Busy Day

Today was a busy day. After morning nap we headed to Mommy Group to see our friends Lisa and Cole. After that we walked the dog and tried (key word being "tried") to pick up the house. Somehow I feel like even when we clean, things get dirty right away. I put B in his excersaucer so I could do a few things without having to worry...

The Birthday Boy!

No, not Benjamin (his Birthday isn't for another 4 months..). It's Petey, the Wonder Weiner, who has been "gently nudged" out of the limelight by his little brother. Everyone said that once the baby came, Petey would come to find that he wasn't the "big man on campus" anymore . "Not MY Petey," I thought to myself. "Petey is baby #1." That was, of-course, before Benjamin came along. Since then, all of the posts and blogs have been Ben this, and Ben that. I decided to give a little extra love to Petey for his special day.

5 years ago, Petey arrived at SFO from Georgia, a little peanut. I took the day off work and Mike and I drove to the airport, eagerly awaiting our bundle of joy. As we paced about the cargo hold in anticipation, a man walked up to the desk with a crate and asked, "Is somebody waiting for a puppy?" There he was. I had no idea how much love this little dog was going to bring into our lives.



We let Petey snuggle in bed for his birthday and he decided to cuddle with Ben's lovie (that's okay, Ben doesn't use his lovie much, anyway).


And no doggie Birthday would be complete without a special bowl of chicken.
Happy Birthday, Petey! We love you even when you bark like crazy and we threaten to sell you to the gypsies, we love you even when we find you and a room full of stuffing from one of Ben's stuffed animals, we love you even when you try to challenge dogs much bigger than you in park, we love you even when you bark at the skateboarders at night and wake up Ben...you are cuddly, snuggly, and wonderful. Happy Birthday, Petey, we LOVE you.

He's on the move!
