Bonte's Life

Oh wow!

It's been a long time. Our life has totally changed. The grandkids used to come over here and there for Mommy to spoil. Now, they are living with us and it is looking like it will be permanent. This upsets me as I do not like sharing my mommy. When the children come to sit by Mommy, I try to get in between them. I used to get aggressive and snap at them, but Mommy wouldn't let me sit with them if I did that. So, I stopped. The grandson and I have always gotten along. The granddaughter and I didn't because she tried to push herself on my, which after showing my teeth and growling didn't make her stop, I would have to snap at her. Mommy didn't get on to me because I did warn her and so did Mommy. I guess the granddaughter must be maturing because she is learning how to be around us chihuahuas. The kids have even learned to keep things put away. Poncho is so blind that he will run into things it they are kept out in the middle of the floor.

My birthday was cool! Mommy and the kids went out to eat pizza and brought me back some crust. It was such a treat!

Mommy is SO busy these days with trying to finish school, getting custody of her grandchildren who have some serious health and emotional problems, and keeping up with her own personal stuff. At least she still makes time just for kissing me, petting me, and snuggling with me. Sometimes, we awaken in the morning cuddling. What a great way to sleep! Hopefully, she will get her thesis done and after the grandson has surgery on Thursday and the granddaughter has auditions for the Nutcracker on Saturday, Mommy will have plenty more time to let me post here on my journal.

Wow, it's been a long time!

Mommy had a hectic semester, but it's over. She only has a short amount of time to breath before she has summer school. The really cool thing is that she only has one class to go and she is almost done!!! She has to finish practicum and then her thesis and she will be finished with her Master's degree. It's been a long hard road, but hopefully, it will be worth it.

Daddy got transferred to Oklahoma! That is such a bummer. Daddy is always wanting to bring me home, but Mommy has the dogs and Daddy keeps the cat. Maybe soon we can all be together.

Mommy loves practicum. She gets to work in the type situation she'll be doing as a living. I am just so glad last semester is over. Mommy took a full load, which included practicum. Then, one of her professors, who was going to teach psychopharmocoloty, decided to teach it in the spring instead of the summer. That put Mommy in a full load, plus an extra class. Now, after her class ends in early July, she will be home much, much more. I like it when she is home as she snuggles with Poncho and I and she plays with us.

She is really worried about Poncho because he has practically gone blind. She gets a little short with me when I forget that he is blind and I jump in his face. I guess little puppies don't think about things like that. Mommy had Daddy bring down Poncho's urn, just in case. He really is getting old. His arthritis is getting so bad. Mommy has to pick him up and put him in bed and when he needs to go potty, he has to let her know so she can pick him up and put him off the bed and down the stairs. Since he cannot see well, she doesn't make him try to guess where the stairs are. He has learned to let her know when he wants back up so she can go get him and bring him back. He makes noises with his body since he isn't a barker like I am. Mommy is trying to teach me not to bark so much. She says that I am the worst to train not to bark so much. I guess some of us are more vocal than others! LOL

Just another day

Mommy is in full-swing of school. She started practicum, which means that she has clients and a little less time for me. But, she is very excited to see Poncho and I when she comes home. Mondays and Thursdays are her long days and she isn't home much at all on those days.

Daddy's mommy died a little over a week ago. Poncho hates traveling, but they went to the funeral. Because there were so many people in the house, we had to stay in the trailer much of the time.

Mommy finally got into her routine, which makes her happier. She made Poncho some dog food yesterday as well our our cheese balls. This is how she sneaks in Poncho's Tri-salts when she gives us our vitamins.

She pets us a lot while she is studying too. We like that a lot. Mommy has been worried about Poncho because he's been acting like he is in pain and does not feel good. She knows that he is getting old and having health problems. I know that will all the deaths in the family, she is not wanting to lose Poncho this year.

Daddy got transferred to Oklahoma. Plus, the contractor really gave them problems. They are going to have to take photos of the damages and things he did not do and then get a lawyer. Mommy and Daddy aren't looking forward to that. Oh well, things are what they are. Sometimes there just is too much stress. I think we need a vacation.

At least Bobby got a ride in NASCAR for this season. Mommy is hoping that she doesn't have to yell and scream so much this year! Bobby has had such a terrible time the past few seasons.
