My absence, explained.
I have been without internet, television, or home phone since last Thursday! I have had a chance to check in on Janet's blog from work, but not much else!
Here's Why:
Lizzie, my adorable/loving/wonderful puppy chewed through the cat-5 cable outside from the phone box. That one line had all of my connection to the outside world! I can't really get that mad though, because it was really poorly installed and just laying across my back deck. Plus, she was outside while I was sleeping after work one morning. It must have been more fun than all of her chew toys and sticks. It doesn't have electricity, so she at least couldn't get hurt. Luckily, it got fixed today, so I am here catching up on all things DK. Funny story, I don't know who fixed it....I hadn't reported it to AT&T and my landlord is saying he didn't do it. So thank you mystery cable-man.
Lizze was 4 months old on April 2, and only 18 pounds (but she's eating lots). Jason (DBF) took her to the vet yesterday for 2 more shots and a check-up. She's healthy!!! She also will be getting spayed at 6 months old. She has 4 adult teeth on bottom and her 2 top front teeth in! She knows sit, paw, lay down, and has some stay (I can take about 4-5 steps away from her). We start Puppy Classes in early May! We'll probably be the oldest in the class, but hopefully they'll let us in. I just wanted to make sure the Parvo was totally out of her system so she's not contagious to the other puppies.
No new pictures yet; I've been a lazy Mommy.
ADDENDUM: My doorbell rang this morning, I wake up to find the AT&T man standing there! I found my mystery cable -man! My Hero! Then he proceeds to tell me that when Lizzie chewed my little insignificant wire, she managed to cut service to the WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD!!! For almost a week!!!!!! (I hadn't reported it, figured I'd get my landlord to fix it). So they have been checking everyone and finally went to the main box and unlpugged everyone's service...then started plugging them back in one by one and when they got to mine, it shut everyone down again! It's not totally her fault, since it wasn't installed right nor grounded. But still, I kinda feel bad that my whole neighborhood has been without tv/phone/internet thanks to my little Lizzard. HEHE! That wins the prize for good story this morning!
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!

P.S. She has now moved onto all of the birch trees we have planted. When it gets really windy here (which as you know is almost always) she seems to want to play with them when they bow down towards the ground then she grabs ahold of them and chews them off. We have replaced one 3 times and the third one has 4 twigs comong out of the ground about 1 foot high. We are going to plant a bigger tree. Has Lizzie attempted this yet??

Hi Missi, Well if it makes you feel any better Lizzie's relative "Molly" did the same exact thing to our direct tv cable. We came home sat down to watch tv only to find it wasn't working, my husband went outside to see what was going on and she had chewed the wire that the had also not installed correctly and was left hanging down. Maybe it runs in their family bloodline (ha,ha).

Glad you are back! What a wonderful puppy - she just wanted your full time attention - no DK for you, she made sure of that. Boy, did she ever! The cable gods decided it was enough punishment for you - no more naps without her!!

Missi, thanks for sharing your story. I am glad you have some cable angel out there. Hopefully he/she got it off of your deck so that it won't get eaten again! I, also, want to tell you that I connected to your page and had a hard time getting off because I just wanted to listen to the music. Very fun! Suck your visitors in and keep them there with your music. Now if only I could get some on my page!!! Betsy
