New Addition to the Bachmeier Family

July 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Allow me to introduce Lola. Our new little princess of the family.

New Baby

Of course she is already rocking out a fab purple sweater( Purple is the new black according to the latest fashion mags). I have been thinking about adding to our little family for a while now but the hubby had some concerns. He wanted to make sure our Javier would be ok with her and that there would be no jealousy issues. Also since he works from home and I do not he was worried if he could handle the potty training. I worked from home with the last pooch so I handled it all. Biggest concern was we travel with Javi everywhere. We hop a plane.. so does he. Airlines are not only expensive for humans. Pets are just as expensive, so now it would be an added expense.

Bottom line.. I wore him down enough a while back to accept the fact we can welcome a new little one and we set it all in motion.Well I did. Once he did finally meet her i knew it was over

Cute Baby

She has taken to our home so well even we are impressed. Went on her potty grass when she needed too. Woke us up in the middle of the night to let me know she had to go. Has a great little personality and sweet as can be. We had a little bit of a snag this morning when we had them both up on the bed while I was reading my ipad and Jeff was snoozing still. Little Lola was on top of the covers and Javier was underneath. Lola must have “touched”  Javi or walked on him or something but the beast came out in Javi and be growled and bit Jeff under the sheets. I screamed since it startled me..Lola wimmpered and Javi stunned himself I think since he never has bit anyone or had an agressive bone in his body. Needless to say Jeff was not pleased with the rude awaking and was growly himself. We will not be rewarding behaving like that on both fronts:)

I just think it will take some time to get the two to co-exist and be happy. As of tonight they seem to be working it out and Javi is looking at me like..”Well I guess she is staying, I give up being protective”

Friends

Proof that they are working it out.

Im excited to get to know this little girl and thrilled that we have added another soul into our family. Never fun to have to re-train but it will also be good for Mr. Javier to go through a few things as well.

Off to take the pups out for the 50th time today…….

Do pets have an internal alarm clock or are they just doing it to piss you off?

July 15, 2011 By 3 Comments

dog time perception

Every morning like clockwork my dog wakes me up 10-15 minutes before my alarm clock. EVERY. DAMN. TIME. It’s almost past the point of annoying to being comical. At first it was just super annoying and the last thing I want to do is wake up any earlier than I have to. Well Javier decides what times he wants to get up and then he tells us in the best way he knows how. Big wet kisses to the face.

This is how my morning went down

This is Javier acting like he had nothing to do with waking me up. He is trying to pretend nothing happened.

This is the face of ..OK don’t be mad but I really, REALLY had to pee and I thought you would not mind a cute puppy kiss instead of the nasty alarm clock.

image 55

And then we come to this face. A look of disgust. A look that he wants you to remember. Maybe even a look of don’t even think of messing with me or I will pee on your bed. GET UP NOW! I understand the crappy cell phone camera is nothing to write home about but that’s what my REAL alarm clock in on and I had it close.

I’ll always remember dog sitting for a co-worker years back, Liv Lane of Choosing Beauty, and she told me flat out.. My dog Daisy will lick you to death if she sees your eyes are open. If you can fool her into thinking your still sleeping she will leave you alone. Once your eyes are open it’s over. I laughed. How bad could this be? SHE WAS DEAD ON. Sneaky little shit got me right away!! Love her though and Liv for being honestY you will often see Daisy on Liv’s blog. Cutie for sure.

Do you have a little (or big..eek) furry alarm clock in your life? What is the never fail trick they will do to get you up? What do you do to combat that? Let me hear from all of you sleep deprived people out there. I will say this, is that the day I don’t set my alarm for work will be the day Javier decides he is on vacation from his alarm duties..Go Figure.

Just a few little housekeeping things for you all. I will be overhauling the look of this blog soon. I know things can be a little hard to read. SUPER SMALL TEXT. It will be fixed. I promise. I feel a lot older than I am when I am reading it too. I understand.

Also next Friday will be the last week to get you or nominate a pet foundation or rescue in need of funding. We will be picking one for our August rescue of the month. Email me at amy@myuberpet.com to get info or to be considered.

Ok guys.. Have a good start of the weekend and I’ll be back soon.. with that I will leave you with this…Wait for the surprise at the end.

Mighty Pup!

July 13, 2011 By 3 Comments
So of all days I left my camera at my office. So I get home after a long day and what the heck do I see. My pup Javier sitting on the couch minding his own business. I turn around and the fridge door is wide open? My hubby is gone today and I was the last to leave. I first start to panic thinking someone is in my house and OMG eating my leftovers that I was dying for. I checked all the doors and everything was secure.

As I am running around trying to figure out the mystery, I lose track of Mr. Pup. I walk back into the kitchen and boom…I stop dead in my tracks. He is nudging at the fridge door again trying to open it. Could he have possibly opened it while I was gone. He is all of 5 pounds. What kind of super freak dog do I have here? He never did get it open again but it was just crazy to watch.

Im guessing after my breakfast this morning as I was rushing out of the house maybe it didn’t shut all the way. (don’t tell my husband)! Either way Javier got a nice blast of extra AC. He’s living the life I guess.

Any crazy stunts your pets do. Too good to believe?

I had an ex boyfriend that that a Golden and his mother would bake pies and place them in a heavy glass pie plate with a lid. This smart boy would paw up to the counter and nudge the lid off and eat the center of the pie. Best part is he would somehow get the lid back on! 4 hours later you go back for pie with it being gone and a pupster with a belly ache im sure.

