that toy didn't last long

I will start out by saying I love my dog...promise.  But having her is like having a child!!! I get no sleep!  And the sleep I do get is interrupted every hour by Juliette jumping onto my bed to cuddle (and by cuddle I mean try to completely lay on top of me) or she's already on the bed and is rolling around trying to wake me up to play.  Its exhausting.  And since I haven't officially adopted her yet, she is still not fixed which means she attracts all unfixed males like flies to poop. Yes poop.  She whines for no apparent reason, has to have someone petting her at ALL times, is as stubborn as a mule and all at the same time is just too dang cute.  I bought her a squeaky toy last week, it had 5 squeaky things in it.  The label said it was super tough and hard for dogs to rip apart.....
This is about 4 hours after she got it.... super tough my rear!!!  The only squeaky thing she has yet to pull out is the one in the butt and she keeps pulling stuffing out.  I only let her keep it because it keeps her ocupado while I'm cleaning or cooking.  
I'm taking miss Juliette with me to Oregon on Friday.  My mom's side of the family is having our annual family reunion.  We'll be somewhere near Newport camping.  I love camping at the coast.  Granted its not real camping; campsites and showers and what not.  But it's still fun seeing all the aunts, uncles, cousins and of course the many dogs that my family has: Kevin and Laurie's 2 yellow labs, Matt and Casey's  black lab, Klint's black lab that could actually be classified as a horse, Jenessa's little mutt dog whatever he is, my families poodle and pom (although they won't be there, sad face) my grandma's 4.... yes 4 little black toy poodles, Michelle's aussie shepherd, Adam and Krista's english mastiff puppy and now my Juliette.  Needless to say our family really likes animals.  I didn't even name off all the other cats and horses but trust me, there's a lot.  I'm so excited to see everyone though.  Especially my little cousins and second cousins.
Also while I'm in Oregon I'll be going to my friends Audrey and Ryan's wedding. (It's about dang time I tell ya.)  I'll get to see a bunch of my Oregonian friends, most of which I haven't seen in probably a year.  I'll be posting pictures from the Oregon trip when I get back!
