My Puppy

BUMPER!!

World, this is Bumper. He's my best puppy friend ever. His real name is Bumper Pembleton III Crompton. His specialties include cuteness, cuddliness, and a natural perfection of squeeky toy squeeking. 

We got him back in March, and he was pretty much a gift from Annie, who did all the work to get him, and who even bargained the lady down to get him for a cheaper price. The moment we walked into the breeders house and saw how cute and tiny he was we fell right in love and new we wouldn't leave there without him! The very same day we got him we went to Annie's church basketball game, where Annie sprained her ankle SUPER bad. So Bumper's first night was spent in a hospital where I got to have some serious bonding time with him.

Once upon a time he was small enough to fit in my pocket. I took this picture to show Annie that I was going to take him to school with me. Unfortunately he grew, and no longer fits in my pocket :( My mom wants to breed him with Cali, so they can have cute little babies, and my plan is to keep one of them! :D Oh man it would just be the cutest little grandbaby ever. Also, as you can see, he just loves getting bathed. He's actually really good in the water now, when we take him to Bear Lake or First Dam he likes to swim around like a champ.

So I'm sure you're dying to know why he's Bumper Pembleton III Crompton. Let me explain. Annie and I had an obsession with Pitch Perfect (sad I know) at the time and wanted to name him after someone from it. We were gonna go with Benji, but we immediately realized that that was just too darn sad of a name. I'm sure Annie wanted to name him Jesse, but I just couldn't have my dog named after someone that my girlfriend wanted to marry. So we picked Bumper. It's funny cuz I kinda actually think he has Bumper's attitude (we're working with him on that though ;)  So where the heck did Pembleton come from? No idea. It just came out cuz I wanted to have a sophisticated name for him. So "III"? This part's good. Before Bumper me and Annie knew we wanted to get a puppy, and my dad mentioned that his coworker was trying to find a new home for his little Shih-Tzu. We went and they pretty much told us we could have her, then a few days later called and said nevermind. Those jerks broke our hearts. So when we went to a Real game one 

Saturday Annie took me to Build-A-Bear and she bought me Puppy II (seen half-way in the picture to the right). Then, a couple weeks later she found Bumper and so of course he is the third! Crompton, well that's just obvious. He's my dog!!!

Being a puppy owner isn't always easy though, that's for sure! A while back we had a little mishap where we left some Tylenol in the Jeep, and left him out there (with the windows rolled down of course!) and when we got back out there one of the Tylenol was gone :S  We called the vet and asked what we should do, and they had us induce vomiting in him with Hydrogen Peroxide, which was just so much fun. Anyway, needless to say, we felt super guilty and like awful parents but little Bumper survived it and we certainly learned something!

07.18.13 (The Day I Turned In My Application For Peru)

I turned in my application for the internship program yesterday! I wrote up my letter of intent on Tuesday on my way down to a work meeting with Jake, fixed up my rèsume and got ahold of my transcript yesterday, and sent it right in! I'm super stoked, I feel like my chances are much higher than before of being accepted because I found out I know the girl who does the hiring :p.  She let me bypass the university, and turn it in directly to her so here's for hoping! The hope is that I'll get word back in the next few days :)

The meeting was ÜBER ... fun? I'm just glad I got paid for it. 

Yesterday was more of the good ol' same ol' same ol'. Work for 8 hours, lots of indecision on what to do, and then deciding on watching Grey's Anatomy (3 episodes). Annie works tonight so not really sure what I'll do tonight to entertain myself till she gets home.

Here's a picture of Trina. Just Cause.
