It Is Almost Time for Thanksgiving - Get Ready!
I hope you all are having a great fall. I am excited for Thanksgiving. Not only for the 4 day weekend and great food, but I am excited to spend time with family :-)
I will be visiting Mike's family for Thanksgiving. We are driving about 6 hours away and will get to take our pups to hang out with Mike's brothers pup. They got along pretty well last time, so I am sure they will have fun.
Ender keeps having tummy problems, and we are pretty sure it is just allergies, but can never be sure. I wish he could just tell us what was wrong :-(
What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

It Has Been Awhile
It has definitely been awhile since I updated. Sorry everyone. Life has been really busy and I have been spending all my free time trying to enjoy Austin.
I have been here about 5.5 months and am still loving it. I have a great job, I am making friends, I love the natural beauty of the area and the fun stuff that always seems to be happening around. The only physical thing I miss (aside from friends and family) is actually Trader Joes. haha.
Mike is doing well in school. Right now he is really busy writing 2 30 page papers.
Work is going great for me. The job is everything I love about the career I chose for myself. The co-workers are great, as well as the boss. I am also on the company kickball team and for the first time on Wednesday night we won! haha
Emily and Ender are doing great. Ender has scared as a few times with signs of being sick. We have determined it is mostly food allergies. We put them on some holistic style dog food we found at Whole Foods. Has has been doing better since. Too bad the food is a little more expensive then we are used to.
My camera is broken so I don't have many pictures to update you with. When I get a new one I will try to get a lot of pictures all the time of everything going on. For now you just get pictures of cute puppies.
I hope you all are doing amazing!

Dog Products - A Day at the Spa
Dog Products - A Day at the Spa
Don’t ask me why, but I was looking on some dog websites today and saw that there are actual canine spa lines. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, but it does seem pretty funny to me, especially since I do not even buy spa line products for myself. But after looking at a few sites I did see some good dog products that my dogs may actually need. Having Westie's I am pretty familiar with dog's itchy skin so having some dog products to fix this is definitely a help. I have always used the dog shampoo made for itchy skin at Petco, but I guess if I want more variety I can give my dogs some specialty shampoo to get rid of their itchy skin and perhaps even pamper them.
A lot of these sorts of sites not only have dog shampoo but they also have "fur butter" which is essentially a deep conditioner for their sensitive skin. They also have some insect sprays which are pretty useful in Austin, since there are mosquitoes and fleas everywhere it seems. They even have breath spray, which luckily is not something my dogs need for the most part. But I guess if you need to cover the smell up when guests visit it might be a good idea. They also have stuff to help get rid of your dogs nasty smells, but I guess if you pamper your dog enough with these products you won’t even need that stuff. Hmmm. That is an interesting selling point.
I think I might consider this sort of stuff if their skin conditions get worse, but for now they are getting the basics, like I get for me. But I have heard from several of my readers who say their dogs have terrible skin conditions so I thought you might be interested in these dog products.
Have a great day!!

Bull Creek Dog Park
If you can believe it, Ender does this all the time in this same spot. Most people are in awe of dogs pictured in this picture doing it, but with Ender they just laugh at him. He is kind of the laughing stock at the park because he thinks he is a big dog and plays like one. haha.
Bull Creek Dog Park
The water is deep here and only labs and golden's seem to go into to retrieve things. haha. I suppose others do as well, but Ender and Emily want nothing to do with water that deep. heh.
Waterfall at Bull Creek Dog Park
The waterfall right now does not look like this, but I am sure once the drought is over it might just get back to this ;-)
Austin Bull Creek
This is part of the creek that the dogs go to in Austin. This is where Emily loves it the most because she can touch the water but not have to full submerge into it. hahah.
Lola the Bull Terrier
I see a bull terrier puppy when I go running at town lake all the time. it is so freaking adorable. For some reason I always forget the real name of the breed and just call it the Target dog. Oops.
It's Been Awhile...
So why not give you a cute little pup pic?
Life in Austin has been fantastic. Mike and I have found a dog park here that has a waterfall, and allows the pups to jump in a creek and play around in the water. Ender and Emily love it. We went there this weekend and last. I want to go every day but its 10 miles away. Oh well.
At this other dog park area they can jump into the river. Here ender and emily are too wussy for it though. But Emily has found a bat and a snake there already. She likes the find the most dangerously animals possible. Geesh.
In other news, I love my new job and I love where I live. I am doing things a lot more than I used to and I really feel like a new person. I really feel at home here. :-)

I've Moved!!
The reason I haven't written in a LONG time is because I have been ridiculously busy getting a plan together and a solution to move to Austin, Texas. Mike got into the film grad school program at UT Austin and so we had to make a plan to move. It was hush hush for awhile due to the job situation, but now that I am officially here, there is nothing to be quiet about.
We got into Austin on June 3rd and have been loving every second of it. I love my new job, my new place and I LOVE the area where I live. There are a ton of outdoor trails nearby, ones that I love to run at and ones the dogs love to go on. We have been going on a ton of walks, or hikes rather with the dogs. They have even ventured into some of the lakes, like the one pictured abobe which is really close to where we live.
Do any of you live in Austin, Texas? If so, want to hang out with me and my pups? :-)

British Bull Dog
Isn't this British Bull Dog adorable! Speaking of British dogs, do any of you live in the UK area and looking for pet insurance? I found a great site featuring pet insurance services for pet owners. Here you can compare the best insurance for pets online in minutes. The insurance is not just for dogs, but for all pets, including cats, horses, rabbits, snakes, etc. This compares whether the pet insurance covers vet fees, advertising for lost pet, death by accident or loss or theft of animal. This can definitely come in handy if you have dogs like mine who seem to get into trouble pretty often.
Do any of you already have pet insurance for your pups? I know my brother does for his dogs, but I do not have any for my pups yet. Ender will probably not be considered because he had parvo and well we just never got around to getting it for Emily. I think I might just check this out though, for pet insurance in the US.
There is also another site run by the same website owner where you can compare rates on credit cards. I am not an advocate for getting credit cards, but if you need to get one to help build up your credit you may as well check this out for the best credit card rates.
