Day 707

We need to invite people over more often so we can have a clean house all the time. Also: dinner party!

Day 706

Having no energy because you're pregnant is a lot more fun when the puppy is sleepy with you.

Day 705

Husband seems to find it humerus how often the dog and I are not on speaking terms.

Day 704

I am happy to report that this dog does not explode when given shots.

Day 703

I am now at the stage of pregnancy where you can see my belly moving when I am not.

Day 702

Husband and Puppy both got haircuts today. Twins!

Day 701

The dog has been working on making his whines extra piteous. Husband has been working on being even more delightful.

Day 700 (belated)

Sometimes when your dogs asks to go out, it's just because he wants to feel the wind on his face.

He will do this in the middle of a three hour drive, and whine so piteously that you think he must be on the verge of exploding.

He will do this because he is an asshole.

Day 699

New Life Lesson:

Never go anywhere you need to pack for while pregnant.

Day 698

And when Friday actually comes, the people are too tired to rejoice; they nap on the couch, then eat dinner and watch Dr Who.

Day 697

Took the puppy to a friend's house. He was very good, aside from the part where he peed on our host.

Day 696

My slug trap has failed. I'm having to assist with their drowning rather more than I wanted.

Day 695

The puppy finds it alarming when his people don't go to bed at bedtime. If one of them is missing, his job is to dash madly around the house until he finds them.

Day 694

Husband and I are pretty good at cooking, but the oven tends to attack us when we make frozen pizza for dinner.

Day 693

The baby has now had the opportunity to jazzercise Husband in the ear. It took full advantage of the opportunity.

Day 692 (belated)

Husband saw wriggling on the ultrasound, and can feel it when he puts his hand on my belly.

In utero jazzercise lessons have officially begun.

Day 691

...And then all of a sudden you can see your baby's heart beating.

Day 690

The dog does not approve of book learnin'.

Day 689

Small crazy puppies playing with big gentle dogs is the best.

Day 688

The crowning achievement of my day was succeeding in tiring out the dog.

Day 687

Husband is home!! I have never seen the puppy be so excited...

Day 686

It is our last night without Husband. I tuckered the dog out so much he didn't have the energy to cry forlornly into the shower tonight. Success!

Day 685

The puppy is much better at making friends than I am. 

To be fair, it's a little easier for puppies. All you have to do is make this face:

Day 684

Going to bed feeling triumphant because the puppy didn't pee in the house today.

Day 683

I'm hoping when I have the dog a bath I managed to wash some of the evil out.

If not, at least he smells better.

Day 682

While the dog might be good for my blood pressure, he is bad for mood stabilization. 

Seriously, he should not be allowed to be so fucking terrible when he is going to be so sweet and adorable the next minute.

Day 681 (belated)

The dog is trying to distract me from missing Husband by peeing all of the time, attacking the dog in the mirror, and finding every feather in the house to chew on.

Day 680

Bertie had his first day without Husband. For some reason the dog is convinced he must be hiding in the shower.

Day 679

Turns out our dog also gets distracted by how cute he is - he has discovered the mirror.

Day 678

Washing the shower, me, and the dog in rapid succession makes for fun times.

Day 677

Friday night is lego hobbit night.
