Comcast sucks

January24

We finally got rid of our cable internet connection and got DSL again.  I can’t even begin to tell you how awful our internet connection was with Comcast – it would often drop every 2 minutes.  We had Comcast come out to fix the problem 4 times.  Each time they blamed our equipment and said there was nothing wrong with the signal.  This last time they insisted it was our router.  I told the guy this was our 3rd router since we moved here but he refused to listen.  The signal was perfect – it was our fault.  I might be a relative idiot about all things technological but Steve is a geek of the first degree.  It wasn’t our equipment.  We’ve had DSL for 2 days and I can actually play games on line again when Sabrina is asleep – it is lovely!

Sabrina’s mood has improved greatly in the past 2 days.  She is still testing but at least she isn’t screaming and whining 24/7 while testing.  Her newest trick is that she learned to crawl up on the couch.  So now she wants to spend all day long climbing up and climbing back down.  She is also fascinated with tormenting the dog.  She wants to pull his tail, squeeze his paws, stick her finger in his eye, or sit or walk on him.  Thankfully he is very patient and usually doesn’t react at all.  If he does react, it is simply to move away from her – but of course she follows.

I don’t encourage this but I accidentally caught it on the camera and it made me laugh.  I know it is gross – don’t email me about how it is child abuse.  I always tell the dog to stop when he licks her and honestly I’ve seen her lick things that are likely less clean.

    If I say it once during the day, I say it a million times, “Princess, quit licking the baby!” Not to mention the fact that they all line up around her high chair and she feed them. What do you do? lol

    She is getting so big!!! I love her bangs.

    That is one of my favorite outfits I have seen on her. She is really growing into it.

    Reese is running–but not climbing yet–THANK GOD!!!

    Dog kisses just help build the immunity…at least that’s what I tell myself as I watch Ruby share kisses and food with the dogs. 🙂

    I love that lick picture, how did you catch that!

    Her hair is adorable, maybe I missed some days when you got it cut. I will have to look back.

    I wont let my hubby see the blog today (not that he ever looks) but yes he would believe the “lick” would be child abuse and my dad would faint dead on the spot. (we have a lot of issues with him and our dogs — but in our house Grandpa loses that battle).

    Boy do I ramble on…………amazing what I can do when daddy and matthew are getting ready together.

    That might be better than what my youngest and my moms little dachund puppy do … they lick each others tongues. Yeah its gross, but I find that I need to keep myself from laughing while I’m pulling them away from each other.

    Sabrina and the dog are obviously fond of each other… and dog kissed just seal the deal! I personally love the picture 🙂

    Sabrina is as cute as ever. Have a great weekend.

    Our dogs do the same thing, we are always telling them to stop licking her. But they have learned that 9 times out of 10 she has food, either in her hair, clothes, mouth or hand 🙂
    Victoria loves to bug the dogs too and lately has been trying to stick her finger in the dogs butte! ðŸ™
    Love the bangs too, so cute

    She is such a cutie. My girl torments our cat. He does the same – moves away that is!

    What online games do you play? I love a board game called Settlers of Cataan and you can play an online version of it on games @asobrain.com that is so addicting.
