There's a fine line between smart and crazy


We're freezing over here. Now that the Great Snow Storm of 2011 has passed, I'm ready for this freezing weather to pass as well. Today I wore my scarf and I think it's the first time I've worn it since moving back here almost 5 years ago. Ok, I'll quit my whining now. Here's cute Juliet braving the frigid temperatures.
This is our neighbor's dog, Casey, playing hockey with Rich. Casey is a Chiweeney--Chihuahua/Weener dog mix. She's pretty fun--calm, well trained, confident (and likes playing hockey with Rich). Our family loves her and she loves us. She visits almost every day and sometimes 2 or 3 times per day, depending on how often her owner lets her out. Casey and Bailey are BFFs.
I think she's a little ridiculous looking. But in a cute way:) Sadly, her owner has to get rid of her. She has a new job and has long, long hours and poor Casey is locked up in her house all day long.
When I told Ryan and Rich that Casey would be going to a new family Ryan started bawling and Rich was really disappointed (probably bawling on the inside:) So now. . .Casey's moving in with us. We're giving it a week trial. I have a couple of issues with Casey that I have to make sure I'm ok with. Casey sheds a little and I hate pet hair around the house (and I need to make sure I'm not allergic to her). So, we bought a de-shedding brush. And Casey has really bad breath so I bought her dog breath mints. But. . .if all goes well then in a week we'll officially be a family of 7.
