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, 8:43 AM 1 comments |

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, 7:38 AM 2 comments |

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, 7:47 AM 0 comments |

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. Labels: bebo
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.

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.
Sunday Afternoon Adventure
Monday, September 19, 2005Josh decided that yesterday afternoon was the perfect time to take myself and Bebo over to Eureka to meet his good friend, Brett Duquette. We headed out of town but before we could get too far we see a dog walking on the railroad tracks. I told Josh instantly that he had to pull over. I hopped out of the car and the dog, a female beagle, came right up to me. Thinking that it was a family's dog that goes to our church I hooked her to Bebo's leash and we started walking over to the closest subdivision. Josh headed over there in the car but soon backtracked to me. He informed me that both of their dogs are in their front yard! Labels: bebo
So we put this dog, that I started calling Betty, into the backseat of the car. Josh drove over to my parents so we could get her some water. The neighbor across the street from my parents has a beagle so I called him. Nope, their dog was in the kennel. He suggested another family in town that has a beagle. Still no, their dog was laying on the couch. I tried calling people in the subdivision that the dog was near because I hoped she was from there. I finally got a hold of one of my co-workers that lives out there. They suggested another family in town who apparently has an escape artist on their hands.
I called there and asked if they were missing their dog. The young girl said, "Yes!" I asked if it was a female beagle with a purple collar and she said yes again. I told her that I was bringing her dog over, whose name I found out was Maggie. When I hung up the phone I yelled, "Her name is Maggie and I found her home!" My parents, Josh and I all cheered for Maggie. We drove her over and I let Maggie out of the backseat. She trotted up the front lawn wagging her tail. We were so happy to find her owners!
We did finally get to Eureka to meet Brett Duquette. We sat on a porch for an hour and Bebo was so well behaved. He just laid around and watched kids walk by. I was so proud of him for being so good. It made me glad that he wasn't a dog that liked to escape.
Scuffs in Life
Wednesday, September 14, 2005So I think my new thyroid medicine is working. Yesterday I scuffed my car mirror on the mailbox and I laughed. People, I LAUGHED about it! Three weeks ago I would have been bawling in the parking lot. I even laughed when I told Josh about it. (Although he didn't find it nearly as funny as I did.) He's been warning me since I moved into my apartment that I drive up too close to the mailboxes but I have to so I can get my mail out! Really it's just a little scuff so it's not so bad.
It's hard to judge if you're feeling better when I didn't have too many of the physical symptoms that are so apparent. I am slowly feeling more energetic, more in emotional control (this is huge), and even perkier. I'm really hoping that this does the trick!
Bebo got a haircut last week and he looks so handsome. At first I always think he looks kind of goofy but then in a few days his hair grows out some and he looks adorable. He keeps watch out the window to protect Josh and I.
Josh bought me the September issue of Real Simple because I didn't have it yet. Have I told you how much I love this magazine? I read every single thing front cover to back cover. Here's a quote I liked from the mag this month:

