Dudley the Bionic Dog

Yes, so I've been a little out of touch...sorry. I've been quite busy attempting to finish up all the things I want to do before heading to Pennsylvania on Sunday. All the while attempting to stay in the Christmas spirit while it's 74 degrees outside! However, thanks to the fact that my office likes to pump out air conditioning in the winter and heat in the summer it's a cool 50 in my office. Mix that with the balsam fir candle I have on the candle warmer and the Christmas music in the background I'm doing pretty good :)

Last weekend I headed up to Brandy's house to help her with Special Olympics on Thursday and then have a wonderful weekend of scrapbooking together. Of course the pup went along, and got to hang out with her new cousin, Dina, who is still in the puppy stage and is a terror...but adorable, so you can't help but love her.

Dina the cute little sister of Dudley...also known as Dina the dinosaur (she looks dinosaur like when she yawns, it's hilarious)

On Friday we were sitting in line at Wendy's when she got a call from John letting her know that Dudley had just jumped out of the car while it was going 45 miles per hour! Yeah, not the best call in the world. So I took her to the vet, and took Dina home (because we had just taken her to the vet for shots before we had gone to Wendy's), while they stayed to have Dudley checked out. As a result of this experience we have determined that Dudley man is some kind of bionic dog! He does have road burn randomly over him, but he did not break one bone, had no internal bleeding (thankfully!), and within 3 hours wanted to play with Kaylinn outside. Seriously, it was out of control! So, thankfully Dudley is just fine, although we minimized his playing to attempt to force him to 'recover'.

As a result Kaylinn had only Dina to play with, which had it's pros and cons. The pro was that Dina was smaller than her and so she could totally outrun her. Another pro was that Dina has refused to learn what the electric fence is, so she would follow Kaylinn all over the place, whereas Dudley stays within the fence line. The con was that Dina was definitely not Dudley, and anyone who is not Dudley is not good enough for Kaylinn. She did warm up to her a bit, and by the end of the weekend even let her lay next to her :) It was quite entertaining.
