Puppy Names

The afternoon the puppies were born I called Andrina to let her know. The conversation went like this:

Andrina: Hello?
Me: Hello Andrina, this is Auntie Audrey.
Andrina: Hi.
Me: Guess what!
Andrina: what.
Me: No, really guess!
Andrina: uuuhm, I don't know!
Me: Opie had her puppies this morning!
Andrina: OH!
Andrina: MOM! OPIE HAD HER PUPPIES!
Andrina: When can I come see them?
Me: I don't know yet, I will have to talk to your mommy.
Andrina: What are their names?
Me: I don't know, how about you name them!

And there you have it.
Andrina has named the puppies.
(all but fat head, I named him.. mostly because he has a fat head, but also because my grandpa bob used to call us that)


They are also in the order of birth.
So adorable.

Want one?

we're gunna get there soon

I am so am so amazing.
Seriously.

Andrew's email account at St. Cloud state was being deleted due to the fact he is no longer a student there. So we had to create a new one. With the upcoming wedding and all we decided we would just create a joint email account... mostly because I am sick of my old one. It was great in high school and all, but lets grow up now.

It was late, I had to work the next day.. I was staying up.. we had just made a run to the cities (and all day affair) got our engagement photos done (AMAZING)..
I was pretty pooped, but we HAD to get it done. His account was being deleted that very next day.
Mind you we had few weeks notice..

I was super excited, and got ahead of myself..
again, I was tired.

So now we have two accounts. One because we had already emailed a very important person and we will deal with deleting it later. And the second one because I screwed up the first one.

ameister@gmail

It works for both of us (Andrew, Audrey in case you didn't get it!)
of course that was not available.
so we added numbers...
I had the perfect ones in mind. The upcoming wedding date. Month and Year.
Like I said.
I . Am. Awesome.
0530
perfect right?!?

except

we defiantly ARE NOT getting married in 21 days.
guess who didn't figure this out until my lovely mother pointed it out to me the next morning?
yep.
BOTH of us. SAD.
I had already created and AWESOME new blog and everything.
ameisters.blogspot.com
I loved it.
I had to delete it.
It was connected to the wrong email account.
An email account that is being deleted ASAP.
Oy.
I thought that by deleting it I would have released the URL into the internet heavens free to be used again by me. Guess again!

I hope that when we delete the wrong email account that THEN I will be able to use that. Until then I will continue on this. One would say that I could just come up with another one. Nope.
 I. Don't. Want. To.
Most likely it will come down to me waiting until I delete the email, trying it again, and failing. Then and only then will I accept defeat and come up with something stupid. Blog.com suggested andrewandaudrey.blogspot.com. No Thank You. I could do aameister.blogspot.com and sound like we are recovering alcoholics. No Thank You. I really don't want numbers. oy.
Maybe if it doesn't I can make a plea to the internet blogging gods to release the URL and give it back to me.
maybe.
Until then I will keep updating you on our oh so wonderful lives.

Here is one for you.
Sit back and enjoy.

May 18th 2011
Andrew and I spent the later part of the day hanging out in St.Cloud, something we have not done in a LONG time. If we are not working, we are not driving anywhere. Unless of course it is for wedding stuff or a cute little Gross baby.
So for us to go into St. Cloud to just hang out is kinda a big deal.
We packed up Roque and a very pregnant Opie and headed off.
After a quick stop at the vet (a few follow up questions regarding Roque) we were off!
First stop,
FOOD.
After working an overnight, and going straight to bed until noon, showering and getting ready, a quick nap in the car, I was STARVING.
Jimmy Johns was lunch of choice and since it was an amazingly beautiful day we headed to Whitney park to walk the dogs.
We headed to my work to visit some friends and patients then headed of to the only stores that allowed pets. Petco and Petsmart. My two favorite places.
We were on the hunt for some halters for our awesome dogs. They pull to the point of hacking.
Right after we headed to Calvary Frisbee golf course with our friend Jerry.
18 holes with lots of sunshine and happiness.
Oh and walking.
Lots and lots of walking.
Remember how Opie is Prego?
She did great. Walked all but like 10 feet.
Then we went to dinner.
They sat in the car.

Why did I tell you about my whole day.
so I can tell you this...
as a result....

5 puppies.
FIVE!
two girls
three boys
...
I think it may have been all that walking.
not but 5 hours after we arrived safely home Opie started panting like crazy.
We walked those babies right out of her.
No worries.
She was a bit overdue.

We thought she would not allow Roque to be around her during or after delivery... let alone around or touching the puppies, but she did.
It was freaking adorable.
let me show you.



















Eventually Roque got right down into the middle of the action and was helping Opie clean puppies.
awww...

It was such a long night but so exciting! We can't wait until the eyes are open and they start waddling around!

want one?
seriously.
