puppy cut
Tuesday, July 15, 2008Labels: bebo
I have been a bad puppy mommy. Poor Bebo needed his haircut weeks ago and he finally got one last night. We asked our groomer to give him a "puppy cut", which is a bit shorter than your typical Bichon cut. Someone said he was getting chubby a week ago so we decided that just wouldn't do. Now he looks so scrawny and those ears...tiny!
He'll feel a lot better when he's outside though. Plus in a week his new haircut look will have grown out enough that he'll look even more adorable.

bebo is feeling neglected
Thursday, March 06, 2008Labels: bebo
Today I bring you Bebo because this blog has definitely been lacking in Bebo time. I think he's feeling slightly neglected lately because Josh and I have been sick. He has taken to peeing on the floor again and barking at everything. He has gotten really good at going right into his kennel when we tell him to.
bebo's boots
Tuesday, December 11, 2007The other night Josh and I picked up some little booties for Bebo's feet. His little paws get really cold when he has to stand out in the snow for a while. They were five bucks at Petco so I didn't feel like I'd be out much if he didn't want to wear them. Labels: bebo
He actually doesn't mind them too much but it is hilarious when we first put them on his feet. He high-steps it all over the kitchen. I took a little video of him (but excuse the gross apartment carpeting).
sharing the bed
Friday, December 07, 2007Labels: bebo
My dog is all kinds of sappy these days. I don't know if it's the weather or he's completely grown out of the puppy phase. He pretty much HAS to be by Josh or I. You should see him if we're in separate rooms. He will lay in the doorway so he can see us both or alternate 10 minutes with each of us. It's so funny.
Bebo has always slept on the bed with us. It started with the first night we got him and he cried so much that I let him curl up with me. A couple months ago Josh and I decided (okay, well I decided...Josh is a pushover when it comes to our dog) that Bebo should sleep at the foot of the bed instead of squished in between us. I was waking up to about six inches of bed for me with my legs hanging off. Bebo and Josh tend to move closer to me in the middle of the night.
So we got a blanket for Bebo and put it at the end of the bed. The first night I had to pick him up and put him down there probably 10 times. He would just keep walking up to us. After about a week he got the hang of it and now we just have to point to his blanket and he'll curl up there.
That ornery little guy knows though that we won't make him go back to the end of the bed when we're asleep. Sometime in the early morning he will almost always crawl up and either sleep on my pillow right next to my head or nose his way under the covers and sleep in the middle of us.
I've made progress though because there is less time for my husband and dog to steal the covers and most of the bed from me. Now I wake up with a dog pressed against me but at least I'm not getting pushed off my own bed. And really, who can be mad at a face like that?
he's three
Tuesday, October 09, 2007Labels: bebo
Yesterday was Bebo's 3rd birthday. I still can't believe in December we will have had him for three years. I still remember picking him out from all of the little puppies. He walked up to Josh and licked his arm. That's how we knew he was the one. We drove home with a baby puppy on my lap. We stopped in Lincoln so my brother could meet the new addition to the family. Bebo puppy-hopped outside of Tony's dorm. I think we all fell in love that day.
We've come a long way. I kind of forget how much work a new puppy is and all that Bebo got into. Even though I kind of wish he was still that young, I'm glad we're past that stage!
poo
Thursday, September 06, 2007One of the most memorable things from my brother's wedding day had absolutely nothing to do with the wedding. I had just gotten home from getting my hair done. Josh and I took Bebo outside before we needed to finish getting ready. As we brought him back in I noticed something on his little polo shirt. I asked Josh if he had got some mud on him. I bent down to look at Bebo and I just knew. Labels: bebo
"Bebo rubbed himself in POO!"
Josh started laughing hysterically. I pulled the polo off but it was on his ear and shoulder too. Josh grabbed Bebo and put him in the tub to wash him off. I scrubbed the shirt. Disgusting.
So about 30 minutes before we were supposed to be leaving Josh and I were cleaning poo off of our dog. Definitely not something I'll forget about Tony's wedding...

