Video: The Bear and The Bumblebee

January 15, 2008 SugarPets

Ruffy is nearly 6, but in dog years, that’s like 342. She’s generally a bit of a bag, complete with a thyroid that needs a tune up and a disdain for reality t.v. Mylie has taken years off of Ruffy’s life. The first day was rather interesting, as Ruffy followed Mylie around with her nose up Mylie’s butt 97% of the time. The other 3% was spent growling at this new creature if it got too close to her food dish.

By day two, the pair were inseperable, but that wasn’t exactly Ruffy’s doing. She had enough butt sniffing and was pooped from not getting her 16 naps the day before. She acted like a bear who was busy hibernating and Mylie was very much a pest. Naturally, being a puppy and all, she wanted to play with the bear.

Mylie acts like a bumblebee, constantly circling Ruffy, trying to bite her paws and ears, yelping “play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with me play with meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

Finally, yesterday, Ruffy humoured Mylie by lifting her paw half-heartedly and in slow motion, and slumping it down on the little dog. Mylie loved it and flipped on her back for the 800th time to let Ruffy smell her butt. Good times.

There’s nothing in the world though, like chewing on your little sister’s head to show you how much you love her:

Dying From The Explosion of My Heart

January 12, 2008 Sugarpants Family

Holy Hannah Montana, you guys are all good guessers and one of you got all three guesses right! (I totally need to think of a prize for that person.)

The first of the 3 Major Things happening to the Sugarpants Family happened this afternoon.

Since November, we have been looking at getting an addition to the family. I’m proud to say that the male to female ratio in this house has been equalized. Ruffy and I were feeling a little outnumbered.

This was especially important to me, having lost my boys as Leafs fans, to my husband’s bribes. See, all my guys are Habs fans now. Dylan was brainwashed converted at 3 and I never had a shot with Thomas.

We’ve adopted a little girl.

She arrived this afternoon:
