Cooking with Michael

Michael has been watching cooking shows with David, and it shows.

Michael got a play kitchen for Christmas, and let's just say...his cooking is experimental.

Did you hear what he offered me?

"Pizza salad coconut ketchup with peanut butter."

Delicious!

Welcome Diego!

David opened up the discussion on getting a dog back in December. He suggested a small dog, suggesting a schnauzer. He left the timing up to me (suggesting 'after the new year').

I seized on the moment and found a local ad for some puppies.

The ad began something like: "I have two schnauzer chiweenie mix puppies...sounds awful, I know. But they are really cute!" After seeing a pic of the male puppy, I was hooked...

A few weeks ago, I went into Beaumont for a shop and came back with a puppy. Haha! I was in contact with the mother dog's owner, and she invited me to see the pup. She said that he was ready to go, so I decided to bring him home. Because when I saw him...he was so tiny, so cute...

As I pulled into the driveway, I called David and told him to bring Michael outside. I don't know if David knew what was coming, but surprise! Puppy!

Michael was very excited! He almost immediately came up with the name Diego, and they were fast friends. (Dog's full name is Sir Diego.)

Diego has the face of a schnauzer, the body of a daschund, and the tail of a chihuahua. He was 2.4 lbs. when I took him to the vet for a checkup. His little legs barely lift his body off the floor. So tiny! He has grown a bit in the past couple weeks...not much though!

I have been heartbroken that Rogue has not returned, and we have no information on her. She will  have a place in our family if we ever get a call that she has been found...