how to charm me
Thursday, April 26, 2007Labels: all you need is love, bebo
I was laying on the floor of the kitchen (getting this shot) when Josh walked in.
He looked at me and said, "I adore you. You are the single greatest thing that happened to me. Seeing you laying on the floor, camera in hand...well, it just reminded me of that."

he's one of my best friends
Monday, April 02, 2007Labels: bebo
This little guy makes me really happy. When I'm feeling anxious or upset, he's right there ready to snuggle with me. Bebo and I spent a couple hours cuddled up on the couch yesterday and on Saturday. He was my shadow just following me around all weekend, waiting for me to sit down so he could get on my lap. I sure do love that puppy.
hoping for the weekend
Friday, February 16, 2007
Bebo and I are looking forward to the weekend. We're hoping for some extra time to sleep. Also we'd like coffee, chocolate, sudoku, movies, warmer weather, good shopping deals, eating out, snuggle time and surprises. Hope you all get what you'd like this weekend. posted by kimberly, 2/16/2007 08:43:00 AM

bebo, the momma's boy
Wednesday, January 03, 2007Labels: bebo
About a year ago, Josh and I were struggling with Bebo because he was misbehaving some. Since he grew out of that, I can't complain. Bebs has turned into the sweetest dog with the best personality. He's definitely still ornery and likes to pee on Grandma's couch pillows but he really doesn't get into trouble too much.
Bebo has also turned into such a momma's boy. He follows me around and usually wants to be by me. The other night I laid down on the couch to read a book. He jumped up on the couch, climbed on me and snuggled into a little ball on my stomach. He's so pathetic but I love it.
what my day consisted of
Wednesday, November 15, 2006
I woke up yesterday morning around 2am with a bladder infection. They suck. I was up for a couple hours because it was impossible to fall asleep. I then proceeded to spend the entire day in bed. I left the apartment once to get my prescription. It's really weird to sleep that much. I kept laying back down because I was tired but I didn't think there was anyway I could sleep more. Turns out you can sleep all day. Bebo stayed by my side the entire time. I think he knew I wasn't feeling well. He curled up next to me on the bed and slept his day away too.
Luckily those antibiotics work quickly and I'm feeling a little better today. I have to admit that I wish I were still in bed though. posted by kimberly, 11/15/2006 07:38:00 AM

