The Couch or A Throne?

OK, so my puppy Ruger just discovered that he is big enough to jump up on our couch. Well I am firm believer that couches are for people and dogs can sit beside them but not on them. Well, Ruger and I have been battling with this one. He will jump up on the couch and sit there looking at me like he is "the king of the world." Sometimes I cant help but laugh, but other times I get very frustrated. He will jump up on the couch and I will tell him "NO." He will get down and then turn right around and jump up on my couch again. This has been an ongoing battle between us for the last couple of days. I am not sure how to keep him down. I believe that he thinks it is his right to be on my couch whenever he likes.
Now, Lexie has never been on our couch and when I had her as a puppy she never attempted to jump on the couch. When Ruger jumps up on the coush she will look at me with this look like "He is one the couch again and I am sitting here on the floor. What is going on here?" I just look at her and tell her good girl and then begin the disciplining with Ruger. LOL!!!

Sick Day

So, Tyrel just found out that he will be coming home on March 10th. He was scheduled to come home on March 8th so this puts him a couple of days later then what we thought. Please pray for us to be able to get through one more month. Being away from each other is extremely hard. Neither of us could have imagined being apart would and could be this hard. We are both very lonely. We are each others best friend. I am very blessed to be married to him, I could not ask for a better man. He is amazing in all areas of his life. Please pray that his leadership will be godly men. Right now his company is not godly at all and its taking a tole on Tyrel. He battles spiritually everyday and it would be nice to have encouragement from another Marine or two.


Not all my blogs will be prayers requests. We do have 2 dogs that we consider our kids. They keep me pretty entertained and busy. They make me laugh most days and the days I am not laughing I am wanting to scream at them. :-) I also have no life here in Virginia. I work part time and when I am not working I am at home hanging out with my dogs. I take them on walks most everyday, except the last few days since I have been sick, and lets just say that most walks are exhausting. The dogs are always barking, chasing, or getting into something. There has been a couple occasions that someone has stopped to laugh at me while I am unable to move because the dogs have tied my legs up with their leashes because running in circles around me seems funny to them. All I can do is laugh at them and smile at people watching us as we walk down the street.

My Youngest dog, Ruger, has began a new thing. He does not like it when I talk on the phone, so he will bark and bark and bark while I am talking. As long as I am talking on the phone and petting him at the same time he will not bark, the minute that my hand leaves his belly he starts barking again. I know, I am letting him get his way, but he is so cute and hilarious that giving him a good belly rub is the least of my worries. :-)

Well no promises on keeping up with my blog, but I will do my best to share with you the funny stories and my sad ones.

Updates

I am going to try to use this blog to update family and friends on how Tyrel and I are doing and specific ways that you all can pray for us. I also want to be able to keep up with what is going on with each one of you. Please be patient with my posts as I get used to blogging.
