Day 248: Good Puppy!

Boyd and I both love dogs. We really want a dog but can't get one right now with our current living situation. So we decided to get a stand in. So far our new puppy has been amazing!!!

Snoopy has learned so many tricks!

SIT

SPEAK

STAY

 

LIE DOWN

ROLL OVER

GIVE ME FIVE

 SHAKE

 BEG

 JUMP

GET THE TREAT!

 

 BREAK DANCE?

We love our new dog very much. I love that we don't have to do poop patrol.  I love that none of my shoes have bite marks. I love how soft Snoopy is even though I didn't brush him. I love that we don't have to pay for vet visits or food or shots or dog sitters. Best of all Snoopy loves us even if we forget to feed him.

Good Doggy!

Day 247: My Poor Arm

As much as I love Ohio, I don't like Ohio bugs. My poor arms and legs have bug bites all over them. I have 20+ current bug bites. To top it off I have some lovely battle wounds from Cedar Point. I got so scared on one of the roller coasters I squeezed the shoulder harness so hard I ended up with some nasty bruises. I labeled what was what in the picture. From left to right, a bug bite, a bruise, a bug bite, and then the mother bruise. I'm glad Boyd still thinks I'm pretty. It looks like I have a disease.

Day 244: The Bestest Husband Ever

I, honestly, have the most wonderful husband in the entire world. This morning I went to a baby shower. I came home to find a clean toilet and a clean shower. This evening I went out with some girl friends. I came home to find vacuumed floors, an empty dishwasher, a clean kitchen (not to mention it was completely disgusting before and I pretty much haven't done dishes in 3 days), and the laundry all done to top it off. My husband loves me very very much. 

Day 245: The Cutest Thing EVER!

Seriously, isn't this just the 

cutest thing you have ever seen!

These are the kids of my friend Tara. Aren't they just so stinkin' adorable. I had a blast doing their family pictures and I'm so excited to put them up. This picture makes me so happy every time I look at it.

Day 244: African Safari Wildlife Park

Yesterday Boyd and I went to the African Safari Wildlife Park in Sandusky. Wow! It was so much fun! Boyd, my wheelin' and dealin' husband, got us a great deal. He got our tickets for the Safari Park for $5 a piece on groupon. Our trip to Sandusky was supposed to cost $36 for the Safari Park and $100 for Cedar Point (remember how we got free tickets?). Our trip that was supposed to cost us $136 was only $10!

The African Safari Wildlife Park was so much fun! It is a drive through in your own car and feed the animals type of place. It was very close and personal. Take a look. . .

I changed the caption on this sign. It originally said something about buying a season pass and something about the gift shop, but considering the safari guy's hand position, I thought the caption "Please do not pick the animal's noses!" would be more appropriate. 

THE LLAMAS

Notice Boyd's window is still up. 

As soon as they see the cars, they come running.

This guy was crazy. I have a funny video of him (coming soon)

NEXT UP

THINGS WITH ANTLERS

I only screamed a little, ok maybe a lot, when this guy stuck his head in our car! Gross!

Ok, I totally broke the rules. You actually aren't supposed to feed the animals by hand. 

The good news is I still have all 10 of my fingers.

It's like the coordinated not looking. 

THINGS WITHOUT ANTLERS

THE BUFFALO!

That's right, Buffalo!!!

Do you see the look of fear on Boyd's face! That is a BIG buffalo

Am I screaming again?  You becha!

The fear is real, I promise. 

But they are actually quite gentle. 

They just seem really big, and really scary!

Do you see the drool? Gross! Our poor car.

Funny thought. When my family went on a trip to yellowstone, they rangers always would talk about staying clear of the buffalo. How they are extremely dangerous and do not even get within hundreds of yards. Well park rangers, I pet a buffalo! They are surprisingly gentle. But I'm sure there is a big difference between these and wild buffalo.

After the buffalo we saw some cool African animals, but couldn't feed these ones. 

 The had a white zebra! Crazy!

GIRAFFES

That's right! We got to feed and pet a real giraffe! WOW!

The giraffes were very good a posing for me!

This is the car in front of us. 

Then it was our turn! How cool is this!

This is the "did I seriously just feed a giraffe" look.  Do you see his tongue! Crazy!

Last But Not Least

THE ZEBRAS!

 This guy was such a ham!

But he was only making this face because he wanted me to feed him

Look at that smile!

If there is one thing I realized its that zebras are so so so beautiful up close! I couldn't believe it! I think they are just gorgeous!

I told you this place was awesome!

The End.
