Dakota + Acorn = A Weinerful Time
Perhaps you shouldn't give small objects to little dogs....they tend to try to eat things when they are finished playing with it, almost like children?! Probably better we learn this lesson now before we have kids.....

All Work, No Play
In case you haven't noticed the trend of my blog lately, you'll see that I only update on Monday's. I guess you can blame that on the fact that nothing interesting happens during my work week, hence nothing to blog about, and then the weekend finally arrives and flies by, and I'm eagerly counting down til Friday again! Well, heck, at least I have two days out of the week to look forward to :) Anyway, this past weekend was no exception. It was great, and there's nothing better to perk up the Monday Blues by reminiscing.
This weekend, we got out again with my friend Ang and her boyfriend Mike, to a new campground along the Maryland/PA border. Since they reside in Bethesda, MD, we were trying to find a campground at the halfway point, and I think this particular campground was the best we could find. It was called Hidden Springs Campground, right by Rocky Gap State Park, which was beautiful, and nestled in the PA mountains. It took us about 2 1/2 hrs. to get there (a bit too far if it were just me & Ross) but perfect for meeting in the middle. The campground itself was nice, once Ang & Mike explored and found a good site.
They got there a few hrs. before me & Ross, so they were in charge of checking out our site to see if A) it was wooded and shaded, B) if it was private (to avoid Dakota's insistent barking at ppl) and C) away from all the noisy RV's! ha. Well, they were ready to call it a weekend as soon as they got there! To their horror (and ours), our (original) site was located directly across from all the seasonal RV's (aka fake green grass carpet, and an overabundance of tacky lawn ornaments), provided only a few trees for shade (not nearly enough when they were calling for 105 degree weather!) and the sites were very crammed, sitting one on top of the other (I'm sure Dakota would've enjoyed it!). So after making a quick U-turn back to the campground store to inquire about some other sites, they found a perfect site located in the "Tent Area", which by the way, was the only area in the woods. Again, we're not sure why we weren't originally placed there after Ang specifically asked for privacy, woods, shade, lots of room for 2 TENTS, etc. Out of about 15 tent sites, only 2 were already reserved, so they were lucky to have their pick. I was relieved to show up and see that we had everything we had wanted. So after the initial reaction, we loved our site and the campground.
The only con of the whole weekend (besides the heat) were the rules of Rocky Gap State Park. We had anticipated on going swimming at their "beaches" in the lake, but they didn't allow dogs in any of the areas. We had to do a little of our own exploring on the trails to find a spot to get into the water with Dakota, but nothing was sandy except for what they had reserved as the swimming beaches. It's always dissapointing to not be allowed pets, especially when it's such a family-oriented place, and who doesn't treat their dogs like family anymore these days?! So we didn't spend as much time there as we would've liked. Normally, I don't mind putting her in her crate, but in that kind of heat, I didn't want to take the chance.
So overall, we had a great weekend! We can't wait to go back and try out another site that was even better than ours (but already taken). And hopefully next time the heat won't be so bad. After this weekend, I've finally found a flaw with our tent.... it allows NO air circulation! HA. But I still love it.
On a side note.... Happy 2-Year Anniversary to my hubby :) (wow! can't believe it's been 2 yrs. already!!)

