Sorry I have been missing in action this week!

I had to take Hugh to the photographer last week and today I got to see his photo shoot. Quite interesting I must say. All is well for now with Hugh and no action is required for another year...YEAH! I told the doctor I had named him Hugh and he suggested I change that to Mugh (medium sized, not huge sized - haha). He also dared to call Hugh ugly - he thought that is what the U stood for and I said no, it was for unwanted. How dare him!

So that is why I have not been blogging this week - I've been trying to eat healthy and I've been very stressed out! And if you read my last post, let me publicly confess that I have not completely followed my healthy eating plan. I made it for about six days and since then I have added in three items: 1/2 a cracked wheat bagel daily, a small bowl of refried beans with cheese daily (like a burrito with no tortilla!), and two very large oatmeal cookies - one during a pre-appointment melt down and one today to celebrate! But other than that, I have been eating very healthy for about 10 days now!

Since I don't have much to say or post, I thought I would end with a cute set of pictures. Mayzie is in love with our new hamster. She lays by her cage and tries to wake her and then they have stare outs as you can see in this picture:

 

I don't know if Mayzie wants to eat her or just wants to play with her. But she certainly looks guilty here! "Who me??? I didn't try to eat the hamster - oh no, not me!"

 But don't worry about little hamster. She knows how to fight (bite) back! 

 

I would like to say our cute little hamster has a name now, but she remains nameless. Chloe says there are too many good choices to make a decision (believe me, we have given her lots). So Sophie and I have started to call her Cheerio and we are hoping it will stick and little miss-indecisive won't change it. The reason for this name? First, she loves to eat Cheerios - we feed her quite a few each night and they are her favorite treat. Second, when she runs in her wheel, she is so long now that her head almost touches her tail and she looks like a round cheerio - she is even the right color!

Last, I would like to thank my blog reader DOMINICO for the lovely gifts you left for us and our hamster at Scrapbook Oasis. We were soooo excited to receive them! They are being well utilized and were very appreciated. I wish I could find your email address so we could thank you - so write us if you read this!

Happy Happy Oh So Very Happy Day!!!!!!! Suzy

I'm so happy to hear all is good with "MUGH" I like that name. It must be such a relieve to know your doing better. Love the hamster pictures he's very active and nice teeth on him. The name cheerio is such a cute name, never thought of that but will tell my kids for future use if needed. Have a great weekend, hope it's warm and sunny for you.
