Easter Decorations

On a much lighter note than my last post, here are my Easter decorations that I have up.

I haven't had any visitors since I set everything up and I will probably take them down soon, so I thought I should at least post some pictures! Enjoy!

"Sick as a Dog"

I now understand the meaning behind this phrase because my dog has been so sick for the past few days. I know that she isn't the sickest that a dog can be, but I have had enough. I just feel so bad for her because I can't imagine how she feels. I can say that I am miserable from dealing with this for the past two days, but she is probably extremely miserable. I won't go into too much gory detail, but it all started on Friday morning when she decided to eat part of a bar of soap. Now, I take partial responsibility for this because I left the linen closet door open while I was taking a shower. While I was showering, Leiya dug through the closet and found herself a little "treat"...once I discovered what was going on, she had already ingested quite a bit of the soap. Since then, I have been cleaning up vomit and feces like it is my job. My vet recommended giving her some plain yogurt with her food so I am hoping that it starts to firm up her stools and soon! I can't handle this for very much longer. I have had to keep her locked up in the bathroom with towels all over the floor so that she doesn't make a mess of the carpet. Of course she hates to be locked up all my herself so I took a two hour nap on the bathroom floor with her today so that she wouldn't be so upset (and yes, this is how I have spent the majority of my Easter Sunday). She seems to be feeling a little better now, but we are making trips outside every 20 minutes or so. Leiya did get an Easter basket today, but unfortunately she doesn't get to have any of her treats until she is all better. If only I could bribe her to get better!

Happy Easter or Merry Christmas??

I was very surprised this morning to awaken and find that it had snowed overnight and was still snowing! I type an exclamation point as though I am very excited about the snow, but the truth is that I am so over snow right now. It is April for crying out loud...and for that matter it is Easter and we are supposed to be able to wear cute spring dresses and strappy sandles to Church. Well, I pulled out my winter coat, hat, and snowboots for Church today. There is quite a bit of snow on the ground, but it has stopped snowing (for now anyway). Knowing how the weather works here in Colorado, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the sun came out and it was 70 degrees tomorrow. We'll see I guess! Happy Easter to everyone whether the sun in shining or the snow is blowing!!
