Watch Out World

Last weekend, Kyle and I were in Madison for his cousin Nate's graduation.  I have to admit, it was a little touch and go there for a while ... but Nate turned things around and surprised all of us by earning a college degree in only 4 years.  He followed in his cousin's footsteps and will be working for Coyote Logistics in Chicago, starting this July.  We are so proud.  If he excels as a logistics professional (which I'm sure he will) Kyle and I plan to take full credit.  If he falls on his face, we had nothing to do with it.  ;)

Congratulations, Nate!  And, welcome to the real world!  You will soon learn that it's not nearly as fun as college life.  But, it'll have to do.

Death and Destruction

Yes, she looks sweet ... but our little Paisley has unleashed her inner "animal" on her toys - pun intended. 

Here she is with what used to be her stuffed dog, Hopkins.  Paisley had been using Hopkins as her pillow since she joined our family, always being gentle with him.  Apparently, she wasn't sleeping as well as she wanted to so she took it out on her pillow.

Poor Hopkins, scattered around Paisley's crate ...

The headless chicken, which you are all familiar with from a previous blog ...

Here's what's left of her bear, her very first toy.  She pulled a Dahmer and ate his face ...

Her Princess did not get the royal treatment ...

She broke her alligators neck within the first 5 minutes ...

And, while we all know most toys are made in China these days, no joke, we found a chopstick inside of this one ... I guess you could say Paisley has a secret love of Chinese food ...

She is still a sweet little puppy, just very passionate about playing.  We're just thankful she hasn't waged war on our furniture ... yet.  :)

I mean, look at this face ... she can basically get away with anything ... and she knows it.
