I feel like a bad doggy mommy - the past 3 months, I've only posted about the baby growing in me and have neglected my fur babies! So here's a post dedicated to my furry darlings:

My sweet Little is just as obsessed with me as I am with him. I know mommas shouldn't have favorites, but, he is our first-born and he's super small and fuzzy and cuddly...
Hubby and I take turns taking the pups out at night - and by "take turns" I mean, I take them out twice a night for 3 nights, and finally on the fourth night when I can't take it anymore, I have to kick him to wake him up and he begrudgingly takes them out. This fourth night has developed a little problem...Little, who follows me everywhere, is taking his love for me to the extreme. He absolutely will not go downstairs with Jonathon. Sadie happily prances along behind him and takes care of business outside, but Little will hold it until morning when he spins in circles til I take him out. Poor pup. He loves me just a little bit too much. It's kinda cute though - I feel so loved!
Crazy Sadie is entering her tween stage. She's just over a year so she's around 11 or 12 human years. This means, she's a brat. A spoiled, rotten, prissy little brat. It's a good thing she's so pretty (I may be a bit biased, but I'm pretty sure she's the prettiest hound dog you ever did see. You can't deny those puppydog eyes and her cute white paws and her huge floppy ears!).
This little miss certainly has a lot goin' on. A few weeks ago, she was playing with Jonathon and they both got a little too wound up. She ended up scratching his eye (on accident of course, she adores her daddy), sending us to the urgent care center and getting him a whole week off work. It was rough. Poor guy was miserable. She felt pretty bad about it too.
Then, earlier this week, I came home to find her playing with a jalapeno. Yes, those really hot peppers, ya know, the ones that make things spicy. She found it in the fresh produce bowl on the counter and chewed off the end, ensuring that she tasted those juices! Apparently, this chick likes her some spicy. She absolutely wouldn't give it to me. Took me 5 minutes to chase her through the house and get it to the trash can. Ridiculous.
Next time, I'll leave a habanero out and see how she likes THAT!
Ha!
And finally...Sadie is obsessed with blankets. She won't lay on the couch unless she is either on or under a blanket - sometimes it takes both. She won't go to her bed until we cover her up with her favorite princess blanket. We actually have to tuck her in. At first, I did it cause I was trying to be a good mommy. But now, she literally will not settle down until she gets her blanket. I've never seen a dog need a security blanket. Jonathon said she's the dog version of Linus (yea, the one from Peanuts).
These are my babies and this is how they greet me every day:

I'm really worried about how they will transition with the new baby. On one hand, they're going to be delighted that I'll be home all day. Though they won't get even close to all my attention, they'll get a whole lot more than they do when both hubby and I are at work all day. I'm not too worried about them being jealous. We can deal with that. However....my dogs are crazy and rambunctious. I won't be able to let baby have tummy time on the open floor with them running around. That means baby's gonna be in pack n' plays or baby gates will have to go up asap or pups will go outside (ha...like that'll work...). So, lots to think and worry about. I'm sure it'll all work out, but, as a worrier by nature, I worry.
That's pretty much all that's up with my furry loves at the moment. And you just can't deny how freaking cute they are...

*none of the above bra pictures were staged - all were taken on different days. They just really love bras.
