My Kids

It's been quite awhile since I've been here.  I've been side-tracked a little with life's craziness.

Recently I've been having days where I can just tear my hair out because of all the attention that Lucy is demanding.  I know a one year, three month old Vizsla is high energy and very needy...always in your face.  Haha  Then I wonder was Ralphie like this at this age?  Was he always under my feet and consuming almost every minute of my time?  I didn't think so.  But then I went back to my past blog posts when Ralphie was a one year and 3 month old boy.

Oh yes he was that crazy dog as Lucy is now.  How I forgot about Ralphie pouncing on poor little Ollie, my then Yorkie.   How I forgot about Ralphie pulling me down to the ground tearing my rotator cuff.  How I forgot his craziness at the dog park.  How I forgot Ralphie's humping days.  How I forgot how Ralphie would soak in mud puddles.  How I forgot how he wanted every minute of my time.  Now Ralphie has slowed down as he approaches 4 years old.  But Lucy is filling those young shoes that Ralphie has left behind.  After reading my past posts I now realize Lucy is a crazy Vizsla but not nearly as crazy as Ralphie was.

I just need to put my crazy days on a back burner, take a deep breath and just simply enjoy Lucy, her youth, her sweetness, her friskiness and enjoy Ralphie, his cuddliness, his calmness, his days when he tries to be a puppy again.  My gingers are my kids!