Josh and I started putting up a baby gate in our hallway to keep Bebo out of the bedroom and bathroom. (He has a thing for toliet paper and underwear.) This gate thing worked wonderfully for a couple months. Two weeks ago my world changed when my brother and his girlfriend decided to teach my dog to JUMP THE GATE. They got him all riled up and teased him with a treat. Eventually he leapt up and hurtled the gate. Now it wasn't easy for him at first, in mid-air he would use his back legs on the top of the gate to help get him over. Of course at first it's hilarious to see this little dog jump over the baby gate...then you realize what this means. Hide the underwear! Put up the toliet paper! Bebo can now fly over it with ease. In a single bound, he is over that darn gate. This picture makes me laugh. He looks like Super Dog!
(I added some Bebo pictures to Flickr.)
Migraines are rough
Tuesday, August 09, 2005The past two days...whoa, yuck. Sunday I felt a headache coming on around noon and by 4:00 I realized it was a full-blown migraine. I was in so much pain. I pretty much slept on and off all day. I decided to take one of Josh's leftover pain pills from his surgery. That kicked the headache but then yesterday I felt so weird all day... Light headed, dizzy... I finally left work around 11 and crashed on my bed. Today is a much better day though. I'm finally feeling better. Labels: bebo
Bebo has been so protective of me the past two days. On Sunday he would follow me around and then curl up next to me while I slept. If I would get up and move to the bedroom, he would lay on the bed with me. Josh and I both decided that Bebo knew I wasn't feeling well. He isn't normally so incredibly laidback. It was very sweet.
Today is exactly one month from my wedding. I still can't believe that a month has gone by. My parents picked up my dress on Saturday from the cleaners and it looks so nice. I can't wait to put it on again though. Ha! I could never be one of those people that have their dress sealed up in a box... What fun is that?
Just another Manic Monday
Monday, July 25, 2005I can't believe the weekend is over already. Josh said last night, "Why is it that days we get to spend together go so fast and days we're apart go so slow?" Good question. It does always seem like the weekend speds right by and the week creeps along. I guess it doesn't help that I live for the weekend. Every day at work I live for 4:30 on Friday... Labels: all you need is love, bebo
My weekend was pretty good. Friday was the name changing deal which actually wasn't too bad. The Social Security office took like 5 minutes and even the Driver's License place wasn't terrible. I made a bunch of calls that evening to get my name changed on other things. I figured changing my name would be such a pain...it hasn't been too difficult.
Saturday was kind of rough because allergies were kicking my butt. Josh's dad had called to see if we wanted to see the new Batman with them and Jenna. We can't really turn down any invitations from them since they rarely offer...so Josh said we would. I just was not in the mood to sit through a movie. Luckily there was a misprint in the paper so we just went out for pizza instead.
This morning I got up at 6:00 even though I don't have to be at work until 7:30. Josh had to work at 6 so I just figured I should get up and be useful. I cleaned up my kitchen and started laundry. Bebo was so cute this morning. I think he was confused why I was still there so he would follow me around. Sometimes he would go sit on the back of the couch to look at the window and suddenly he'd come running into my bedroom with his tail wagging...like he forgot that I was there. I was so sad to leave him this morning; he'll just gave me that pathetic sad face like, 'Fine, go...leave me'.
Well that's all for now. Is it Friday yet?
He just wants some ice cream
Friday, June 03, 2005Anytime Josh and I open a kitchen cabinet Bebo is right at our feet. He reminds me of the butler on Mr. Deeds that just appears out of nowhere. In the mornings he will sleep so soundly on my bed while I'm getting ready but the minute I open that box of cereal he is right next to me. Thankfully he doesn't cry or jump up too much to get the food, usually he just sits at your feet with those big black eyes looking at you so pitifully. Labels: bebo
Josh was sitting on the couch this weekend eating ice cream and Bebo jumped up on the couch rested on Josh's leg. He sat there the whole time while Josh finished off half a pint of Ben & Jerry's.
It must be me
Thursday, May 19, 2005Do you ever feel like the world is out to get you? Today I feel like driving out into the country and with no one around just screaming, "Cut me some slack".
Bebo destroyed Josh's glasses this morning. They are not able to be repaired so we will have to come up with the money for new glasses. Luckily it happened so close to the wedding because at least then he'll be under my insurance. Hopefully he can get by without them for awhile.
Sometimes I feel like I must be doing something wrong but things don't go right for me. Maybe I just have really bad luck. posted by kimberly, 1:57 PM 0 comments |
Josh is cute and really smart
Tuesday, April 26, 2005I can't believe that Josh is almost done with his semester. I mean, it's not even May yet! He has one class tomorrow and then a couple "study" days. Not sure how that works if you don't have any tests... He does have three papers to do but he's going to finish one of them today. (Right, Josh?) I've been on him so he can really relax this weekend and not have to worry about finishing papers before Monday. Labels: all you need is love, bebo
Then next Wednesday he starts his new job. We're pretty darn excited because it means WAY more hours and A LOT less driving. I couldn't afford for him to work! It will be nice to have him contribute a little bit more. It's been really hard on me to support him the past six months especially when I wasn't expecting it. I had been hoping to save money before the wedding but that hasn't been an option. Josh is really appreciative because he knows it's not really fair that I'm paying for all his stuff right now. Once we get married though, you won't hear me complain once. I promise.
The really nice thing about his new job is that we get his work schedule for the whole month! Before we got his week schedule the Friday before. It was so hard to plan anything because we didn't know until the last minute. Now we can plan around his schedule a month ahead. I'm thrilled because I like to have stuff planned out ahead of time.
Eatin' supper with my parents tonight. Thank goodness for them. Otherwise Josh and I would starve.
Josh just called and said that Bebo ate one of my flip flops while we were gone today. At least it wasn't one I really liked. I guess I need to get new flip flops.
The two dogs
Sunday, April 24, 2005This was right before Bebo got a little too close to Toby and pissed the old man off. But they do actually get along really well. Of course Toby is about three times the size of Bebo. Labels: bebo
blah
