We rented The Proposal and Monsters vs. Aliens and they were both great! I'm pretty confident that any movie that Dreamworks makes is going to be a good one, and once again, we were not disappointed. If you are looking for something to entertain you without having to think too hard, this is a great movie to rent! We also watched The Proposal on Friday night, and I was really glad we finally got the chance to see it. I had been wanting to see this pretty much ever since it came out in theaters, and it was available, so I snatched it up! Sandra Bullock is really a great actress, and it was funny and entertaining and had a really good story, all rolled up into one. I'm glad, because usually movies that have a story like that aren't necessarily that funny. I think Chris enjoyed it too, which was a nice bonus - I hate feeling like he's watching a movie just because I want to, and it's nice to see him getting a laugh every once in a while :).
In other news... Yes, the Sooners lost... Chris, Mac, and I went down to Norman to our friend's house and watched the game and let the dog play all day. It turned out to be a pretty good game! I was scared that we were going to get our butts kicked, but we held our own! I think that we could have won the game with no problem, but someone has to lose, and unfortunately yesterday it was us. At least it was a good game to watch! An added bonus was that the dog played all day and was so tired by the time we left, he slept all night and gave us a little break.
Speaking of the dog, he is doing ok, but he's still not quite getting the whole peeing in one place thing. I only have two complaints about him right now that I wish I could snap my fingers and fix in an instant: the constant biting, and the partial pee-pad usage. I feel like I'm doing something wrong because he's not getting better by leaps and bounds, but I need to remember that he is a puppy, and that he's not going to learn anything in a day, or even a week. The biting part is the thing that is the most frustrating to me - you can barely pick him up because he wants to play all the time and biting is part of his playing. We have started watching The Dog Whisperer and hopefully we can learn something from his shows. All of the ones we've seen are about older dogs who need rehabilitation, as Cesar calls it, and he makes it look so easy! I'm hoping that at least if Mac grows up to be anything less than what we want him to be, we can learn something from these episodes that might help us shape him into a good dog. Chris keeps telling me it's just because he's a puppy, and I really really hope he's right! I can't wait to see what kind of dog he is going to turn into!
Well this week is going to be interesting for me, as Chris is on his way to California and I have both pets and the task of getting ready for Chicago next week. There are a lot of things I want to finish this week, so we'll see what happens. Hopefully Thursday comes quickly! I miss Chris already! When I get my projects done, I will be posting again, and hopefully those posts come sooner than later :) Have a great week everyone!
