Well today was snip snip day for little baby Aisin (my boxer puppy). I dropped him off at 8am at the shelter. When I went to leave, he cried and cried and pulled to be with me. Which made me feel really special. I had to actually walk him into the room and close the door and sneak out he was so upset. Then when I went to pick him up, he was in the main front office on a dog bed, under a desk. The lady there called and called him to get him out from under the desk and he looked at her like, ummm I think NOT. So I had to go into the office area and call him, and as soon as he saw me, he swaggered over like the poor little drunk puppy he was! But none the less it made me feel AWESOME! He has bonded with me that much in only a couple weeks :)

I had to keep the other 2 locked up though because they were sniffing him and being really rough with him (probably because he smelled like the shelter). Jester is still locked up because he was trying to lick Aisin. Chance has mellowed and is sleeping on the couch next to me. Aisin is snoozing on the big comfy dog bed on the floor!

Yesterday Darryl and I went to Cave of the Winds (near Colorado Springs, CO). The cave is beautiful however the little switchback road up to it nearly gave me a heart attack. Thank god I was not driving! We took the regular tour, which was pretty awesome. The scenery is gorgeous, the formations were amazing, the tour guide was a little dry. None the less we had fun!

Enjoy the pictures!

Well I decided to get a change today, I got my hair permed. Its a medium curl. I think it looks pretty good! It will settle down in a couple days considering I just got it done today. My hair still smells funky from the solution they use. So I can't wait till I can wash my hair!

Enjoy :)

Well, Aisin has been home for a few days now. He is doing really well, hes a smart little fella. He goes potty when I say "go potty" or "go poop". He just doesn't let me know when he needs to get out to go potty. So I have to take him MULTIPLE times a day. Hopefully soon he starts to let me know when he needs to go. He only had one accident today.
So far he sits, almost 100% of the time I ask him. Walks great. Loves to play. His energy levels grow daily. He has gained 1 lb. already. I am working on getting him to shake now.
Tennis balls are the coolest toy ever in his eyes :D

I have been applying to jobs, with no success yet. I am still enjoying the time off. Getting alot done around the house, and the extra time with the puppy is definitely a good thing.

Here are some pics and a little video of Aisin.

Have a great day :)

Well, I found this little guy at the Aurora Animal Shelter. He is a 4 month old purebred Boxer puppy. I named him Aisin (a parts division of Toyota) He weighs 34lbs and should weigh about 50lbs. He also has Demodex Mange and Kennel Cough, so is on a ton of meds. He was never in a house until yesterday when I brought him home. He is a lover and I cannot believe anyone could do that to a puppy. He is already learning to sit next to me if we are on a walk and we stop, he lays next to me wherever I am in the house, he walks better than my big trained dogs on a leash and he already has started letting me know when he needs outside for potty. He is a smart little bugger. I cannot wait till he is all healthy again and in top shape.

Right now he is getting Yogurt and Puppy food in large quantity to help build himself back up. Along with his 4 different medications. He is also segregated from our big dogs so they do not catch the Kennel cough. The mange is not contagious though.

I feel lucky to have found him and am glad to have the opportunity to give him the home he deserves. How could you not just love this face?
