Home for the weekend!!!!

So we went home this weekend which was muy exciting for me!!!! I was kind of stressed because we were going to leave Friday after Nick got off of work, drive to Orlando to pick up Katie and then drive the rest of the way to Hollywood which would have put us there at around midnight. Nick wasn't feeling well on Wednesday and Thursday so he decided to take off work on Friday! yea! And then to make it even better, when he came home Thursday night (he had to go to a PTO meeting) he said why don't we drive to Orlando now?! So needless to say at 8:30 at night we packed in about five minutes and started the four hour drive to Katie's apartment. We slept, got up and drove to Hollywood and were there Friday by the time my mom came home for lunch!

The dogs were super excited to see us. Wolfie didn't even know who Nick was at first, he kind of stared at him with that blank look on his face until Nick spoke and then I think he realized who he was because Wolfie started jumping all over Nick! Well, as much jumping as Wolfie does. Minnie is doing well, she has her own crate with her memory foam mattress and her own sheets and blankets, her purple horsey and her own water bowl (which Rosie likes to stick her head in Minnie's crate and drink). She is still on semi-bedrest, she gets treated like a little princess (Katie even made her a princess sign for her crate) and she gets to sit on the couch with mom and dad when no one else is allowed. She is able to walk around now as long as she doesn't run or play so she seems to like that. As far as her back is concerned, she seems to be comfortable. She's not arching up like she was doing before and she doesn't have that pitiful 'i'm in pain' look. The other dogs are doing well, Daisey's tongue is still out and she's still chasing Rosie, Wolfie is still guarding all the doors, Glyniss is still crazy, and Rosie is still counting the days until she's an only child again.

When we got home, my mom, Katie and I went to Glamour shots to use up a coupon mom had. It was interesting to say the least. The people were rude but it was fun getting our make up done, taking the pictures and then being sarcastic about how they came out and how long it took. We went out to Grandma and Grandpa's that night to see them and got to hear all about Grandpa's bruises on his leg (he fell and got kind of banged up but he's doing ok now, no worries). On Saturday we stayed home, shaved Wolfie and Daisey (she tried to bite me, and she actually did bite Katie!), helped mom clean and cook for the BBQ that night. What started out to be a small get together turned into a full out party. It was great, we got to see family and friends and my dance girls. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend, it was fierce (haha). Can't wait to be in Orlando in two weeks!
