Isn't She Lovely... Isn't She Wonderful!?

Sunday we went for a walk to the dog park... Thatcher is doing better and better on his lead... BIG thanks to Michelle!! So at the dog park Thatch is extremely selective in who he plays with! If he doesn't want to play with another dog he will just stand there and stare at them... this makes people ask "Is your dog friendly... because if he's not friendly then you don't need to bring him here." Everybody becomes an investigator when you go to the dog park... it's almost more trouble than it's worth! Today this boy who was about 12 or 13 stopped me at the gate and played investigator... i wanted to make Thatcher poop on him... but we all know that's not gonna happen! To make matters worse... this little boy was one of those owners who is constantly yelling at their dog... i mean for Pete's sake... you bring your dog to the park to let them off their leash to play.... not so you can control them and act like this is the perfect training environment... you're just annoying... even your dog thinks so!!! Anyway, so after we got home Thatcher went in the kitchen and plopped himself down on the tiles and laid there the whole afternoon like a lazy boy!

Monday I walked around out in public with my pants unzipped... Thatcher didn't even bother to say anything.

Tuesday I realized that my little baby isn't a baby anymore... body wise, he's at his awkward teenage phase and attitude wise he's a cross between a teenager and a 2 year old.... just constantly throwing tantrums. Guess I'm getting what I gave when I was younger. :/

*His younger, sweeter years*


Wednesday Thatcher had a sniff of wine and decided that he needed a drink... at 9 months old he wants wine! What a monster! I saw lightning bugs outside but Thatcher was too busy seeing how high he could jump to pay them any attention. BUUUUUTTT He does have this fascination with bugs... every time we're inside he jumps against the sliding doors when he sees a tiny little bug fly by. He used to want to be a dishwasher when he grew up... but maybe he changed his mind and now wants to be an entomologist!! YES! Thatcher's gonna be makin' the big bucks for his mommy!

*The perfect bug watching spot*


Thursday I noticed that Thatcher needs braces!!! He has crazy teeth just like his mommy!

*You can kind of see his crazy teeth here*

Friday, today, I heard a bunch of jangling so I turned around to see what it was.... It was Thatcher... chasing a bug that was in our apartment... he got it in his mouth and would flip it up in the air... just like he did with his AFLAC duck before he ripped it's face off!!! When it landed he dug a hole in the carpet for it to sit... then he picked it up again and flung it through the air! On closer inspection... the "bug" ended up being a cherry pit. Hahaha! We're tired today... and when I say "we" what I mean is "ME"... I'm tired! SOMEBODY... not naming any names... was having crazy puppy dreams last night and kept kicking the wall of his crate and scratching his talons on the plastic floor and whimpering. Oh and this nameless individual has come up with a new way to do his hair before he goes to sleep at night so it will look perfect for the next day.

*When I see him like this Stevie Wonder's "Isn't she lovely" comes on in my head"*
