My Puppy doesn't Listen to Me!

My puppy doesn't listen to me has to be one of the biggest complaints I hear about dogs! Believe me, I'm right there with you!

I love this picture! It's not mine but it looks just like my boxer, Captain! Have I mentioned how much this dog frustrates me! In the same breath I'll tell you how much I love my puppy! Yes...my puppy! My husband always makes fun of me and says that he will always be my puppy even when he's old! True! He ate my work headphones the other day! I wasn't even gone that long! It was when I was taking the van to the shop....which thank goodness we got back today! Not sure exactly what was wrong with it! I'll talk to Tim in the morning! Well, anyways, back to dogs! You leave the house for 5 minutes without him and he's destroying things. We no longer have blinds in our house because of him. We just put blankets up everywhere! I try to put everything up before we leave the house but he always manages to get into something! We can't keep him in the cage anymore. He has tore it up completely and escapes everytime. I don't know what to do. I was so mad at him the other day and Tim asked if I wanted to get rid of him and of course, I said no. I love my puppy! Even when he makes me cry! I never thought I could become so attached to an animal but I have.

So, any advice? I would love to hear your experiences, especially if you've had boxers! Let me know! Thanks!

CVS Trip this Week

I love shopping at CVS! It is so much fun! Sunday I realized that in my area, I'm not the only one. We were late getting up that morning and I didn't make it to CVS until 8:30 (the horror! :) ) and they were already out of the contact solution! Darn! And I actually needed contact solution...it wasn't something that I was just buying because it was free. Well I was talking to the cashier and she said that when there is good free stuff, people are lined up at the door! Mental note taken! So since I had $15.99 in ECBs from last week I had to do some quick thinking. I didn't earn as many ECBs as I wanted but I got them down to a more manageable size. 15.99 is hard to spend some weeks to roll them over.

Okay for my shopping trip:

Maybelline Mineral Powder Foundation $8.99 ECB
Dial Soap Gold $1 ECB
Toilet Paper (we needed some)
Newspaper
Coke and Milkyway (to bring my total up)
Tape (donated to the troops and to get my total up)

Coupons

$3 off maybelline foundation

15.99 ECB

Total oop: $0.20!!!!! Such a wonderful feeling!

Now I realize that I spent my money a little foolishly but in my defense I was so hungry that morning and we didn't have time to make breakfast so it helped my stomach stay quiet during church!

I earned $9.99 in ECBs for next week, which I think is much more manageable. I also got a coupon for $2 off any L'oreal skincare and I got an email for $4 off cosmetics which I didn't have a chance to print off yet.

On a different note I was looking at my receipt and total savings so far $107.46 since I started CVS shopping! Wow! That is pretty exciting since I have only been doing this since the end of September! I love CVS!