Thursday, April 21, 2005What a crappy evening. Josh just spent the last four and a half hours in my room typing a paper that is due tomorrow. It was not how I had imagined my evening. Of course my expectations weren't much better... I thought I was going to have to deal with something very unpleasant. I thought about it all afternoon and had everything thought out. What I would say, what I would do... I was ready, mentally prepared. And then Josh informed me that he had a eight page paper due tomorrow. I was so frustrated. You know when you're ready to do something hard and then can't. It just took the wind out of my sails. I didn't have anything that I wanted to do tonight. Bebo had to go out about a hundred times and since Josh was busy I got to take him out all one hundred times. Enough of my whining...at least tomorrow is Friday. I'm going shopping with my mom. Well I'm not actually shopping because I've got no money...I'm just tagging along but it should still be fun to have some QT (quality time) with my little momma. Labels: bebo
Ready for a nap
Sunday, April 10, 2005Josh, Bebo and I went down to Jess's this weekend to see her house. Bebo's first road trip went really well. He was a little confused about being in his kennel in the car but he settled down right away. We decided that he should definitely ride in his kennel down there because I would hate the thought of getting into an accident and him getting really hurt. It's one thing for us to be driving in town or over to Josh's parents and he's out in the backseat but man, if we were in an accident he would have nothing holding him in. It's worth a little bit of crying on his part to keep him safe! Labels: bebo
We painted Jess's bathroom while we were there. One wall pink the other three walls a warm white color. I think it turned out really nice. It was good to see her house and everything too. I still can't believe that she owns a house. I felt like we were just in an apartment when we were there. Maybe someday Josh and I will be able to afford a house.
Bebo and Barbie got to play together again. Bebo was so happy to see her. He just followed her around with his little tail wagging. For the most part, she was happy to play with him. But if Bebo got too close to her food or a toy she would go crazy. Barbie would start snarling and growl and attack Bebo. Quite a few times we had to pull them apart. It made me nervous. I mean, they probably wouldn't have hurt each other but we don't really know that. They're still dogs and Bebo was definitely defending himself. I wouldn't have left them alone together, that's for sure.
Today my parents took us out for lunch at Ming's. Tony and Emily met us there so it was good to see them. Josh and I even got some sushi so that was cool. I am so full right now though I should probably not eat for the rest of the day. We all ran to Walmart so Tony could get some food and Josh and I could get some cereal and milk for the week. I'm hoping to be able to afford some groceries this week. My dad tried to buy the little bit of food we got but I wouldn't let him. I mean, they just took us out to eat! They're so awesome for helping Josh and I out so much. It's definitely appreciated.
Bebo has crashed on my bed for a nap and I'm thinking about joining him. I'm pretty wiped out and glad to be home.
You forgot the what?
Saturday, March 26, 2005Last Saturday while I was tanning Bebo decided to use my digital camera as a chew toy. I had decided to leave him out of his kennel. I was only gone for TWENTY NINE minutes. He ripped the shutter right off of it. I was pretty upset and even more upset when I realized there was only one camera repair place in the phone book and it was an hour away. Labels: bebo
This morning around 9:00 am Josh and I head out for the repair place. We were first going to stop in town to pick up the paper I ordered for our wedding programs. We got just outside of town and I realized I had forgotten the camera. I FORGOT THE CAMERA. I was so upset. So we went ahead and drove in to pick up the paper...of course we get there and the paper place was closed until 10am. I drove back home for the camera and then we started out for the camera repair place. The morning was not off to a good start.
Luckily things improved some after that. Josh and I met Jess, Tommy and Jess's mom then went to the mall. I tried on a bunch of clothes but nothing looked right so that was disappointing. I did find the cutest coat at Gap. It was a pale yellow long jacket that had little embroidered flowers on it. I wanted it sooo bad and it was on sale for $60. $60 I don't have so I unfortunately put it back. I can't find it on the website so that's a bummer.
Now we're back at home with our puppy. Supper at my parents... Tony's coming home.
Guest Entry
Tuesday, March 15, 2005Kimberly asked me to post today and I was happy to do. I came to live with her about three months ago. My "mom" and "dad" (or so they like to call themselves) are strange creatures. They get really excited when I do things like sit and lay down. It's kind of weird but hey, I get treats so I humor them. Labels: bebo
I like to annoy them by finding their socks and running around with them. It never fails...they'll chase me around the whole apartment just for a sock!
A few times a week I go over to Toby's house and see my grandparents. They like to play with me and I really like peeing in their house because Grandma gets so mad. Toby is fun to play with but he usually just stands there and I run around him. He did show me where the snack cupboard was so we like to check out when I'm there.
I like playing with Dad a lot. He runs around and acts pretty crazy so we have a great time. Sometimes though he puts my toys in his mouth which is so strange.
I mean, really...would I put his toys in my mouth? Okay, okay...so maybe I do occassionally but I can't help it! He just has so many interesting, shiny toys!
Well I better sign off for now. It's about time for me to run around the apartment like crazy because it makes them laugh. Have a great day!
Wishing I was going to Arizona again
Wednesday, March 09, 2005My little puppy was so snuggly last night! I had crashed on the couch to watch a little TV. Since Josh was at work, Bebo actually wanted to lay with his mom. He kept moving closer to me on the couch. At one point he was laying across my chest and decided that just wasn't close enough...he crawled up by my head and laid on my pillow! I was giggling so much that he kept picking up his sleepy little head, looking at me and I'm sure thinking, "Why is she being so loud? I'm trying to sleep!". It was pretty darn cute. Labels: bebo, the one with friends
One of my friends stopped by last night to tell me some exciting news. He was asked to be the assistant to the president of Food for the Hungry out of Phoenix. Sounds like an amazing opportunity and lots of traveling. He's never been to Arizona so I got out my pictures from when Josh and I went about this time last year. I loved the Grand Canyon...I definitely would like to go back there when we have more time to just hike around. Check out this website: You can get the current weather conditions for the Grand Canyon!

