The Dog Who Hates Hugs

Don't you just want to hug this little muffin???

Well, forget about it because he's not about to let you hug him. As a matter of fact, don't even think about hugging someone else either because he hates that too. That's right: Bruce Wayne is the dog who hates hugs.

Don't get me wrong, he loves snuggling...

...and he gives great kisses...

...but when it comes to hugs, he'll do just about anything to get away. He doesn't even mind being handled for baths, nail trims, or having his paws wiped. He just can't stand being hugged. Maybe he just thinks it's a fun game to play keep-away with his affections.  Or maybe he associates them with his least favorite thing of all: saying goodbye. If M and I even try to hug each other he will whine and jump up and throw a fit. If he had it his way, mom would never leave the house and he could snuggle with her whenever he wished.  I guess that's what you get when you work from home and spoil your kids rotten!

Note to self: next time you get a puppy, try to resist it's 

snuggling charms for AT LEAST 1 hour a day.  

Lazy, Crazy, May!

Have you ever started to feel really lazy, then decided to start a bunch of projects all at once with the hopes that at least one of them would motivate you to get off your butt and start feeling useful? And then a couple months later you start wondering how life got so uncontrollably busy all of a sudden and start having anxiety attacks? And as you sit down and list all of the things that need to get done you find it really hard to cross any of them off because you've become completely overwhelmed? And then you realize that it is already almost May?? Please, somebody tell me I am not the only one...

In an attempt to clear some of the clutter out of my brain and cross one of the things off of my 5-page "to do" list, I am writing this blog post! However, I'm having trouble figuring out what it's about, and can't seem to come up with any good ideas on my own...so I'm asking you for suggestions on what to write about next. Just leave your questions in the comments below and I promise to write a real post soon. In the meantime, here is an adorable picture of the Meat Head:

Call me a cheater, but I am totally crossing "write blog post" off of my list.  I can't wait to hear your suggestions for my next post...have a super week!

Flashback Monday: Before Alfred was Mine

I decided I could manage a lazy post for you to start off this crazy, busy week....here's a video montage of Sir Alfred when he was still looking for a forever home. Guess he did a good enough job being adorable to convince M and I to keep him. Enjoy!
