What's Happening (02-01-20)...

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 once again it's been two weeks since I've updated.  Not even gonna make excuses or assign blame.  

The pups are doing great and Apollo is growing like a weed.  He has his first vet appointment (for his second round of puppy shots) and all went well.  In fact, he was better behaved there than at home.  He and Cass are still having marathon playing sessions and when they get too riled up, Mr. Barb and I intervene before someone gets hurt.  Potty training is going better as I think he's finally making the connection to what "outside" means.  I would like to say he isn't biting as much, and I do think it's stopped a tad, but man, those puppy teeth need to go!  Cassius once again has some thoughts so he'll leave them at the end of the post.

We have been watching some new things.  We watched a movie called "Rabid" which was actually pretty good.  I think it was a remake of an older film but if you like zombies, then this is a fresh take on them.  We also watched "Hustlers" because I was curious and also because I got to pick the movie the evening of my birthday 😀 It was pretty interesting.  The other night we watched "Zombieland 2: Double Tap."  It was pretty much like the first one with some new things thrown in.  And last but not least we started watching "October Faction" on Netflix.  We have 3 episodes left and while I'm not in love with it, it is entertaining enough.  However, it's not a lot like the GN and I would recommend those because personally I think they're better.

Hopefully I wrapped up January strong reading-wise.  I hope to get my recap up Sunday.  I received a few books for review including It Will Just Be Us which is a Gothic horror, You Let Me In which is a thriller I've been seeing everywhere, and No Bad Deed which is a mystery thriller.  I also bought a copy of The Roo on release day and Stormi and I will be reading it in March.  Just like Booksnake is a current trend, I predict the cover color of the year will be blue.

Also, in case you missed it, the 3rd annual They Call It Puppy Love Challenge is live so you can find all the details HERE.

Now I'm turning it over to Cass for...

STUPID S**T MY BROTHER DOES:

1. He puts everything in his mouth.  Seriously, I swear the kid is going to have an identity crisis before he's six month's old.  It seems all Mom ever says to him is "don't eat dirt" and "what's in your mouth?"

2.  He play with our toys a lot, which is perfect acceptable.  But he also plays with MY toys.  He needs to learn there are certain ones which are off limits

* my stuffed squirrels

*my stuffed donkey named Nestor

*any and all bird toys - that means my blue jay that chirps, my Woodstock, my furry ducks, and my geese!

3.  He thinks he's a rabbit.  He hops ALL THE TIME! It's ironic that Mom hauled The Roo this week because since she's always called me Tigger, she has now taken to calling him Baby Roo - please see #1...will this kid EVER learn his name (for the record, by some miracle, he does answer to Apollo).

So how was everyone's week.  Reading and watching anything good?  Mom will want to know!