I’d love to hear your stories.

Looking for a new house?

July 10, 2011 By 2 Comments

Ok..so most of our pets have free roam of the house I assume. We may have to put them in a kennel from time to time or keep them in a certain area when people arrive but for the most part we have them live with us in our homes. My pup Javier pretty much does what he pleases and comes and goes as he likes. Although he is pretty much glued to either my husband or I most of the time.

It is summer time and even though we have the dreaded heat and humidity in Florida, we still tend to live outdoors. Javi LOVES to be outside. He can sit in the sun forever. My husband and I physically have to go get him so he does not  over heat.  He would stay out all day if it was up to him and I think he gets upset when we get up to go inside. All 5 pounds of him will give you a look that will knock you over.

I was thinking the other day that while my hubby works from home and can watch him from the window.. why not build him a puppy safe area where he can stay outside and enjoy the sights and smells but we can feel safe when we have to go in for a bit.

I want to get him a dog house and pretty much pimp it out for my little boy. My hubby thinks I am nuts. I’m thinking full on mini pooch house with all the creature comforts. He thinks dollar signs. I think freaking awesome!

So when I get an idea I go at it full force. Today I was researching dog houses online. Can I just buy one and paint it myself?..buy one fully done? or build one from scratch? I’m not the super handy dandy type but I swear to God I will make this happen. I fully understand how freaking crazy I am sounding but I want what I want. DIVA!

Ok..so after looking at a few “inspirations” online I just need anywhere from $325,000-$400,000 to make it happen!  OH Yeah.. You heard me right! I was blown away.

Let me first present you with Paris Hilton’s puppy mansion.

This 300 Square foot pooch palace is pure glitz. Bottom floor has a formal living room with leather couches and plush doggie beds.  When it is time for bed the kids can head upstairs to the bedrooms each furnished with their very own closets to store all the designer outfits even I am jealous of. No dog house can be complete without heat, air, crystal chandeliers and crown molding. All this can be yours for $325,000. Yeah, you heard me! When the hell can I move in?

Now if that didn’t blow your freaking paws off just wait…Your about to get more pissed off…lol.

How would it feel to know that two great danes will be loving life in there own private condo that costs more than your house and then some.

Let me introduce you to you to THE most expensive dog house in the world.

Take the Tour

A Doctor in England has created an extension to her home that would make any human jealous and would move in for sure.

A few of the highlights..

Temp controlled beds

Spa

52” Plasma Tv

$150,000 Sound system( to go with the TV of course)

And a retna scanner doggie door so no other animals can enter. (makes sense right?)

All together the price is $402,000. No biggie right?

So you can clearly see my problem right? How can I make my poor Javi a dog house in the backyard without him slumming it? I wonder if I can convince my hubby that if I make it super awesome for the dog with TV’s and sound systems and a pool he can share it with the dog. Dog/Man Cave

Oh who am I kidding.. the second I write the check for $402,000 the dog will just sniff it and then lay in the dirt like he always does never to be touched again. Oh Well.. A girl can dream.

Have you emailed your favorite shelter yet to let them know they can be the Shelter/Foundation of the month? All of our adsense dollars and 10% of Myuberpet.com sales will go to them in the month of August. I’m so pumped! All they need to do is send me an email and let me know they need help and where they are located. I’ll look through them all and pick one( It will be so damn hard) and get a check out to them first week in September.

Until next time.

Baby your a Firework!!

July 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment

I talked a little bit about it on our Facebook Page but just wanted to check in and see how everyones 4th was. I will be the first to admit I am in love with what the holiday stands for but I hate fireworks. Have been scared since I was a kid. Terrified to be exact. Same deal with thunder. The loud sudden bangs send me running in fear. I know some pets have the same fear as I do…then others that handle it like it’s no big deal. My little guy has no issues. I tell my husband that he is scared to make myself feel better. How lame is that?

Did any of you have any episodes over the weekend. Poor pups hiding under the bed? I’ll tell you how my night went..super dumb.

My husband is out of town. Ever since we started dating I told him from day one the 4th is not my thing and he has a free pass to go and do what he wants. I usually spend the night drinking wine and numbing the pain for knowing whats to come. This year was no different. (Although the Speedway had central Florida’s biggest fireworks and I hid out in my office during that). I had the day off from work after a busy weekend and started to relax. 8pm I heard the first little boom from the neighborhood. OK no big deal.. I can do this. A few here a few there. My panic level getting a bit higher. Then quiet.  Super quiet.

AND THEN…

 

BOOM!

Little did I know we are a half mile from our cities firework show. I didn’t know this last year since it was raining and I was probualy drunk. I get up to get a drink of water and BOOM!!! Super loud like my house was going to explode. I screamed so freaking loud. Said a few things I shouldn’t have and then ran for my blankets. I went upstairs to see if I could see the missles exploding so close to my house.

Then I saw it. The most amazing fireworks I had seen. I had a front row seat from my upstairs guest bedroom. I sat for 30 minutes and watched the beuatful colors and patterns. Granted I looked like something out of Star Wars with a blanket wrapped over my head and my dog sleeping on my lap. Not the perfect picture but funny if anyone could see me.

So that was my night..quiet, then loud, then panic, then amazing. Too bad my pooch slept through EVERYTHING. He missed a good show.
