I know I completed vanished off the face of the Earth, but I have a valid excuse. We got a puppy! Two weeks ago, on a Saturday, the hubby and I drove three hours to Seattle to pick up Olive. She's a purebred Hungarian Vizsla and pretty stinkin cute, which is good for her, since i'm not too thrilled about getting up with her at 6 am every morning. My life now consists of cleaning up pee and poop, making sure she's not destroying my house or getting into something that could hurt her, feeding her, playing with her, and breaking up wrestling matches with the boys. Hmmmm, I guess you can say that not much has changed!
I feel terrible that I haven't been keeping up with this blog. It's not that I had so much more extra time last year to post, but I didn't have a dog, and I also wasn't homeschooling a Kindergartener. I'm realizing that I just can't do it all. I have five kids. Sometimes I forget that. Okay, no I don't, but I compare myself to other bloggers who don't have five kids and I really shouldn't do that. I'm not saying i'm going to stop writing on Life On Peanut Layne. Nope, sorry you can't get rid of me that easily. I just need to cut myself a break, while I try to figure out a realistic routine that doesn't involve me having a nervous breakdown where I find myself curled up in a ball on my dog pee stained rug.

Since this is our first dog, I decided to start a dog blog journaling our dog owning experiences. A dog blog. Nerd alert! Yes, I could just use this blog, but I totally get that not everyone wants to read about my dog. I have never been a dog person, until we got Olive and now i'm slightly obsessed with her. Well, okay...I did have a brief moment of regret the other morning when I was running seriously late dropping my daughter off at school and I ran back in my room to grab my jacket and I stepped in a huge, steaming pile of fresh dog poop...and I was barefoot.
And in case you don't feel like clicking on the link, this is our Olive.
She's a keeper...even though she poops on my floor.