Cooper's Lake Campground
Well, now that we've tried Cooper's Lake Campground, I can say that we're never going back. Maybe it was just us, but it didn't help that the weekend started off badly. Luckily, it ended on a good note....
Friday I got out of work at 4:00 in anticipation of Ross already being home from work, and having the car packed and ready to go by the time I got home. Well, didn't we jinx ourselves. Not only did Ross not get home until I did, but it also started to pour as soon as we were getting ready to pack the car. It was raining pretty badly all day, but it seemed like it would rain for 10 min.'s, then stop, then start again, etc. So I decided we should just try to wait it out again rather than packing the car in the rainstorm and rushing to get to the campground only to sit in the rain some more. Surely it would stop. WRONG! 5:00 rolls by, still pouring (and I remind you, this was not just a drizzle). 6:00 rolls by, Ross falls asleep on the couch, and I finally turn the tv on since staring out the window doesn't seem to be doing any good. Finally, 7:00 rolls by and I wake Ross up. We need to make a decision - either we go now, or don't go at all, b/c by the time we pack and get up there, we're going to be setting up in the dark. We decide to finally pack up the car, in the rain, and get on the road (after changing into dry clothes!). I was checking the weather religously and it looked like the storm would be stopping soon up north, so hopefully it'll be done raining by the time we get there.
Luckily, the campground was only 30 min.'s north of Cranberry, so it was a short drive. We stopped at Burger King for dinner so we wouldn't have to worry about making a fire if it was still raining. We got to the campground around 8:15 pm, with the rain having finally stopped, which, only minutes prior, I was freaking out b/c I thought I rememberd hearing that the office closed at 8:00 pm, and since they didn't take reservations, we would have no way of checking-in. Well, lo and behold, they were open til 9:00 pm, *relief*, so we checked in. We wanted to drive around first to check out the campground, but the lady assured me there were plenty of spots, and to just drive around until we find an area we liked, and camp there, so I went ahead and paid. Well, we drove around. And drove. And drove. One area was complete mud from the rain. No thanks. We drove to another area, but were confused b/c we couldn't tell where the sites were (since they weren't marked). We'd find, what we thought would be a site, but would be missing a picnic table. Then we'd find another nice site, but it's missing a fire ring. Again, and again. What's the deal?! So after driving around the entire campground twice, we had to make the call. Stay or leave? Well, I said, let's drive around one more time. Surely, there has to be *somewhere!* that has a nice spot with both a fire ring AND a picnic table! And I felt bad that I already made the decision to pay and probably couldn't get our money back. So by this point, we just wanted to find a spot, ANY spot. Finally, in the very back of the campground, we found a site. Now it was 8:48 pm and getting dark, especially since we're camping in the woods. AND, we still have to buy firewood if we wanted to build a fire that night, before the store closed at 9:00! So we unloaded the trunk at our site, literally throwing things on the picnic table, trusting it to be safe while we ran to the store (it was, but you can imagine me freaking out the whole time, b/c really, what else could go wrong). We got to the store at 8:58 pm, and luckily, were just in time to buy wood.
So Friday night was definitely not what we had in mind. Camping is supposed to be relaxing, not stressful, and not fun when setting up in the dark. At least on Saturday we had the perfect weather! We had some great food, I got to enjoy some time reading and we just relaxed. We brought Dakota along, which drove us crazy. Normally, I like having her around (unlike Ross, who could do without a dog for a weekend), but this time, she just barked at people, ALL DAY, since people were constantly going by our site. I need to get a handle on her, and why she can't just "give up." So besides her, it was a nice weekend. We won't be going back though, b/c the chances of finding the one spot we mildly liked, is slim, since they don't take reservations. We're moving on.
Maybe next weekend we can drive around to a few campgrounds and check them out, now that we have some suggestions from people. Or at the very least, we have Scarlett Knob as our back-up until we find somewhere better :)

