Rain!

It's raining and I love it! Here are some pictures before the rain and during the rain (again using vintage):
Before the Rain!






During the rain! Yes I did go outside with no jacket and in my pj's:)!





Again there will be no pictures of Dino. As you may recall he has a cut on the bottom of his right eye and now he is cross eyed:/! I think that the cut swelled up and is pushing his eye but I'm not sure. We are going to take him to the vet and hopefully he get's better.

Nothing & More

I am making this post just because. On Wednesday I posted the first of many Wordless Wednesday's. It is what it says. I will just post pictures that I have taken- with my phone. I took those pictures on Sunday and it was kinda cloudy. I used the vintage mode on my phone (I'm loving it)! Although 3 of those pictures are taken in the normal mode; the yellow rose (I believe) was taken just for comparison, and the other 2 (the purple grape like and the pink flowers) just looked better with their natural color.
In other news, tomorrow Saturday March 19th is my father's birthday. I don't know what we're going to do but it should be fun. Something many people don't know is that I don't show affection towards my dad like I do with my mom. I more like gently fight with him, like we play fight if that makes any sense? Anyway, it's his birthday and I don't know how old he is going to be but he's old enough:). After it will be my grandma's 80 something birthday and my younger brother's 15th birthday! So many birthday's!
There will be no pictures of Dino today because he's taking a rain check. He has a cut on his eye and is kind of embarrassed. He seems sort of depressed and I wouldn't want to show you guys a depressing picture. So I'll just leave it at that.

Not a Story Sunday!

I have already posted a Story Sunday, but I wanted to post something else (kinda) unrelated to that post.
Firstly, I don't know if you can tell but most of my recent-est posts are about Dino... okay all of this year's posts are about him. It's just that he's much more interesting. So, with little much thinking I have decided to make this his blog. I'll be posting things about his life from now on.
Secondly, Dino really does hate water. He has golden blood in him I don't know why he doesn't like water. Since his first bath he never liked being there, not even when he's outside. He like's to drink water but hates being in it.
Lastly, here is a picture of him (there always has to be a picture of him):
Sometimes I think he's becoming a human.
Obviously he didn't get up there by himself, but he easily could have. I made sure he didn't fall off don't worry I may be young but I know what I'm doing otherwise I wouldn't do it. He's just so dang precious.

Story Sunday: An Ode

Ode to Dino
Because you will have taught me much
Through your biting and crazy antics.
Because your sad brown eyes make me love you more
You impress everyone with your tricks.
Ode to Dino
Because you may bark at every stranger
But you always make me smile.
Because you really dislike water
Enough to run for a mile.
Ode to Dino
Because you're more than a pet you're my friend
You exceed everything a dog could be.
Because when you leave you'll be greatly missed
But for now you will continue teaching me.

Lazy Saturday Morning.

Warning!: This blog may be random.
I'm home alone... well Dino's here but it's just us 2! I don't know what to write because nothing interesting is happening. Hopefully I could go get Dino's graduation pictures today so I could put those up. I'm super hungry right now. Why can't I change the color of some of the text? I don't want to change the color of all the words! I also want to make some words bigger or smaller. My parents are here yay!
Here's Dino:
I recently re-designed my room. I painted it a (really) light sea green blue kind of color and an aqua color. It looks really good. I rearranged my furniture and added these:
I took all three with my phone the middle and right one I used the vintage option. The normal one doesn't show the true color (it looks kind of depressing in this picture). It's a lot more happy. So I think that's all I have to say for now I'll be back soon hopefully. If I don't forget:).

Story Sunday #1!

I'm starting a new segment, Story Sunday where I tell you a story of my life that already happened or maybe a funny joke or something. This will make me have to write something at least once a week. Anyway I'm starting this segment with the story of the first day I got Dino.
Well like I said in my first post this year, it was a surprise. I was waiting inside my house looking out the window for them to get home so i could eat the flavored shaved ice I had asked for. So then when they just pulled into the driveway I said, "They're here", and then I said,"Oh my gosh they have a puppy!". My brothers didn't believe me, but then I ran outside and just picked him up. He was so cute and tiny, and cute. I couldn't believe it because as you know I wanted a dog for so long. So then I went to the backyard and put him down and he just hid behind the recycle bin. My dad told me to name him but the names I had in mind weren't a good fit. My older brother (who didn't want a dog), said we should name him Dino like Ferrari's son. I was a little if-y at first but it really did fit. Then, I put him on the grass and he followed me for some time. After a while we took him to Pet Smart to get him food and since this is our first dog we didn't know what to get him so we just left. We fed him eggs and he loved it. That day I had already made plans with my friends so I didn't spend much time with him but I tried to leave asap from the mall. And while I was gone my dad got puppy food. That night I put him in a house box next to my bed, he started crying and scratching the box in the middle of the night. I took him outside but he didn't do anything and he was still crying so i took him out again and he did his business. Then, he started to cry again so I finally let him sleep in my bed. In the morning I woke up and he wasn't there! So I looked and he was investigating my room. I checked to see if he was okay since he probably fell off my bed which is about 2 and a half feet off the ground. He seemed okay then I checked my room to see if he went pee and he didn't. So that was the whole day with my new puppy.

Graduation and the Park.


Okay so the last post was about my puppy, (and I just remembered I forgot to tell you his name)Dino. We put him through a puppy class and he graduated with flying colors. There will be an update of picture for his graduation because the instructor took 2 pictures and we still need to pick them up.

He learned how to lay down, stay, leave it, and shake. I taught him how to sit myself so the instructor didn't have to go over it. There were 3 other dogs, 2 of which scared Dino and the other was a chihuahua:).

We went to the park today and took very little photos because I didn't want to look weird taking pictures of inanimate objects. It was kinda hot out but all the walking tired out Dino so at this moment he's sleeping;).

Watching My nephew walk on the rocks to the other side of the water.

Unleashed! Staying close, he knows what's right.

Well he can't stay in one place forever:). He has to roam around sooner or later, but he always comes back (I didn't take a picture of him coming back when he was called, but he did!

What?... Where Am I?

Yes, I've neglected my poor innocent blog. I just have more things to do... okay maybe not. But, I have been a little busy with my new puppy! I got him on 10/09/10. My parents got back from where they were going and I was watching for them from the window. I didn't think they'd come back with a puppy. Anyway, long story short I saw my dad carrying it and ran out to go see if it was real, and it was! Here he is (I got him in October so here's his progress):

He was a tad bit shy the first day, but now HE'S NOT. There will be another post for today, if you haven't already read it.
