Same Life New Patterns

Things have adjusted really well with Rusty being gone.  Duncan is doing great although he does NOT get nearly as much energy out as he did before when he had a playmate in the backyard with him so we'll have to help him with that more now.  But he's not having any separation issues at all.  In fact he's cut the bad habits he picked up from Rusty so that is fantastic!  We're much happier now although we miss him each and every day but each day it's gets better and better.  We know he's happy with his new family of four and we're loving our new groove!

Time heals all wounds

We're adjusting well to letting Rusty go.  Duncan is doing fantastic (we kinda even think he's so dumb he doesn't even know he's gone a blessing in disguise!)  Todd is taking it really well too it's been hard on him I can tell but he's to stubborn to let his emotions get the better of him.  Me on the other hand am probably taking it the hardest (being a women with crazy hormones doesn't help any either).  We know that it'll take time to patch our family up once again and in time we'll be normal again.  We're not focusing all our energy into making Duncan the best dog he can be, which shouldn't be too hard as he's super trainable.

We're making progress as it's only been two days since we gave him to a new home so it'll take time I know but it's progress all the same.

Bitter Sweet Goodbye

Yesterday we had to find Rusty a new home.  He needed it and we needed it and although it broke our hearts we know he'll be happier there and that's what matters.  We'll miss his energy but we know that the 5 acres of fenced in yard and the 2 little boys of his new family will love him more than ever and he'll be so happy.

We love you Rusty!

Happy New Year!!!!!

We made it once again through another new years eve extravaganza.  We spent the evening enjoying stressing our muscles to the point of exhaustion with some friends playing the Kinect for the Xbox 360.  We can say we now really really want one.

Not only is the game fun for one or two or as we put it to the test six! it's GREAT for exercising.  We woke up this morning the first day of 2011 and every muscle was sore.  You know you've got a good thing going on when you don't even know you've been exercising and you can do it for five straight hours.  What fun it was!

We doubled the party as a birthday celebration for our brother-in-law Jeremy Ray who is proudly serving our country over sea's in Afghanistan.  We wish him safety everyday.  His birthday coincided with New Year's eve so we decided to honer that birthday with some mini cupcakes for a birthday cake.

They turned out too cute.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!!!!!!!

We wish everyone a wonderful and happy new year to this year of 2011 and please don't give up on your new years resolutions until AT-LEAST February... January is just a cop-out ;)
