We got the green house up, so now we can go get some tomatoes and other plants. We put it on the patio this year and put the table and chairs on the deck.  I think I really like it a lot better. The patio is beautiful, but the rocks are so uneven it was hard to find a spot where the chairs were even.

Took Toby to the vet this morning. We put the crate in the back of the car. No more holding him on my lap!  He is just too strong and won't sit still.

Silly Toby is fascinated with the dishwasher.  I have all I can do to get it loaded with him around "helping".
Then when it is time to unload the clean dishes, he either has to go outside with Daddy or into his crate. Call me picky, but I don't want all those puppy kisses on the clean silverware!  LOL

He is really missing Teagan this week. They have become really good friends.  She blows bubbles for him and he tries to catch them. Then at meal time she likes to hold his bowl for him. Last week I told her Teagan you can't keep helping him eat, because Nana doesn't want to sit on the floor and feed him while you are on vacation in Washington! So the poor little guy is on his own at mealtime this week.

Betsy, Jeff and Teagan left for Washington State on Friday. We have Sage here with us and she has been so upset. She finally ate some food this afternoon. I was ready to go buy some hamburger and make her hamburger and rice to see if that would help, but  when I added a lot of canned food to it she finally ate some lunch and then at dinnertime she had more.  What a worry. I was afraid she was going to get sick.

The weather has finally warmed up and we brought the camper home.  I will get it stocked this week and maybe we can go next weekend or the one after if the weather is good!

Toby is doing wonderful. He is thrilled to be able to get outside in the yard without a leash, although I do still put a leash on him to go potty when I want him to come right back in. We are still working on "come" and don't have it down real good yet. Jen was over today and said she couldn't get over how much he has grown in just the last week.

Having a rather rough week. Toby got his next batch of shots and they really have bothered him. His poor tummy and intestinal track and my poor floor!  Gabe hurt his arm raking and now has cellulitis and it is so itchy and nasty. Going to have to go back to the Dr. tomorrow.

One good thing, my new laptop came and it is fun. Not sure what I think of the new window 8.1. Oh well, I will learn.

I joined the Master Scrapper challenge at Gotta Pixel.  Should be fun.  I had a great time doing it last year.

Spring has finally arrived in the North!  The grass is starting to green up a bit and the daffodils and tulips are peeking up through the barely unthawed ground. Most of the snow is gone in the backyard, although we do still have a couple of hills where the boys shoveled off the roof.  I can't wait to get the camper home and start restocking it.

Toby is growing like a weed and is doing so good. Going to have to invest in a new bed soon. He learns so fast. After the next set of shots I think we will be safe to take him for walks and teach him to follow and walk beside us. I am going to run up and get a new harness for him that will be for walking to protect his neck. We had really injured Maggie's neck with letting her pull too hard walking. I don't want to make that same mistake again.

He really likes his new crate. It is so great to be able to lock him in when we run uptown and know he is safe (and so is the house!).

We have had Toby for two weeks and he is doing just wonderful. Everyone that comes in is just crazy about him and so are we.  He is so smart and such a pleasant little guy. He is pretty well housebroken with only the occasional accident. I am so glad we got him. I still miss my Maggie like crazy and probably always will, but he sure softens the pain.

Teagan only has one month of school left. They are out the middle of May. She has done really good & is starting to enjoy going. It has taken her most of the year to be happy about it.  Next year she will be in preschool 4 and it is mornings - 4 days a week. Should be good for her.  She and Grace are starting to really get along together without competition and fights. It is so nice!. They are both growing.
