Charlie. Omar. Sandy. OH MY!

Wow, I feel like I am living in a zoo!

Charlie is starting to turn into a bit of a terror. He's not coming as quickly when we call him, he's running further than our property outside, and he wont stop getting into things! He has this knack for finding every little odd and ends stuff! He will NOT stay out of the toilet paper, bathroom trash, or away from Sandy! Omar is smart enough to stay clear and run for her life. Sandy on the other hand gets tackled by Charlie at least 10 times a day. We never know if we should pull Charlie off or let them battle it out. Thoughts?

We put in a post and chain for Charlie to start being on while outside. It will be interesting to see how this works out. He's used to roaming around, so we'll have to see if we can make it work. I've figured out that on days that Charlie can get our and go for a walk or run, he does much better. Last week we made it 4 miles together! We did have to stop and walk at a few places but overall he did phenomenal for a 3 1/2 month old puppy! Hopefully, he'll start to learn his place around the house and continue to settle right in.

Viva Las Vegas!

Its been far too long since my last post... I'll try to recap as much as possible!

We went on a trip to Las Vegas with some amazing friends. We planned the trip last minute and were able to get some great deals along the way. Brittany and I were on the lookout for groupons and were able to get a reasonably priced bus trip to Hoover Dam and tickets to see the Bodies Exhibit at the Luxour. We ate at some amazing restaurants, tried all types of foods, and met up with a friend who now lives in Vegas.

The weather was 65 and sunny, warm enough to wear flip flops and enjoy it! We did a lot of walking and explored the entire strip. We bought a bus pass that took us back and forth on the strip, we sure saw some interesting sights! My favorite evening included dinner at one of the largest buffets in Vegas at Treasure Island. I ate more than I should have and barely left room for dessert! After dinner we went to Cirqu du Soliel! It was AMAZING!!! We saw the performance called Mystere. It was better than I could have imagined. A full 1 1/2 hours of amazing routines and performances. I could have watched it over and over again!

Another highlight of the trip was to spend so much time with my friend Brittany. We lived together in college and currently live in different states. It was great to spend quality tome together and explore an unfamiliar territory with her.

I'm sure I have more stories about the trip, but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...right!?