Bebo is really ready for the weekend!
cooking with kimberly
Tuesday, September 19, 2006Today on zee show vee vill be cooking Cheekin Noodeal Soupe. Zis is eh vury easy ricipee an taste zeelicious. Okay, sorry...that's enough of that. Labels: bebo, in the kitchen
Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
2 cups cooked chicken breast, pulled into small pieces
3 cans (49 oz each) chicken broth
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups sliced carrots
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
In a large pot, combine chicken broth, onion, celery and carrots. Bring to boil. Stir in uncooked noodles, chicken, parsley flakes and pepper. Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until noodles and veggies are tender, stirring occasionally.
I love to use my Santoku knife to cut the veggies. It makes me feel like a real chef.
Bebo always goes crazy for chicken. I seriously thought he was going to try to jump up on the counter to get some.
Once the noodles and chicken are added, the whole apartment starts to smell delicious.
Enjoy the final product! Perfect for a chilly day.
the bandage
Friday, September 15, 2006Labels: bebo
Bebo looks like a war hero. Actually he just has allergies pretty bad and has taken to gnawing on his leg. Last night Nurse Kimberly came to the rescue and made a makeshift bandage. (Not bad, right Pam?) He looked at me like I was crazy though. But for the hour that he kept it on, he didn't nibble on his leg once. I told him that if he doesn't stop, he's going to be a real embarrassment because he'll be wearing a lampshade around his neck. (And not because he's partying too much either...)
mushy little bebo
Tuesday, August 22, 2006Labels: bebo
Bebo is really settling down in his "old age". I remember when he was a little puppy and I thought, "This dog is crazy, what did we get ourselves into?" He still does the Bichon Blitz, as we call it, where he runs around the apartment jumping on the couch and chairs. But he doesn't stay crazy for that long. He is also so mushy. Bebo has turned into such a big baby and always wants to be by Josh or I. (Usually he'll maneuver his way into our lap.)
On Sunday morning when I woke up, I was surprised that Bebo wasn't pressed against my legs or snuggled up in front of me. I looked to the chair in our bedroom and he wasn't there either. I walked out to the living room where our friend Brett was sleeping on the couch. Still no Bebo... I walked back into the bedroom to check under the bed. When I still couldn't find him I headed back through the apartment. All of the sudden I see a little white head pop up on the other side of Brett. Bebo looked at me as if to apologize for not sleeping next to me and then snuggled back down with Brett. Luckily Brett didn't mind sharing the couch.
parade
Monday, June 26, 2006Labels: bebo
The big festival is over for another year. Josh and I went up town a few times throughout the weekend but I have to admit that I was disappointed with it. I thought this year's would be huge since it was the sequicentennial celebration. I really think they should have taken a few years off and saved up money to make it big. Oh well, what do I know, right?
The parade was pretty good although it was so spread out that it got kind of boring. The highlight for me was definitely Cap'n Crunch who was tossing out mini boxes of cereal. We took Bebo to the parade with us and he did really well. He was totally scared at all the fire trucks though which was pretty cute. Josh and I got enough candy to last us two years so I guess the parade was a success.
under the bed
Thursday, June 08, 2006
Bebo likes to hide under our bed. Often times he will spend the whole night sleeping under the bed until early morning when he'll finally decide to curl up with me. When he's in trouble or has something he's not supposed to, he goes straight for the bed. (There is in fact, a pair of socks he stole in this picture.)
Yesterday evening he crawled under the bed to take a little nap. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of him and his hideout. I found myself wishing that I could fit under the bed...and I could crawl under for a little nap.
Sometimes I'm so overcome with anxiety that I want to build a fort and hide in it. I worry about money, jobs, my loved ones... It just multiplies until I'm completely overwhelmed. I think maybe I should just find a little spot during times like that and hide out for a bit. Usually though I just find Josh and he brings me out of it. He's good like that.
I guess I can't crawl under the bed like Bebo but I think that's a good thing. If I was able to just hide out under our bed anytime something made me upset...well, I don't think I'd spend so much time "out in the world". posted by kimberly, 6/08/2006 07:47:00 AM

bebo needs a haircut
I finally got ahold of our dog groomer last night. We have to get Bebo groomed every other month because his hair just gets out of control otherwise. Bebo is almost a month overdue for a doggie-do, as we call it. Josh and I both had tried to call our groomer but she never called back. I had started calling other places to get prices but she finally called last night. She was on vacation! And now she's squeezing us in tomorrow so that Bebo doesn't have to be miserable anymore. She said she wouldn't do it for any other dog but he's so well behaved that it's pretty easy for her. I'm so relieved. I pretty much was feeling like a bad mother because his hair was so long.

