What's Happening (01-18-19)...

So I'm doing things a tad bit differently this year and will be combining all of my regular weekend posts.  This will enable me to add more content on Fridays and it is just starting to make more sense.  I'll still be linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga's Reviews and Sunday Post at Caffeinated Reviewer.  Both blogs are awesome so make sure you check them out. 

So there was no post last weekend and I apologize.  Life just became too much.  Nothing bad but with my first full week back to work and then I had to travel out of town for a work meeting one day.  Things just got the best of me.  But anyway, on with the update!

So Apollo continues to grow.  He and Cass are getting along fairly well. They had a marathon session of playing Wednesday night and Cass got head butted in the eye and it started to swell. I went into panic mode but Mr. Barb was pretty sure it wasn't the actual eye but beneath it.  Needless to say I worried all night but I'm happy to report Cass is fine.  I made the pup leave him alone for a while Thursday and honestly, neither seemed too happy about it.  Here are some update pics of Apollo.

This shows that he has doubled in size if not more.  I refer to PUPPY LAG a lot and it's not so much that he's keeping me up at night, it's just a lot of juggling with vet appointments, taking him out (only once) in the middle of the night, and constantly keeping tabs on the little fella.

This is Cass with one of his favorite toys taking time out from the lil' brother.

And this shows that I think our dog may be broken.  He loves to play this "game" with Dad.  Sorry for the bad quality.  It's hard to catch him doing anything in good lighting :)

We have been watching some things on TV but not a lot of movies.  I finished Season 2 of YOU and all I can say is Joe, I'm really worried about this last relationship of yours.  Needless to say I'm thrilled it's been picked up for a third season.  We also watched the Dracula mini-series.  It was odd and that's the best way I know to describe it.  It was three 1 1/2 hour episodes and I could have really done without the last one.  I watched Midsomar while I was off sick one day and WEIRD.  It was free or I never would have started it.  They take a lot of drug inducing herbs in the movie and I kept thinking so may have the writers.  It may have helped if they had shared some with the audience too.  

I've been reading some and hope to pick up some great books this weekend. This is what is on tap.  

And here is my haul for the past several weeks as it's been a while since I shared.  I thought Past Lives with Pets sounded pretty interesting and let's be honest, I couldn't resist the cover of Nocturnal Farm.   I featured The Finders on a Can't Wait Wednesday some time back and was thrilled when I was approved for it.

I was really intrigued by the premise of Ghosts of Harvard and I've been seeing The Down Days all over the place and come on, how can you resist that cover?  And I'm beyond ecstatic to have a copy of The Only Good Indians.

And finally, I'm turning things over to Cass for his latest installment....

STUPID S**T MY BROTHER DOES:

1.  He eats dirt.  Seriously, he roots around in the backyard and loves to eat dirt.  Doesn't he know that he needs to hold out for treats and food?  I've tried to tell him but he doesn't listen.

2.  He grows like a weed - hey, maybe that's what's up with all the dirt.  He gets bigger by the day.

3. When he gets the zoomies, stand back.  That boy is fast!  Of course not as fast as me.  

4.  We now touch each other.  I actually like playing with him but he needs to learn not to hang on to my neck.  I can't even wear bandanas right now because it's gives him more hold.  And he also needs to learn that when I am done, I am done.

5.  He STILL likes to chew on Mom but admittedly not as much as before.  All I can figure out is the truth may be out and he knows she loves me more.

So how was your week?
