My Poor Car...

Saturday I went to the Washtub and bought myself the "super wash" for $29.99. I thought I'd splurge for my birthday and have a gorgeous, clean car. Unfortunately, maybe 30 seconds after driving it out of the Washtub's parking lot, I was rear-ended, causing a good amount of damage to my newly cleaned car. I'm really sore and stiff from the ordeal, but it could have been a lot worse. The other driver was perfectly fine, and his car didn't sustain near the damage that mine did. So now I'm trying to get a rental car out of his insurance company, and it's like pulling teeth! Oh well...These aren't great pictures, as they were taken from my cell phone camara, but it give you an idea.

A Great Laugh

So I was sent this a couple of years ago, but just found the link again. It is absolutely HILARIOUS!!! It definitely puts a smile on your face after a tough day...

The Children

I've had several people ask me lately how Bert and Erni are getting along. Well...for the most part they don't bother each other, but when they end up in the same room together, the fur flies. Bert is actually REALLY good about it all. He tries to be gentle (as gentle as a 55lb puppy can be) when he sees Erni, but it's Erni that gets all flustered. Erni just needs to learn how to relax and let Bert get to know him without swatting and growling at him. It can be somewhat entertaining, though, watching an orange furball running around the house closely followed by a not-so-graceful black pup. To be fair to Erni, however, this is the first time in his life that he's not had our constant attention. Erni mainly lives upstairs since Bert can't get up there because of the baby gate. (David had to protect his precious pool table from a certain curious puppy's teeth.) Anyway...here's a picture of a very rare moment when the two of them are within 5 feet of each other, but aren't arguing.
