Just so y’all can begin to tie how my crazy Oklahoma life meshes with the blogging world…

Ladies & Gentlemen we’ve got a poser on our hands. Ellie has started posing for the camera. I kid you not. This dog now has to be where the camera is…AND will even do tricks while you snap away. Rotten? Nope.

If only I could get Z Dog to do this, too. She’s a little crazier, therefore making it even harder to snap a picture of anything but a black blurrrrr running across the shot.

I Know the Feelin’

Poor Baby Z has been in that lazy slump today, poor thing has napped and hasn’t left my side all day. She’s the separation suffering kind and hates when I leave her when I jet off to school. She’s definitely my little side kick, that’s for dang sure.

Have I mentioned she loves to lay on pillows, while you’re sleeping on them. There’s nothing in the world scarier than opening your eyes from a nap and seeing this face greet you & starring at you with those eyes. Nothing….okay…well maybe the SyFy channel.

Silly girl looks all relaxed and comfortable. Maybe I should trade places with her today, actually I would if I didn’t have to study today. Intersession sucks!

See what I mean? Under the covers and laying on my pillow.

Debating about getting up for a second….wait…maybe not…

See what I mean? Lazy bones. Back to bed again for this princess.

Scruffyness

First & foremost, my dogs are not allowed on my coffee table. However, Miss Thang thought it would be acceptable to do this to get my attention. It worked. Grabbed my iPhone, snapped the pic and then scolded her for being on such furniture in the first place. Must be a typical “Mom” thing.

Z dog is definitely a handful and can act a bit crazy at times. I love the fact that that she’s got the quirky attitude and can jump a mile high. Although, this can be quite literal seeing as how I’m a mere 4 ’10.

Twas’ A Fabulous Year {in Pictures}

Roomie graduated from the University of Oklahoma.
Caught my first Saugeye, sadly it wasn’t a keeper and I had to throw the poor fella back.
I learned how to two-step. I love to go dancing now, wonder why?
Sent a few packages overseas to the land of Afghanistan.
Baked a ton of muffins one evening just because I was bored. This happens often.
Thanks to Pinterest, I burnt my eyebrows, eyelashes & pieces of my hair off. Yeah, that was an interesting night.
Dressed up my fur kiddos in matching sweaters for Thanksgiving.
I saw Justin Moore in concert. This was my biggest happy moment of the year…I’m quite sure of it!
Made the conversion to a HD TV & even sprung for Apple TV 2. It’s by far been the coolest creation Apple has come up with yet.
Attended my first OU Basketball game & actually bought season tickets. Kinda crazy.
I pulled a Geeky moment and dressed up as Darth Vader for Halloween — except I wore a tutu. Talk about one crazy idea.
Hopped on a 4-wheeler a mere 4wks after I did something crazy.
As Papaw would put it, I took full custody of Zoe. Best decision I ever made….mostly because she’s the best snuggle buddy.

2012 looks to be promising. I’ll be trekking east in a month which I’m sure will spark into weekend trips to Texas starting in July. Just a few semesters left and I will have my bachelors degree. Can’t wait to accomplish that, it’s been a hard road to accomplish, but I’m determined to get it done.

In Rare Form

Zoe is still a typical puppy. She chews. She’s full of energy. She’s an absolute handful.

Tonight though, she’s fast asleep. This hardly ever happens when I’m up and moving around, she’s usually attached to the hip and follows me room to room. Can’t say I blame her, if my sleeping schedule weren’t so screwed up I’d be asleep too.

I do have to chuckle though. I got Ellie this stuffed animal years ago (when I first got her as a puppy). It came from Toys ‘R Us and has been the biggest hit of the house ever since. Zoe has actually taken up with it and when Ellie doesn’t have it laying on it or doing her “Ellie Aerobics”, Z Dog does. They’re definitely not spoiled in any way, shape or form.

Here’s a closer look at the baby of the household. She looks a little perturbed that I’m snapping her photo and not allowing her to catch up on her Zzzzz’s. She should be used to my crazy picture antics by now, poor thing has had a camera of some type in her face since she was born she should be used to it by now. Right?

She Loves My Laundry

Ellie-O has always loved getting in my laundry baskets when I’m doing laundry. The first time she did this, I thought I lost her in the house. Now, this is the first place I look for her at — especially when I’m gathering up laundry around the house. Personally, who could blame her? It’s like one big fluffy dog bed and in her eyes it just might be a step up from her memory foam pet bed. Yeeeeeah. Ellie, you’re one goofy dog.

I’m not quite sure she was happy I found her and made it get out. Needless to say, she found her pet bed next.
