Kemper

Kisses and Farts!

February 2, 2014

Kemper Love-2

1 amazing year with this amazing dog!

We picked him up from the breeder last year on 2/2 so today marks 1 year of this adorable, energetic, lovable, annoying, stinky, kissy, farty pup!

Kemper Love-1

 

We’ve had so many good adventures with him over this year. We’ve survived house training in a blizzard, taken so many long sunrise walks on the beach, taken lots of hikes, been camping, traveled to NY, CT, NH, and ME, and much more! And now he has a baby sister to watch over!

We are so glad we picked him and can’t imagine life without him now. Can’t wait for the next year with our Kemper! xoxo

Kemper Love-3

Happy 1st Birthday Kemper!!

December 10, 2013

Today is Kemper’s first birthday.

Our little puppy babe is a year old and I can’t believe it.

Kemper First Birthday

Here he is on Thanksgiving.

Might just be me, but he is looking pretty adorable here.

I think he needs a little treat this weekend since I didn’t get my act together today. Well, that might just have to do with our newest little baby. But I think Kemper won’t mind the delay since he is being such a good sport with Autumn here now.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Kemper at Sunrise

This is my current favorite picture. We took it about 2 weeks ago at sunrise-ish while we were walking Kemper on the beach.

Had a Petty Melt yesterday for lunch (well half of one yesterday and leftovers today) and it might be my new current favorite food.

The ham and cheese squares from Starbucks might just be my new favorite food. Oh, and Patty Melts too. Can’t forget about those.

I have no real desire to blog right now. I’m at a real loss without our desktop computer which died on the 6th and took with it EVERYTHING- all my files, all my pictures- personal and blog. I feel like crying at any moment when I think about it. Hoping something can be figured out and they can be recovered.

I want to make these Oreo Brownies ASAP. And eat them all when I think about the thousands upon thousands of photos I’ve lost (see above).

I’m slipping back into zombie mode. I’m still not as bad as I was early on in the pregnancy when I would get home, absent mindedly eat dinner, and stumble into bed but I’m getting close to that some nights.

We are hardcore attacking The Bean’s room this weekend so we can get on to clearing it out and on to painting it next weekend. But of course, this is all around my weekend napping schedule.

38 more days until the baby arrives!

Kemper_130313

There should be a new Thirsty Thursday post up today.

But Amanda is taking a much deserved blogging break and the thought of sitting at the computer last night to finish up my post was just too overwhelming. So I’m skipiping it this week. oh wells.

Instead I bring you a picture of Kemper that I took yesterday at lunch.  His ears are killing me!

enjoy. Happy Thursday.

 

PS- Happy Birthday to Rachel of Baked by Rachel! Hope my fellow Wattamelon Roll lover has a great day!

Kemper Running

yep. just a series photos of our puppy running.

I took these on Sunday during our walk. I can’t keep from looking at them and cracking up at our little man’s stone cold face running down the sidewalk. He is such a good pup and I can’t stop loving on him.

And then I fainted…

March 1, 2013

Kemper Puppy

So today started off as a typical day.

Get the dog out, fed, and then out again. Then I shower, get ready while Pricer had puppy duty and then I am off to work.

But then something MAGICAL happened.

While I was on the T to work I saw this tweet from Ree, aka The Pioneer Woman…

PW Tweet_01

So I tweeted back the least gramatically correct sentence of my life back to Ree with a picture of Kemper…

PW Tweet_02

AND THEN I GOT THIS…

PW Tweet_03

AND THEN I FAINTED!

Okay, I didn’t but I think I had to pick my jaw off the floor when I got that.

And my day was made. 🙂

And that is why I love social media- connecting everyone together to talk about their dogs.

So, Ree, if you’re reading this, Kemper and I would love to come to the ranch to play with the pups and cows and cook with you. Kthanks.

TGIF!!!!

3 weeks of Kemper

February 23, 2013

130223_Kemper Sitting

today

As of today we’ve had our Boston Terrier puppy Kemper for 3 weeks. We just love our little man. Our little gentlemen.

130202_Kemper Sleeping

napping our on first day as a family

It’s crazy to think it has only been 3 weeks as it seems like he has been with us forever. He has just blended into the routine. Well, I guess we are all just merging into 1 routine together.

130206_Kemper 01

2.6.13= 8 weeks, 3 days

On 2/8 he weighed 4.8 lbs and he has grown so much since that I can’t wait to get him weighed at his next vet visit on the 7th.

130206_Kemper Sleeping

At first he was afraid of the hardwood floors and would sit on the living rug and whimper at the edge. Now he is a pro running around but he had to survive that scary first trip across the floor to the kitchen rug.