the catten
Wednesday, April 19, 2006Labels: bebo
Last night our friend Brett brought over his cat. We were calling her a catten because she kind of looked like a big kitten or maybe a small cat. This cat, I'll admit was really cute and I don't really even like cats. Bebo went completely nuts though. He didn't understand why the cat didn't want to play. He was barking and trying to get her to chase him. She mostly just hid under that coffee table. If he'd get too close, she would hiss softly. At one point I thought for sure she was going to smack him but she didn't. She was pretty laid back. Bebo cried for a half an hour after she left though. Poor guy, just wanted a friend.
sitting, waiting, wishing
Tuesday, April 18, 2006Labels: bebo
This is where Bebo spends most of his days. Laying on the top of our couch like a cat and peering out the window. Now that the weather is warmer we've been opening the window for him. Mostly he'll just stare out but sometimes you can tell he catches a whiff of something in the air...maybe the neighbor grilling or a rabbit running past. He'll perk his head up and sniff the screen. When I drive up my street headed home for lunch I can usually see him perched on the couch. As I get closer I'll see his head perk up when he realizes it's me. Suddenly he disappears off the couch to head for the door and wait for me.
I took Bebo on a really long walk around town last night. It made me remember how much I love living in a small town. So many people were out and about...kids were playing in their yards. Everyone waves...
Bebo loved his walk and wagged his tail at everyone. It's funny how differently he reacts to people when we're out. At home if someone stops by he barks and growls. When Josh's friend, Chunk, stopped by on Sunday night Bebo went crazy. He's so protective of his territory AND his mama. If it's someone he knows well, he'll still bark but his tail will wag.
Last night we walked past a yard with some kids playing. They instantly saw Bebo and started yelling, "It's a puppy dog!". They asked the dad if they could pet him and he said they should ask me. I said of course but felt a little concerned if Bebo would bark at them. He just acts so protective of me. The kids came up and started petting him. You know what he did? He crouched down, put his tail between his legs and just sort of sniffed them.
I had to chuckle to myself because it was such a change for him. He always acts so sure of himself. I guess even Bebo can't help but feel a little uncomfortable in a situation that he's not familiar with. As soon as we started walking away from the kids, his head was back up and his tail was wagging.