The smell of Vicks is slowly going away
Tuesday, February 15, 2005Thank goodness that Josh is feeling better because I am so tired of being a nurse! I definitely do not have that calling. I mean, I guess its different if they're people you don't know. But since it's Josh I just want him to do get better. He was up and moving tonight and I could tell that he was feeling better. I told him that I was "this close" to telling him to be a man, get up and feel better. Haha..luckily it never came to that. Labels: bebo
Bebo had his surgery today. He did well and I was able to pick him up when I got off work. He's kind of been wondering around like weird but he's doing good. We're hoping that he doesn't lick a lot because then he'll have to have one of those dorky collars.
Ah, a day in my exciting life...
Night of the Dogs
Saturday, February 05, 2005Jess was here last night with her puppy for the first time. We weren't sure how Bebo and Barbie would take to each other. They're pretty much inseperable now. It's puppy love. They played pretty darn hard all night, of course with Bebo trying to hump Barbie. Last night when it was time for Bebo to go to sleep I put him in his kennel and he just cried. He was so sad not to see his moon goddess. He missed her and didn't understand why she wasn't with him. It was terribly pathetic. They're already at it this morning. Labels: bebo
They're first getting to know each other. Barbie looks a little confused like, "What is this white hairy thing doing to me?"
Bebo trying to look innocent to get some doggy action.
Look at how fierce she is!
Check out Bebo's tongue trying to get her.
Baby's First Haircut
Wednesday, February 02, 2005Bebo got his very first doggie-do last night. I felt like I was dropping my little kid off to school for the first time. I can't imagine what he was thinking. Here I was dropping him off at some strange house and this new lady is doing all kinds of weird things with me...is my mom coming back for me? I'm such a dork to think that a dog would think that.
He was pretty freaked out by the clippers. But he did pretty good "for a puppy". The things the groomer expected him to be scared of he wasn't....like the toenail clippers and pulling ear hairs. He looks so different. I can't believe how long his hair was!
He is super skinny and now he looks like Falkor from The Neverending Story.

Socks taste better than toys
Wednesday, January 12, 2005Labels: bebo
Our dog is a genius. He knows that he's not suppose to chew on our socks but he will hunt them down. He has now figured out that the curtain covering the closet is not a door and he can push through. Bebo will take every opportunity to push through, dig around and pull out a pair of socks. He also likes my Care Bear, any sort of slippers and your feet if you're wearing socks. If you catch him chewing on one of the mentioned items, he will start licking it. Like we believe he doesn't want to rip it apart. I guess one of his billions of toys aren't good enough for him. They're laying all over the apartment and yet he finds more pleasure torturing me by stealing my socks.

Found this dog tag. So cute...I should probably get it for Bebo.