Ross vs. Dakota
They always have a constant battle going. It's exhausting really. You see, when we brought Dakota home, she apparently chose me as her 'one-and-only' favorite person. Apparently, it's a dachshund thing....they attach to one owner, and ignore the rest. So you can see why Ross feels left out in the cold. I don't blame him...we wanted a dog we could both enjoy, and instead, we got a dog that I LOVE, and he basically just accepts, lol. Which puts me in the middle of their ongoing battles....
Let me explain. Dakota has one VERY annoying habit. One that Ross & I both hate. One that I always end up giving into...every...time. For whatever reason, Dakota LOVES to "accidentally" throw her toys down a staircase. Now, for the first 1 & 1/2 yrs. of her life, she didn't know how to go down steps (only up, but that's ANOTHER story), so she would have no way to retreive her toy, until me or Ross finally got it. Well, there's a really long staircase in our apt. that leads down to the garage with a door at the bottom, that she refuses to go down. I don't blame her, it's a very long staircase, especially for a weiner dog. BUT, she must enjoy it in some way b/c it's perfect for throwing her toys down. It was funny...the first time ....and even the 2nd ....but not the 3rd. The funniest was her tennis ball, you'd see her playing with it at the edge of the staircase (her own fault) and then you'd hear, bum-bump bump bump bum-bump. ha!
So this is where Ross comes in. He finally put his foot down. He has ordered me to not save her toys this time so she can learn a lesson! (Should I remind him again that we're talking about a dog, and not a child?!) So far, at the bottom of our staircase, we have a tennis ball, a stuffed porcupine, and a stuffed bullet (thanks to Ross' brother, haha). SO....I guess we're going to count how many toys Dakota can get down there until the battle is won. I'm not sure how Ross win's...I guess until she runs out of toys....surely THEN I can carry them back up!
But I swear, I get in the middle of more of their fights then anyone else in my entire life. Our house is quite the amusement...

My Hot Dog can Swim...
So I promised on Facebook that I would supply pics of Dakota taking her first swim, and instead of posting them to the whole world, I thought I would share them on here instead :) We went camping this past weekend with the whole family and were located right beside a river. On Saturday, a few of us decided to go kayaking, hence the reason we were in the water, and Ross was anxious to see if his dog could swim (after all she is unusually long for a weiner dog) but I knew she could do it....I mean, really...her paws are huge! She's got weird webbed duck feet....
Anywho! Let's take a look....
Ross is still holding her here, getting her prepared for the water....
At this point, Ross is bent over from laughing so hard. He was still holding her, about 2" above the water, and her instincts must've kicked in, b/c her paws just started paddling in the air! Our dog was ready to go! It really was hysterical....
Her first swim complete! Of course, she swam right to me, begging to be saved....
Her first swim complete! Of course, she swam right to me, begging to be saved.... That was fun! Let's do it again....
pssss - Did anyone notice Ross' extreme farmer's tan?!?! HA! Too bad you couldn't see his legs, those are the whitest.Anyways, it was hysterical seeing her paddle through that water. I couldn't believe how well she did (of course, she couldn't go long distance or anything like that). But best of all...she dried in about 40 minutes. Did I mention how much I love having a short-haired dog?! Of course, I'm sure it helped when I put her on my lap and she shook it all off on me. O well...I was wet before anyhow :)

The Big Move
Well, not yet. The big move is not 'til next Sunday, but Ross & I got a lot accomplished today to get ready for the move. We brought over 2 cars full of boxes in order to get a head start on moving. My grandma helped me clean the new apartment today while waiting for my delicious new washer & dryer to arrive. And when they did, I surely did a happy dance. I can't wait to do laundry without quarters!! I unpacked a few boxes, but there are definitely many more to go which will wait until we have some help next weekend. The old apartment is slowly getting packed up. Everyday I choose to eliminate something else and pack it away until next week. I can't believe how much stuff we have! And I've always been the frugal one in my family...geesh. (On another note....at least I did NOT have 5 boxes of "Kitchen Gadgets"!! *ahem* michelle. j/k, wait, no, she really DID have a million boxes of kitchen gadgets. Ok, ok, I should be nice or else she won't help us move.)
It's bittersweet saying good-bye to the old place, but I'm excited for some change. And I can already tell Dakota is going to love her big yard at the new place, as she was roaming around off-leash today for awhile, and surprisingly enough, did not run away.... Aw shucks, she must like me, she really really likes me! *ahem* Anywho, I'll be ecstatic to finally no longer have to look at a box! We've been packing up (out of boredom!) for the last 2 months. Unemployment does some weird things to you.
Besides that, I have an interview on Tuesday I'm excited about...andddd there I go jinxing it (maybe you should all wish me luck). And I've been applying to jobs for Ross (with his permission) since he seems to have no free time anymore, now that he's landscaping. He will def. owe me his life (o wait, isn't that what marriage is for?!?! j/k, j/k....it's because we LURV each other) if I get him a job.
So it seems like life is always keeping us on our toes at the Seibert household! But on another note....I hate packing... and moving.... who's idea was this anyway?!

