Hello, your a mom now! Welcome to parenthood!"

<---My boys.

My dogs are like 3 year-old's on a constant sugar high. You can not leave them unsupervised for a minuet! All the dogs I walk are tired and calm, after are 1/2 an hour- hour long stroll/speed walking walk. My boys, when we get home after our walk, their not tired.for.one.bit. They are racing around with insane zoomies, whining for attention, constantly engaging in play (which we have established the rule, no playing in the house. House=rest and peaceful time), and getting into things their not allowed to put their noses into. By 9pm they finally wind down, do at least there is an end to all of this.
Luckily I am a trainer and try to think creative ways to kill these unwanted behaviors. I know what they need and I know what to do, but the problem right now is: I am so damn tired after work. They get their training session in with their, alone-play-time-with-mom, but there are days where I think that's not enough or able to do it all. On top of that, I still have my cat Animal and she leaves for Vegas next month. I'm trying to spend as much time as I can with her, but the dogs demand so much of me.
I'm not writing this for help and I'm actually not complaining! I have a pretty strong idea what's up, but we are limited with what we have and where we live; so I work with what's around me.
The whole point of this post is: A) They're being their crazy selves right now, therefore inspired me enough to update this blog; and B) when ever I mention something, like the above, my father always says; "Welcome to parenthood".

 These are the cute culprits--->
Look at those faces! Damn, how I love them.

So yeah, people when you get a dog, let a lone a puppy (that's a whole books in itself), your getting a child; no joke! This isn't new news for me and I knew what I was getting into, this is just my first time having two kids at once. A learning experience indeed!
 I know I haven't been around much, but there's very little I feel motivated to write about; till now. I do have some ideas I want to write about, but lack the time [or energy] to creatively create them (and I want to, I like expanding my vocabulary and thinking outside the box, when blogging). I'm grateful for those who read this and I have no idea how many of you are out there. I guess I write this more for me and possibly my family [I think some of you peeps know of this, yet again I only told my mom about it, HA), since they ask what's up of me.
What I'm trying to say is: this blog is alive, though its not always active. It likes to take long brakes and naps between posts, but it will always be here :)

The Unknown Is Scary

This blog is dedicated to my dog, Baloo. Baloo is my sweet, male, blue-doberman and for a dog and doberman, he's pretty sound. When I first had him, I learned he wasn't afraid of the sounds of a Texas thunderstorm; it didn't phase him at all. Once I helped him make Seattle feel like home and he met my vacuum, well he didn't love it, but he didn't run downstairs either. He'll follow it, obviously keeping space between him and that monster. Today, I found his kryptonite, the albino cichlid at Denny's Pet World. I have never seen him so unsure and scared about something. He anchored his hind legs, stretch the front of him as far as he could, without touching the tank. If the fish moved, even just its mouth, he would jump and step back. Even when I touched the tank, to show him it was nothing, he looked like he didn't trust the fish and kept his eye on it, hahaha.

Tonight's event inspired me to document it, sorry I haven't been around and I hope to have other adventures, be my muse for this blog :)

Hi!

I know I haven't been around for almost a month, but I finally have an opportunity to make a few posts this weekend. This is late, but I hope everyone had a great holiday and new years. Lets celebrate the craziest time of the year, being over with and the beginning of a new year!

For this morning I wanted to share this Ted Talk about Vultures. If you know little to nothing about them, please watch this! They are so very important for our ecosystem and their bald head plays an important role in their survival. I have never thought of them ugly and think their incredible.  Please watch and enjoy!
