We have passed a major milestone in the Karcher household. Griffin has slept away from us for the first time ever! In my opinion, it should have happened 3 years ago, but hey, what do I know? Ryan and I had planned a night out and my mother in law babysat for us. She offered to let him spend the night and I jumped on it. Hell yeah, he can spend the night! She did warn me that if he wouldn't sleep, that I would probably be getting a call to come pick him up. Well guess what? We didn't get a call. He loved it and had a great time, and so did we!

I've been meaning to do a post about some of the funny stuff that Griffin has been saying lately. It's not surprising that now that I finally sit down to write it, I can't remember most of it. The biggest thing is "That's Disgusting!". Right now every time there is something that he doesn't want to eat, he calls it disgusting. Then he says everything smells. When you ask him what it smells like, his answer is always either poop or skunk. He is such a boy! Today in the car, he told me that his tools are a "piece of junk". He said that he works hard, but his tools are all junk. I don't even know where he got that from. There's never a dull moment.

Now we'll be adding a new dog to our crazy mix. Yes, I got my way! A friend of mine is getting her 2ND King Charles Spaniel puppy next month. In talking to the breeder she found out that the breeder has a 14 month old that she needs to find a home for. There is nothing wrong with the dog. The owners lost their job and home and couldn't keep him. Per the contract that the breeder has the buyers sign, she gets first dibs if they have to get rid of the dog. So she took him back, and my friend immediately thought of me because she knows that I LOVE Cavaliers. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. After some back and forth with Ryan, and a couple of talks with the breeder, I've decided to get him. His name is Reuben, and he's crate trained, house broken, and an all around good little guy (only 16 lbs). He's in Tampa though, so arrangements have to be made to ship him up here. I'm calling the breeder tomorrow to get it started.
