Rubber Ducky, you're the one....

...I don't have a fascination with rubber duckies, I'm not crazy about them, I don't use them, nor are they my "very best friend".  That fella up there, the rubber ducky, is Mila's new toy.  I found out a while ago that she loves chewing on them.  So I decided to buy her a nice big one, that would keep her occupied for hours and not give her gas.  Boy, does she have awful gas.  It's terrible.  

The reason behind the rubber ducky was to keep her busy and distracted with something that didn't make a THUMP! every, single time she dropped it.  Nothing hurts my head more than her bones hitting the ground from over two feet up, while I'm doing homework.  So, this seemed like the reasonable answer.  She does have other toys, but when it comes to ones that will solidly keep her busy, well, she ran out.

If you're a pet owner, actually an owner of a very rambunctious breed of dog, get them a rubber ducky.  I swear by it (:.

Did I get my six question, six plus part accounting homework done today?  I did.  So there ya have it.

Stay tuned for my awesome red velvet cupcakes - tomorrow.

For the love of dog

Like a Boss...

On Sunday - January 15th - my best friend picked up his puppy. He then came to visit me at work with the lil' guy. What a precious, adorable, bundle of joy! Although all he wanted to do was sleep.
A few hours later, he and Lars (the puppy's name at the time) came to visit my puppy and I. Mila is almost 6 months old and a basket case. Also, incredibly huge! No, not really, but when compared to that tiny fella, oh boy.
I keep getting sidetracked.
Anyways! They came to visit and Mila was confused. So confused by him and he just started to growl and bark. A mean mean bark, I must say! He scared her. Which surprised us both.
He then proceeded to chase her. Honestly the cutest thing I have ever seen!
I will say this though, I do not miss the super young puppy stages. It makes me feel good to know my puppy knows her name as well as command and tricks. Oh, and the fact that potty training is done and over with:).

Oh..and Lars' new name is Boss. Why? Well...he's like a boss ;). Silly? Yes! Fitting? Incredibly so! Besides, the name Lars is just bleh (my opinion, no offense whatsoever)!

I'm laying in bed, wide awake, trying to figure out what to do to pass time and tire myself out.
I've resorted to writing!

A few days ago I was out Christmas shopping and decided Mila needed a new toy. I couldn't figure out what to get her then I realized that she didn't have a rope bone to play with any more. So the type of toy was decided. Now it was deciding between the "name brand" toy or the "no-name" toy. You're probably wondering what the big deal is but you try deciding! Typically a name brand product is tried and true where as this no-name I've no idea about! The difference between the two was size and price. The name brand was small and roughly $8 and the no-name was quite a bit bigger for $6. Hmm hmm. Oh! And the no-name was minty (which I wasn't too sure about). In the end I went with the $6 no-name rope bone due to the fact that Mila goes through toys and bones like there's no tomorrow.
I'm glad I went with that one for a number of reasons.
1. She absolutely loved it -the mint was a hit
2. She won't leave the thing alone which means she would have gone through the smaller one within days.
3. It's been a great tool to help her not chew on other things - which has been quite hard to stop her from doing.

Sometimes, ya just gotta go for the better deal :)

Oh! By the way, Mila is a 6 month old Australian Shepherd x Collie.