130208_Kemper Snow 130209_kemper in the snow

Blizzard Nemo

So far it has snowed 2x since we got him and he does not like it when it is snowing. Once the snow has hardened he is okay with it but getting him to go out in the snow… fat chance. It is going to snow tonight so I am hoping he will learn it is not scary and we will have less accidents when he pees right next to the pads… shm.

130210_Kemper

Emily gave Kemper this amazing blanket that she knit. We wrap him up like a burrito in it and he loves it. He loves to be wrapped up and tucked in when sleeping. The first night we had him he whimpered a bit in his pen in our room but I wrapped him up and he fell asleep quickly. He was from a large litter so we think he likes to feel weight/pressure on him since they would all pig pile up when sleeping.

Kiss!!!

130212_Kemper Sleeping

He has silent but deadly farts. And he generally does them on when he is sitting or sleeping on your lap. Lovely.

One night he got a hair/dust ball  and thew up on the rug. Of course right on the white part of the rug. Twice. After that he felt 100% and ran around like crazy trying to attack the paper towels I was using to clean the rug.

130214_Kemper Valentine

What a cute Valentine!!

130215_Kemper At Work 130215_Kemper in my Coat

On the 15th I snuck Kemper into my office building by putting him in my coat. He did really well with everyone. I love the picture of him sitting between my coworker Jake’s feet. Everyone put full on baby voice when they saw him- so hilarious. I had to keep an eye on him since a few of them were joking around that they were going to steal him. 🙂 When Price came in from his office Kemper recognized him and was so excited to see him. Aww!!

When we all left my office we walked to the bus and he got over his lease issues. Prior to that he would not move more than few feet when on leash. I was excited to see him doing well and how people were reacting him him. People were oohing and awning as they watch him walking and running in that little lumberjack coat.

130219_Kemper Cuddles

oh, he just loves the cuddles

130221_Kemper at Stairs

Price took this photo of him on the morning of the 21st. I can’t get over how little he looks, and yet how much he has grown. He can make it up the stairs all by himself, but, thankfully, has not yet learned how to make it down. We have moved the baby gate we used for the rabbits

130222_Kemper at Price's office_01 130222_Kemper at Price's office_02

Price took Kemper into work yesterday and was a huge hit with everyone there as well.. He went all around and was super friendly with everyone. Kemps even sat on one of his coworker’s desk and would watch Price from there.

130222_Kemper Sleeping

10 weeks, 5 days old

At this point Kemper is starting to understand the work “Sit”. I say it all the time and give him a teeny tiny piece of an all natural biscuit when he plops his butt right now. He doesn’t listen to it as often when Price says it, but he has been good about altering him that he needs to go out but walking over to the door and sitting down there. Seriously, genius.

130223_Kemper Playing 130223_Kemper Running

Playing around this morning

Can’t wait to for him to keep going and learning more and more.

Meet Kemper

February 4, 2013

Kemper dog

Normally, I’d have a Monday Munchies post today but I wanted to share all about Kemper instead. I could not resist!!

Kemper is our new Boston Terrier puppy. I am over the moon in love with him. Seriously, too sweet, too cute, and just so adorable.

We picked up our little 8 week old from the breeder on Saturday afternoon.

We finalized last week’s decision when we picked him out when he came over to Pricer sitting on the floor when the other 2 were so determined on going wherever they pleased. While the other 2 had great spirit we picked mister mellow.

Kemper in the car_01 Kemper in the car_02

I snuggled up with him on the ride to Petsmart. We got him some little things like a shirt and coat to keep him warm.

Kemper wrapped up

He loves being wrapped up or covered up in the blanket that Emily made him.

He got settled quickly and was playful in the afternoon.


Squee!!!

Kemper burrito_01

And then did a good job sleeping.

Kemper burrito_02

A really good job.

He slept well at night as well. We did a last trip out at night and made him run around like crazy so he would get tired out. Now, ‘run around like crazy’ means runs about 80′ total in the little yard in the front. ha! He slept from 12.15- 6.45. Yeah, he was really tired from an excited first day!

Price had Kemper all to himself yesterday as I was at work so I could get some work done as I’m out most of this week with the pup. He did well and moved around a lot, even making it up and down our driveway “hill”, ate well, and took plenty of naps.

kemper_01 kemper_02

He also slept well last night only getting up once at 12.35. Even then he calmed down quickly after I tucked him back in and gave him some pats on the back.

Well, so far so good. He met the rabbits and Jack seemed more welcoming than Bunny as Jack smelled him and Bunny thumped to show she was not happy with his presence. Kemper just had no idea what was going on as he never saw rabbits before, esp ones bigger than him. ha!

He is dozing in his crate now so I think I might get some scrapbooking done before taking him out again, and again.