Dakota vs. Snow
I think my car is the 3rd blob over!(scratch that....apparently that is Ross' car! Mine is to the left of it,
which I thought was an SUV! HA)
UPDATE: Ok, ok, I feel kinda bad about dunking D in the snow, but don't worry, we took her 0ut later to the barely touched parking lot, and she loved it. :) And I even have a video to prove it. So lesson learned....dogs do not liked being thrown into snow that is 4 times taller than them, but enjoy frolicking in the snow at their own risk :)

Halloween Pics
Ok, so just a few cute Halloween pics I thought I'd share....
.jpg)
Yup...our dog looks mildly p***ed off. At one point, the hat slid all the way down over her eyes, and she didn't even flinch...hil-ar-ious. We didn't shell out the money to buy her the bumblebee costume I wanted to get her (not worth $30! + s&h) so we dressed her in her Mickey T-shirt and Mickey ears....courtesy of Ross' parents who were just at Disney World this past week.
.jpg)
.jpg)
Again, she's not too happy about the get-up. But don't feel bad, she got even with me yesterday by chewing holes through 4 pairs of my underwear! So I'm giving her the silent treatment. I think it's working. ...maybe... I haven't thrown her ball in over 24 hours. Yup... I think she knows why.......

Blog Baby Neglect
I see that I've been neglecting my blog lately, and not keeping up-to-date on everyone elses. My bad. Apparently I had some of your URL's set wrong, and I didn't get the appropriate updated blog list like I had intended. O well. No harm done, all is fixed!
Anyways, I have a few cute 'family' (yes, me, ross & the dog ...I consider us a family because it makes me uncharistically and uber-excited-happy (yes, i have a fondness for the word 'uber') to have a family to call my own, even if there are no lil' ross' (O MY!) or lil' kristin's (YIKES!) running around. Scary image...i know, but dont' worry, that's a super long way down the road!) (....what was i writing about?!) o yeah, family Halloween pics I keep meaning to post, but of course, as soon as I get home from work, I forget b/c the last thing I really want to do is go on the computer, since I just finished an 8-hour day of being on the computer all day. (Which, by the way, has been freezing a LOT today, so i'm even more annoyed by technology today than I am on other days.)
I'll post those in no time...er, maybe....if I remember. Well, keep writing, because I love to see updated pictures and posts about what everyone else is up to! Always good to keep in touch, via technology, with family & friends :)

Hello New Blog :)
Well, I got my new blog up & running. In with the new, out with the old (Xanga, that is). It was time for a fresh start, a new blog, and a new outlook on life (right?!). Anyways, I always love to read blogs from some of my other family members to see what's new and interesting in their lives, and to not feel so out-of-touch with people. As for me, life is smooth sailing, as always. Ross will be finishing up his Master's @ IUP in December (yay!) and will hopefully then be working full-time. Extra moo-lah anyone?! Nope, not us, we'll actually be working towards saving for a house one day down the road, since we are both tired of the '1-bdrm apt.' living situation. A place to call our own is on the top of my wish list right now :) So other than that, life hasn't changed much for us.

Dakota is keeping us happy and keeping our lives interesting, but we love her (don't let Ross fool you when he says otherwise!). I even bought her an adorable hoodie for camping. HA! I'm NOT one of those 'i-dress-my-dog-in-ppl-clothes-b/c-i-think-its-a-human' people, but its been getting chilly out and she's been cold at night while camping, so i had to do something about it. Anyways, the hoodie was the only appropriate choice b/c what else do you wear when you go camping?! It even has her name stenciled on the back thanks to me having too much time on my hands :) O so appropriate for D and her stylish ways.Anyways, don't worry, this blog is NOT all about D, she just happens to be the most amusing things in our lives thus far :)
