Thanks, Brenda, for all the great pictures!

This time he gets terrified by Mom blowing her nose.
Thanks again, Brenda!

Nice Blonde Joke …
… I got from Angie today 
An attractive blonde from Dublin arrived at the casino and bet twenty
thousand dollars on a single roll of the dice. She said, ‘I hope you don’t
mind, but I feel much luckier when I’m completely nude.’
With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and yelled,
‘Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!’
As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed ‘YES, YES, I
WON, I WON!’
She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her
clothes and quickly departed. The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded.
Finally, one of them asked, ‘What did she roll?’ The other answered, ‘I
don’t know – I thought you were watching.’
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Not all Irish are stupid; not all blondes are dumb; but all men are men.
Welcome Jasper!
Last night 10pm our time little Jasper David Krygowski was born. All went well and we are so happy for Brenda and Jim!
And here’s the new earthling:
Welcome, Jasper!
Mia
Although this blog might make it seem like we don’t have a care in the world, we of course have our worries and sorrows just like everybody else.
It’s just easier to report the pleasant things this way.
Anyway, today we’ve got not so nice news – but they are really not so bad either. We’re trying to look at the bright side.
As many of you know we’ve been having some problems with Mia and Joey as both of them already had quite a few behavioral issues when we adopted them from the rescue organisation.
These only turned into real problems though from the time when Meli was pregnant with Erik. Especially Mia became overprotective and even bit people (including a kid) on our walks. When she almost bit another child a few weeks ago we had to make the decision to find another home for her.
With a child – and soon two – we simply cannot help her overcome her “issues”.
It really is very sad as Mia is a fantastic dog – she is so loving, intelligent and fun and really great with Erik – although he often gives her a very hard time!
Well, as difficult as it was placing an ad and trying to find someone who could be right for her (and she for them) we are now very happy to have found a home for her that seems perfect.
The very nice couple lives in Plettenberg Bay (6 hours drive from CT). They already have a German Shepherd who was also rescued with serious behavioral problems 10 years ago, so they know about dogs with issues.
Although they stay in Plett, they also have a farm which we are sure Mia will LOVE to explore. And according to Mia’s new master she will be spoilt “rotten” – with her own “Boudoir le pettit femme”, food topped with lamb and gravy as well as two walks a day.
Oh – and no annoying little kids chasing her around the house!
This sounds to us like Mia will be moving to doggie heaven and that sure makes us feel much better about parting from her!!
From our side we will be keeping Joey – his problems are more annoying than worrying If it stays that way we will be his retirement home.
We think it will be good having only one dog when Lilly arrives. On the long run we are looking to get another one though as we would like a proper canine playmate for the kids as well as a guard dog; a trainable dog that we can take places and let off the lead.
This means that we will be getting a pure bred puppy at some stage in the next couple of month – depending on how things go with Lilly of course.
This is the state of events in a nutshell; but first things first.
Saturday Mia will be picked up by her new owner.
After that we will be busy getting everything ready for our little girl!!
On the 11th Lilly will be in our arms (if she doesn’t decide to come earlier … our OB will be out of town the days before and that reminded us a lot of when Erik was born …);
and then we will have to post lots and lots of Lilly pictures (and Erik ones too of course).
And THEN we will see about another dog.
Lots of love from the Rabies
Of Course We Only Won Due To …
… Erik’s incredible support!
The stronger opponent called for additional pieces of fan-gear.
The other guys were useless.
Pff.
Just not the right spirit.
