we adopted penny and kingsley from this farm in the midle of nowhere virginia. they were underfed, mistreated, and they were very sick. they had fleas and worms. we took them home and bathed them, took them to the vet and now after a long perio of being sick they are healthy puppies.
penny went into heat early and unfortunately we had to let kingsley stay with a friend of ours who runs a doggy day care. he has been having the best time while we miss him.







we brought him home after the vet said it was a reasonable amount of time after she was done being in heat. unfortunately kingsley decided that she was still ready and they well... you know. .. mated. we had to let him go back to our friend vicky's while he awaited his appointment to be fixed.




well i called the vet today and they finally have a closer appointment. the two of them are getting fixed on MONDAY!!! that means that we finally have our little terror back.
we miss him so much.



but i have to say being with penny has been nice. having to spend time with both of them we never really got to see how sweet she really is. well i sure hope that she hasn't gotten too spoiled while he has been away because as nic so lovingly calls her...
PERIOD PANTS PENNY, YOUR BROTHER'S COMING HOME!!!
yay.

The National Zoo!!!

yesterday we went to the zoo with blake, tanya and anika. it was typical dc weather, nice for about one minute and rainy before you know it. luckily it didn't rain until we were already there. we got to go through the whole park without any real disruptions. it was totally empty, which was ideal but there was just one thing... all of the animals looked super depressed. we were all theorizing that they were jealous of the animals that got sent to the la or san diego zoo. because it was raining only some animals were out, mostly the water animals. the pandas were asleep and the only animals that seemed spry were the birds and to be honest, who realy goes to the zoo to see the birds right? oh well. as requested i bought a camera and took pictures. so here's to you aunt cherish. my first blog post.

while we were there we saw two zebras who seemed to be "fighting" turns out they weren't and then nic and i promptly directed anika in another direction. it was "wild" haha.

the seals were sleeping on one another. the lion wouldn't stop roaring at the lioness on the other side. apparently she's in heat. wow. must be going around (penny) haha

the lady cheetah was super angry. all the time she just kept pacing. im sure she's crazy by now. she just keeps pacing.

the monkeys stunk and that was about it.

nic had been begging me to go and we haven't found the time and now we can both say that we went. we bought post cards so hopefully i will be able to send them soon.

love you all.

i plan to keep in touch
