone new pairs of shoes to make up for Eddie's Fetish.

Weekend of three dogs

Over the last few days or maybe its been a week- we've had Smokey spending time with us. Eddie and Smokey have played non stop. I sometimes feel like I have my own personal speedway in the front room. Those two dogs and sometime Ella too, chase each other around and around. Also I must include the barking that goes with the chase. They are are hoot to watch. Most of the time it will be 2 against 1, and it seems that the odd one out is always Eddie but he doesn't seem to mind because he can run so fast. Having Smokey over has been really great for Ella sometimes she gets a break on teasing from Eddie. I think that Eddie will miss Smokey when its time to go, but I think we have another week before he has to go home. His parents and family have been traveling around the East coast and they are having the time of their lives.

Tonight, Smokey seems he has decided that he doesn't like guys, we have some house guests over and he barked at them when they first came into the house. It was so funny to see him act scared towards men.

Another chapter in Eddie's Life

The latest escapade in Eddie's life is is love for new toys. I no longer need to purchase toys for him to chew on and drag around the room. I just need to give him a roll of toilet paper, some plastic bottles, or mail that is not important. He is still trying to chew on my shoes, so I have developed a new habit- keeping my closet door closed. Eddie loves to cuddle or climb into my lap when I am sitting down on the couch. He always manages to squirm under my arm and squeeze himself onto my lap. He is so cute I am glad that I have him in my life.

Eddie and Ella have both gotten new haircuts- I shaved them and since the haircut Ella has played more with Ella (I guess her long coat was too hot and that's why she slept all the time). Its a joy to see Ella playing or chasing more around the house. I hope to breed her soon so she has to loose some weight. It will be fun to see how Eddie handles new puppies around the house.

Eddie's new chew toy

Eddie has decided that he likes to chew off the heads of flowers, stems and even bulbs. Yes, he actually pulled up a flower bulb of mine and was chewing on it in the TV room. I came home from work and found the stem, leaves and bulb all chewed up around the room. What am I going to do with him, I just keep reminding myself that he is a puppy.
