So, Nick and I love our bestest friends' (Ashley and Aaron) blog because we feel it keeps us up-to-date on their lives. We live so far away and yet, although I miss them a ton, I at least feel like I'm still a part of their lives. Today I started thinking...I wonder if they feel the same way? I wonder if any of the people we love feel that way? We're so far away and, while we love it here, we really miss our loved ones. So, we're deciding to let go of our pride and originality and copy our friends. We're creating a blog. A copycat blog. We don't want that to be the name, but it will work for the time being until we come up with something better. I really hope this serves to help the people we love feel more connected to us in the same way that Ashley and Aaron's blog does.
So, for you non-Spanish speaking folk out there (that really includes us except for a few choice words that include the ones in this blog post title), our post is called 'the crazy puppy.' If you haven't heard yet, Nick and I are now caretakers for a little, 9-month old puppy in addition to our 2 adorable gerbils, Millie and JBJ. Theodore Edward Von Bearenstine (Ted E. Bear), or Teddy as we call him, came into our lives last Sunday. (For some reason Nick is dead set on adding 'Esquire' to the end of is name, but I hate it, so I'm only reporting that under duress.) He is so wonderful. We got him from a rescue in L.A. who picked him up at the shelter because he was set to be put down and they couldn't let that happen...thank goodness. He was a foreclosure dog and we are still trying to figure out how anyone could give him up. He is the biggest cuddler ever. He was absolutely filthy and stinky when we got him, but after a nice bath, which of course he hated, he was all fresh and clean and just smelling like puppy instead of a combination of puppy and urine. He got really sick from being in the shelter, but is finally starting to feel better after starting regimens of two different antibiotics as well as a extra-strong deworming med.
Well, I hope we can actually discpline ourselves enough to actually keep up doing this. This is a start!

You two are very sweet and rest assured, I will read your blog religiously. Does that mean Nick's personal blog has gone by the wayside?
When in doubt, post more picture of Teddy. He's so dang cute.
No, I am probably going to post dorky and "boyish" things on my blog and common interest things on our collective blog.
By the way, invite landerik22@gmail.com to your blog as well.

Can I just say that I have the cutest granddogs in the whole world? They have touched my heart and I vow to spoil they uncontrollably. Teddy, watch the mail, you and mom will be receiving two boxes with a lot of goodies to enjoy. Nick and Sara, thanks for blogging. It does make me feel closer and more "in the know" on what's happenin' in CA. Mom

Caretakers? Does that mean that you're only temporarily going to have this dog? Cuz that makes me sad.
I'll be linking your blog up to mine, if you don't mind, and that will only be useful info if I ever actually get around to writing in mine again. It's been on my to-do list since...umm...May. :)
Love you guys!
Of course it's not temporary! Nick just doesn't like being 'daddy' - he prefers 'male caretaker' - thinks it's cuter or something. :-)
yay! blog! and yay, teddy! remind me to read your blog, okay? because i want to, but i just suck and stuff. you already knew that. love you!
