Mommy Badge of Honor

Another rare sunny day meant another wonderfully long vitamin D extravaganza! I swear Boomer has a weather meter in the tip of his tail.

"Sunshine? SUNSHINE!!!!" *race from couch, to window, to couch, to back door, pause to bark, repeat*

I was happy to oblige. I haven't gotten much exercise this month due to weather, rain, and my body adjusting to this new way of eating. I used to hit the gym every night, but with Josh stressed out an all, I'd rather spend time loafing on the couch with him than the stair master. However, I hope that will soon change.

This meter also triggers the "insta-shed" mechanism. I don't mind dog fur. In fact, I really don't notice it. If anything, it is a mommy-puppy badge of honor. It tells the world that yes, I'm the one who cleans up the puppy puke when Boomer gets sick, I am the one who he barks at when he is hungry, I am the first one he runs to when we come home, I am the one who wipes his doggy butt after he has eaten one too many chewsticks, I am the one who picks up the shredded laundry sheets, I am the one who makes sure he is well exercised, and I am the the one who's face gets climbed on when it's rainy outside and he's bored. Unfortunately, Josh doesn't see it this way and so he follows me around the house with a roller tape.

Owl is his favorite toy.

Boomer is also getting his big boy teeth in, and unfortunately, they are coming in all over and in all the wrong places. I checked his mouth this morning to find one big boy tooth growing behind a baby tooth.  This meant even more play time with rope and owl until I saw it fly out of his mouth. Now if I could just get the rotting one out. :/
