Well, that was an interesting weekend to say the least.

On Friday we had to walk eight miles for a school field day. The weather was nice. 

I was driving back home from school when a careless driver got out of a parking lot and made a left turn on a right turn only sign. I guess you can imagine the rest. Thankfully, it's all cosmetic damage. The other driver did apologize profusely and admitted their fault. Fine. I made it home. 

 

Saturday morning rolls in, Zach got up first, let the two puppies out only to find out that the youngest puppy (90 lb and 7 months...) was "playing" with a squirrel, which of course at this point was the body of a squirrel. Puppy got called in, teeth got brushed, and all was said and done... Or at least that's what we thought. Puppy (from now on, Cocha) wanted to go out again, to what Zach thought potty but apparently he had other plans and he made himself a second toy squirrel.

 

I got up after all this happened, was ready to make some eggs for breakfast but I guess mother nature had other plans for me and the eggs were completely rotten... Which I realized after cracking them open and spilling some egg whites onto the pan... The smell was pungent. Zach and I ended up gagging. That was Saturday. The day got better.

 

Sunday morning rolls in, I went to cook eggs for breakfast and... guess what happened. Another rotten egg, another 10 minutes of gagging. After this,  I took the dogs to the dog park, I let them run free and wild, then we came back home Cocha wanted to go out. I let him out and he got the third squirrel. The whole weekend felt like events kept repeating as if in a loop!

It's really easy to forget that he's still a puppy and will do puppy "stuff".

From a coworker that has a registered farm! About two weeks ago, they were unwashed and outside of the fridge so it was all done properly on my end. I will just give her a heads up, I am sure there was no foul (fowl yes, there was fowl!) involved.

 

"Cocha" is named after his breeder "La Cocha". The farm is built near an native settlement, and in their language it means "Lake". The funny part is that when we were flying the puppy from Argentina to the US my husband was in between two names, Messi (it was right around the World Cup time that we got him) or Cocha.. So on papers he is Messi Cocha de La Cocha lol
