Damn allergies!

I have a secret. I saw CP cry. Like, for reals.

CP ordered Marley and Me from Blockbuster, and before the movie even started I said, “I don’t want to watch this because I know that I am going to cry.” But CP put it in anyway.

I don’t think that I am giving anything away by telling you guys that even though the movie wasn’t that good, I bawled my eyes out. It didn’t matter that I knew what was coming. To my surprise, when I looked over at CP? His allergies were acting up too! We finished off the box of Kleenex in our living room and I had to go to the bathroom for toilet paper reinforcements.

I was amazed to see the impenetrable wall of CP break down. He even said that he is worried about Fuzzy Britches getting old (as am I). FB will be six in January and for a big dog? That’s getting up there in years. We would hope to have another two to four years or so with her? Right now she is still like a puppy as Bernese Mtn Dogs don’t really ever lose their goofiness….it’s part of their charm. So it’s hard to think of a day where she will slow down, walk slower, etc. Especially because she is FINALLY at her goal weight.

I don’t want to think about a future without FB, so I will enjoy however long we have with her. I won’t lie, losing her is going to be tough. If I cry over a dog in the movies, believe me I will be heartbroken over the loss of FB. It took me a few years to get over the loss of our black lab Toby who we had since I was in eighth grade.

But for now, I celebrate our awesome dog that is MUCH more well-behaved than Marley.


Check out her new whiskey barrel for the wedding (sorry about the crazy eyes- it’s from the flash on my Blackberry)! We aren’t sure if we are going to be able to break it out during the reception due to NH liquor laws, but maybe at the after party? We are thinking that rum would be the best spirit to put in it as everyone likes rum…. :-)
