Posing for the camera :)
Awww....he's yawning <3
He has been so cute today! When I got home from school he came over wagging, so I got down on my knees and he climbed up on me! So adorable! I just can't get over it!

Two big things in my teen life :)
Hey again to anyone who is reading this!
Well, we just got a puppy from a pet shelter about two weeks ago and boy is he a hassle! He's so adorable though, so I guess that makes up for it. His full name is Black Jak, but we just call him Jak. He's a lab and shephard mix, and he's almost completely black except for his white stomach. He has the cutest little baby face, and he would be absolutely perfect if he didn't bite me all the time (playfully of course) and pee all over the house...ugh! We're still trying to "house-train" him, so I don't think he gets the concept that peeing on carpets is not okay! He seems to be mellowing out a little when it comes to the biting, but I'm putting a big emphasis on little! When I'm playing with Jak and I offer him a toy, he deliberately goes around the toy to chew on my fingers or feet. My brother thinks he has a foot fettish =D It's really funny. Or like when I'm washing dishes, he'll come right up to me and just flop down on my feet. He really just likes being near people.
The main thing I was worried about with getting Jak is that we already have a dog, and she isn't exactly too social with other dogs. For the first couple days that we had Jak, Shyla (Our other dog, a girl lemon beagle) just ignored him and it was perfectly clear that she was thinking "If I pretend he's not here, then he'll go away"...she's not very good at sharing...at all. Well, she finally excepted that he wasn't going to go away after the first week was over, so they've started playing with eachother. It was pretty cute at first, and I guess it still is but they act like they are trying to kill eachother. Jak bites Shyla's neck, Shyla pins him to the door and growls at him, Jak gets up and goes for her throat, she howls at him...This goes on all day...Actually I'm listening to the two dogs growl at eachother while playing tug of war right now. It's nice that Shyla finally has some activity in her day though, she used to be so lazy.
Another big step forward in my life - I finally got my braces off!!! After 22 months of being so careful with what I ate and how I ate to make sure I didn't break those $5,000 metal pieces in my mouth! Finally! I can chew gum again! That was honestly the thing that I was most excited about when it came to getting my braces off. I didn't mind how I looked with braces, it just bothered me that I hadn't chewed gum more times than I can count on my fingers in almost two years. And, God, it felt good to get those things off my teeth and actually see my real smile, which I was super happy with, by the way. The orthodontist did an amazing job with my teeth. So worth it!
Well, that's it for now, so if you have any similar experiences or have anything to say, please comment! I would love to hear it!
