Kona Ki

Sooooo...we got a puppy!!!! I've been meaning to put a blog up since we got him but we've been so busy that I just haven't had time. He is absolutely the cutest thing in the whole world. His name is Kona Ki. He's a 9 week old shih-poo (shitzu poodle). So he literally is a little shit head...LOL!!! Anyway...we got him a week and a half ago after we had gone to dinner. It started out as just looking and then as soon as I held him I knew he was going home with us. He's doing pretty well on the training so far. Although he is starting to show more puppy tendency's the last few days. He's turned into a bit of a biter so we're trying to break him of that habit. But it's hard cause you want to play with him but at the same time make him realize you're not always playing. He's sleeping well through the night (I feel like we have a kid) but doesn't do well when we leave. He is at the point where he doesn't even whine anymore when it's time to go into his crate for bedtime, but when we leave for work or whatever...watch out!!!! All hell breaks loose and he cries and whines like it's his job. It makes it very hard to leave but so much fun to come home. So...here are some pictures of him and we'll keep you updated as he continues to grow and become an even bigger part of our family!!

Is it Nov 5th yet??

Every four years, I come close to unplugging my TV until after the election. I absolutely hate the political season. I am completely apathetic when it comes to politics. I know, I know...I should care now more than ever about the election. But what kills me is that everyone puts sooooo much emphasis on who the next president is going to be. Obviously it is important, but in my opinion it is not the most important vote that you have. In my opinion, your vote for Senator and Representative is much more important. The president only has so much power. Just because he says he's going to lower taxes doesn't mean the house/senate will pass it. Just because he says he will pull the troops out of Iraq doesn't mean that he will. Now I'm not giving my opinion one way or the other on who the next president should be. I have issues with both candidates, but will not share those with you here. Instead, I urge you to give as much thought to your vote for Senator and Representative as you do to the president. For they are truly the ones that run the country.
