The results are in!

In yesterday’s post I asked my blog readers to vote on a picture to use on my credit card. After I figured all the totals from the overwhelming number of votes (there were two), it looks like we have a tie. Here are the two finalists:

My friend Libby sent me her vote via text message instead of commenting below the post yesterday. I guess she doesn’t want people to know that she reads my blog. Cat’s out of the bag now Libby! : )

I'm opening the voting back up today, so comment below and tell me which picture would look best on my credit card!

Good News...

Capital One doesn’t suck! When I was trying to book a flight for Lauren’s bachelorette party, I wanted to use my points. Of course they offered every airline except for Southwest, the one we were flying on. I panicked, but then I called and they told me to just book it on my card and they would credit me back and use my points. How nice! Now if only I could find some code online that would give me infinite points, then I’d never have to pay for anything again!!! Obviously I’ve been playing The Sims too much. And yes, I did look up a cheat code for infinite money. It was too hard to wait on my Sims to earn their own money. I learned my lesson because after I had an endless cash flow, the game got boring. Yesterday I decided to delete the whole game off my iPad. It was monopolizing all my free time! Back to the point…Capital One lets me put a picture on my credit card, so I need help deciding on which one to use. For all three of you that actually look at my blog, please comment below and tell me which Lulu picture you like best. Thanks for your help!

Busy Weekend

Lulu was a busy girl this weekend. She went to pack play with her cousin Claire on Saturday and had a great time. My mom said Lulu was the first dog to get in the pond. She was so tired that she actually slept until 7:30 the next morning. That might be a record. Usually Lu has us up no later than 6:30 a.m. I haven’t had to use an alarm clock since we got her!

Lulu also had a big day on Sunday. Our neighbors brought over their dog Hazel for a play a date. Hazel and Lu are about the same size, so they had a lot of fun together. Needless to say, Lulu was exhausted after Hazel left. We relaxed and watched Frozen Planet on the discovery channel and went to bed early. Lulu loves to watch shows about animals. She was a little bothered when the penguins were being attacked by a sea lion, but she was able to relax once the fight was over. Anytime she hears an animal on TV, she gets confused and thinks it’s in the house. Silly girl.

Wild Woman

Lulu was acting a fool yesterday to say the least. When Erik came home he had a Wal-mart sack with him. Lu decided she would rather hump the Wal-mart bag instead of greeting her daddy like she normally does. Bad girl. 

I hope monkey doesn't get jealous...

A little later, we were watching American Idol and eating dinner on the coffee table. Lulu decided she wanted a piece of the action, so she walked from the couch right on to the coffee table and just stood there like nothing was wrong. Bad girl. Then, she decided the decorative pillows on the couch looked like fun so she grabbed one in her mouth and hauled it off into our bedroom. Bad girl. 

Then she went wild and destroyed our bed again. She pushed the covers all the way back and threw all the pillows on the floor. Bad girl. 

Who me? I'm not doing anything wrong.

This bed was fully made when she started

Just admiring my work...

How can you be mad at this face?

I think she was acting out because she was so excited about today. She is spending the day and night with her Dede and cousin Claire. They may even go for a dip in the pool! I will miss her tonight, but I know she will be happy. Hopefully she’ll behave a little better for my mom than she has been for me! 

Claire is ready to play with Lulu in the pool!

The Ear

Lulu has this cow ear that I gave her a few months ago. She didn't really think much about it at first. She took it outside one day and left it, so it sat in our yard for about a month. Last week, our neighbors brought their lab puppy Rosemary over to play. Rosemary really liked the ear, so she carried it around in her mouth and Lulu chased her. No big deal. Well, after Rosemary went home, Lulu became obsessed with the thing. She now takes it with her everywhere. She brings it to our bed at night, she takes it out with her to potty, she even tried to take it on a walk! The funny thing is, she doesn't chew on it. She just carries it around and throws it up in the air. She'll sometimes roll around on it and growl at it. She sat it up on our bed yesterday, and I guess she forgot about it, because when she jumped up there later she got so excited she started running circles around the living room. I have a crazy dog!

Thanks Lulu. I really wanted that dirty ear on the clean sheets.

Don't mess with my ear bone
