we finally made it to the beach

We have been trying forever to go to the beach with the pups but our schedules either didn't match up or the weather wasn't playing along or we were just to tired. But today we made it! Grumpy took a nap after work so we didn't head out until about 6pm. But it worked out well we met up with my buddy that was fixing my little laptop and got that. And then it was of to the beach.

Here are the pups in the car they love going for rides. sassy looks like she is stoned or something in the first one. I have no idea what the hell happened to my cam all my pictures after the ones in the car were almost black. The camera program let me enlight them but its still not that great. However the shot was just to cute. Of course Mac wouldn't even go near the water. After the swim we went for a walk down the Promenade. I took my phone for the pictures to be sure we had some in case a cute shot presented itself and sure enough ...
Awww aren't they cute????

Here is Grumpy with his girls. I am glad we finally made it to the beach but especially after last night. I hadn't seen Grumpy all day yesterday so after homework I decided to stay up till he got home from the bar. I asked him how is night went and he said okay aside from a guy getting shot outside the bar. He said he was about to go out and tell some people they couldn't hang out on that sidewalk when he heard what he thought were fire crackers and then a car drove off. One dude got shot 3 times in his leg. Arg I can't wait till he can get out of that bar that neighbor hood is trouble. When he got back from the store he said one of the EMT's stopped by and said there were 3 more shootings in that area in a matter of 2 hours.

scary morning

My heart is still racing what a morning. I finally managed to find a new family for my house guest and we were getting ready to leave the house when she went over to say bye to Sassy.

(Grumpy and Sassy)

Sassy is our lab mix that we got from the pound about a year ago. She had been taking away from a family that beat and starved her.

She was fine with us after the first month but this morning when the girl went to pet her while she was at her food dish she bit her. Granted you should never approach an animal while its near its food but thats still no comfort to me right now.

Sassy got her pretty good on the index finger right above the nail and there was blood dripping from it. I got her cleaned up and bandaged her up but she was pretty shocked and so was I. I put Sassy back in her cage and then we had to run to catch her train.

I just called her and she says her finger is feeling much better but I am still sad. Grumpy and I will consult with a trainer and see if we can work with Sassy but it makes me sad to think that we may not be able to keep her. She is usually such a loving dog but we want kids and I am sure we will have more house guests. For now we will warn everyone to stay away from Sassy since she bites.