bebo's haircut
Tuesday, March 14, 2006Labels: bebo
Bebo finally got his haircut last night. He was so overdue and lookin' pretty scruffy. When I took him to the lady that grooms him he started acting all shy. He was happy to see her like always but he didn't want to leave my side. I put him up on the table and he moved so close to me that he almost fell off. So I picked him up and when I tried to set him down he clung to my shoulder. The groomer picked him up and set him in the bathtub. He put his little paws on the edge and started to shake and whimper! (All the while looking at me...) It was ridiculous! I mean, he doesn't even mind getting his haircut and he always does so well.
I left feeling a little sad, like I shouldn't really be leaving him. I told my parents about this and my mom looked and me and said, "Wait until it's your kids". Gosh, I'll be a wreck when I have to drop my kids off at school for the first time.
Anyway, Bebo did fine. Our groomer said he stopped shaking after I left and behaved very well. She even put a bow in his hair. Josh said he looked girly which I have to agree. I took it out but not before snapping a picture.
Guest Entry
Friday, January 06, 2006It's been quite awhile since I last posted. I thought it was high time that I checked in. Things are going pretty good for me. Let's face it...I have a good life. I still like to give my parents a hard time though because I don't want them to know I think that. Labels: bebo
It has gotten a little bit trickier to get treats out them. I used to just go potty outside and get a treat. Now I have to sit, shake, roll over, hop around like an idiot. I still do it of course.
My dad is still as goofy as ever. The other day he stuck me in the fridge! I'm not sure what that was about. There wasn't even any food for me to eat. I have learned though that if I stick my head in the fridge when they open it, I usually get a bite of something.
My mom thinks that she's some kind of photographer now and is always taking pictures of me. I'm getting really good at looking away right before she snaps the picture. Sometimes though she catches me off guard, especially if she uses the flash!
Well I'm pretty exhausted from all this typing so I need to take a nap. It really is a rough life.
Until next time...
Clean Dog
Wednesday, December 14, 2005Bebo was smelling pretty bad and desperately needed his hair cut. So finally last night he went to the groomer. I always think he looks a little like Falkor from The Neverending Story right after but in a day or two he'll be grown out a bit. Labels: bebo
It took me like ten minutes to get the after shot because he just would not sit. I was laughing so hard because every time I went to take the picture he'd jump at the camera.
A year ago
Monday, December 12, 2005One year ago today, Josh and I went to pick up our little puppy. Actually Bebo picked us. A little tiny white fluff ball quickly made his way into our hearts. (Even with the peeing on the carpet, chewing up everything including the shutter of my camera...) Labels: bebo
Baby Bebo
Sick Kid
Tuesday, December 06, 2005I've come to realize that I will be a nervous wreck when my kids get sick. Last night Bebo was not feeling well. He was acting really weird when we got home from my parents. He kept going behind the chairs and wandering around. He eventually threw up A LOT which I didn't mind because I assumed that would make him feel better. I just kept telling him it was okay. Labels: bebo
After that he started panting a lot and his whole body was shaking. He'd lay down next to me and just shake. Then he'd get up and lay in a weird place like the hallway. I was so scared. I was home alone with him. For an hour I followed him around, tried to make him feel comfortable... I finally called my mom because I was getting so worried. She said she'd send my dad over. About that time Josh got home from work. He took one look at Bebo shaking and he jumped on the Internet to find anything he could. The weird thing is that when my dad came over Bebo was wagging his tail and jumped up on him. The minute he'd calm down though he'd be shaking again.
The only thing that Josh could really find was that Bebo was stressed. He had all the symptoms. We put him in his kennel because dogs feel safe in their kennels. He settled down and went to sleep, then he was fine. Isn't that weird? I guess it makes sense. I mean, he had to throw up a lot which is probably kind of scary. Plus he knows he's not suppose to do that stuff in the house... Poor little guy was stressed out.
I was so worried all night. Luckily he seems perfectly fine now. Seriously, I will be a nervous wreck when my kids get sick.
Bad Little Bebo
Thursday, November 17, 2005Labels: bebo
Look at that face...so innocent, so sweet. He'd never be naughty, right? Ha. Tuesday night he peed on my bed. Last night he ate a whole Kit Kat bar that he first dug out of my purse. I feel like I need to call Jo, aka Super Nanny, because I'm not being a good mother or something.
Seriously though, the dog gets fed. He gets treats. He gets LOADS of love and attention. What more does a dog need?
When Josh and I walked in last night and my purse was strewn all over the kitchen floor, Bebo just laid there and looked innocently up at us. The thing that was funny is that he totally knew he was in trouble. Josh put him in his kennel and he just sat in there and didn't make a sound.
So now I just don't know what to do. It's not like he's a bad dog. I mean, he's almost always well behaved. He rarely tears things up except for when we're gone. How do you discipline that? He knows that he's been bad because he acts so guilty. I'm just not sure what to do!
Halfway to the weekend
Wednesday, November 16, 2005I think it's snowing a little bit! Just those tiny little flakes but hopefully it will keep it up. I figure if it's going to be this cold, it might as well snow. Labels: bebo
Still not over my cold yet... I woke up at 4:30 this morning just coughing like crazy. I felt bad because I woke Josh up too. I guess when you're married that happens.
In other news, I decided that I would really start taking a picture a day. That was one of my resolutions last January and I kept it up, that is until Bebo ate my camera for a snack. Now that I have this nice new Nikon D50 I pretty much take at least one picture a day. Check them out with the link on the left: Daily Picture.

Randomness
Wednesday, September 21, 2005Labels: bebo, craftiness
Be sure to check out www.betterluckthistime.com! Josh and I have been working on my brother's band website and I'm pleased with how it turned out. It's a work in progress but we've got the basics out there.
Last night I went out to my church for a Missions Committee meeting. My friend, Liz, that I went to college with is trying to raise support to go back to Bolivia. She asked if there would be an opportunity to speak at my church so I told her I would check it out. I had heard that it was kind of tricky to get a guest speaker in but they seemed to want to have her come in. I think we're going to have a Sunday luncheon after Sunday School. I was hoping that she could speak during Sunday School hour but apparently the SS teachers get annoyed when they're regular time gets interrupted. I'm hoping that everything works out for her to come. Especially since I haven't seen her in about 4 years!
Here are two scarves that I have made this past week. Not a great picture but you get the idea. The yellow one is SUPER soft...I made it with baby blanket yarn. That one is for my mom. The green one is mine that I made to go with my khaki fall jacket and because I'm obsessed with green this season.
And here's a picture of Bebo because he's so darn cute.
