Just an update
Nothing too big or exciting has happened since my last post. Tylor did find some hunting land, its about 2 hours away but atleast he found something around here. Its so different than hunting in Florida...SO many rules and about 50% of the land is privately owned. Jaeger hasn't had anymore bee incidents, although he has come extremely close. He likes to stress me out :) Tylors doing good, he started his new job and so far he likes it. I am loving his schedule...he only works about 15 days a month but its 12 hour shifts, so thats no fun. We have decided to move on base, we went Thursday to get put on the list. Right now we are number 4 out of 22 so hopefully we just keep moving forwards instead of backwards. I am sooo looking forward to the grassy yard and 6 ft privacy fence! No more pine needles sticking in Jaegers hair...and no more incidents where he eats pine cones. I'm not sure how he's going to react to grass haha I think I will feel safer too. I won't be nervous to take the dog for a walk down the road which is near impossible in the neighborhood we are in now. I have decided not to take Jaeger with me when I visit home for a few weeks....I tried to tell myself to stop being so nervous and paranoid but theres still too many horror stories out there for my liking soooo Tylor will be in charge of Jaeger for the few weeks I'm gone. I hope the house is still standing when I return lol The weather has been great this month! No more rain! It's almost been too nice, this week has been in the 80's and since Washington doesn't believe in air conditioners me and the dog have been very uncomfortable. Hes in front of the fan eating ice cubes as I'm typing this. Still looking into companies to ship my car from Florida....ugh why does everything have to be so expensive?! A few months ago when we checked we could have done it for $900 and now some of the bids are up to almost $2,000! I NEED my car here before I go crazy! And I can't get a job until I actually have a way to get myself there lol Not a huge update, our lives have been pretty boring the past few weeks...time to do all the fun wifely duties like cleaning and laundry...fun!

Hectic Few Days
The last week or so has been crazy! We took Jaeger to the beach, when we got home he kept sneezing and "blowing" out of his nose. I then realized he had a hard bump on his nose. We took him to the vet, she gave him some cortisone and benadryl...which the benadryl we were already giving him. We could already tell a huge difference the next day. After this went away, he started having diarrhea..Lovely, right? Soooo I figured it was from the benadryl, nope...wasn't it. After camping out on the floor with him (to make sure he didn't get dehydrated during the night) Lots of rice and chicken, canned pumpkin, ice cubes, and pedialyte....he pooped out a PINE CONE! Yep, a pine cone. Ok, so no sneezing or bump, check. No upset belly, check. THEN a few days later he decides to smell a bee....stung him right on the chin. We acted fast, gave him the benadryl, held ice on it to the way to Walgreens to pick up some baking soda to put on his chin. Do you know how hard it is to keep baking soda on a chewing puppies chin??? The next day it was 98% better. FINALLY this dog is better and cured from everything! Or not....he lost quite a few puppy teeth in the last 2 weeks, and 2 just in one day...so he decided to eat some cloth off his toy, we didn't realize it until after the fact...sooo more stressing out, more canned pumpkin, and more monitoring his poop for the next two days to see if he passed it all....he did thankfully. We did NOT was to spend 1-2 thousand on a dog to have a toy taken out of his stomach lol I guess needless to say we are going to have to get a muzzle for when he goes outside until he outgrows this stage, he just tries to eat EVERYTHING! But hes a very good, loyal puppy and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world...he makes me laugh everyday :)
Other than that mine and Tylors lives have been pretty boring. lol We took a ride out in the mountains the other day and I LOVED it! I think I would like Washington way more if I lived more out in the country than in the city like we do now. Sigh, maybe one day. We went to the scenic railroad and ate dinner on a train that was turned into a resturant..it was really neat. I had my first elk burger lol. I finally got in some girl time! My first friend haha too bad neither of us can drive right now even though we have working vehicles...figures. lol Speaking of my car, it got done today, FINALLY!!! I can't wait to get it up here and look for a job! I miss having my own money so much and having to double check with Tylor to buy something...not that he ever says no, but I just miss having "my" money. lol Tylor started his new job today, I'm very excited for him and hope he likes it. It's a 3 year job, and he will work 2 days, have 3 days off, then work 3 days...or something like that lol I'm happy he will be home more. Tylors mother is coming in October, then I'm going home the month of November, I can't wait! I can't believe I've made it 3 whole months here so far, I'm proud of myself haha Some days it seems like I've been here forever, and other days its not too bad. An approvement from the first month, for sure! Well I have a dog and cat to feed and a kitchen to clean....Hopefully next time I write I won't have any "dog problems" to talk about lol
