Thankful Thursday

This post is so on time its not even funny! This week we have taken advantage of the fact that Josh does not have to go to school during the day. Therefore, we stay in bed until 11am or so and take our time with breakfast and lunch. I have never been one to stay up late, or to sleep in. However, Josh's sleep habits have worn off on me. I stay up late to see him when he gets home from work and he is usually pushing me out of bed the next day:) Sometimes I miss my 'early to bed early to rise' days but I would miss hanging out with him more so the decision isn't hard each night as I stay up watching Prison Break until he gets home. Speaking of Prison Break, I am on the 4th and final season of the show and its already got me hooked. This might just be my favorite season yet!
I have recently been rebuked for having a 'boring' blog with only words and no pictures. Personally I thought people grew out of the picture phase as they progressed through elementary school. As it was brought to my attention that this is not always the case, I will try to do better with taking pictures throughout the week and posting them. This week I would like to focus on this little sweet pea...

As you can see this little thing is quite the cuddle bug, (and I am not talking about the monkey) Shown above is a picture of Penelope Cronen and her best friend Monkey. They enjoy classical musical, long walks on the beach, sitting next to us on the couch, and most importantly ATTENTION! It doesn't matter if we want to give it to Penny or not, the second we move she is right next to us waiting to be pet. She is so much fun to have around she is the sweetest thing. Also she is probably the cleanest dog in the world! She is constantly cleaning her paws, her belly, and in between her legs. She even tries cleaning others, whether it be animals or people. If she smells something salty, dirty, or yummy she is more than happy to offer her cleaning services. And I am NOT exaggerating, we didn't even know when she went into heat because she keeps herself so clean. I don't think we will ever be able to get her fixed because she will lick her stitches right out!
