Warning – super crazy dog lady post ahead!

I love my girls! They are just so cute! 12.27uploaddslr 040 I was worried about Harvey being scared/sad (I actually started crying when we first drove away with her – I figured the poor baby had to be so confused and sad! I knew her foster home had taken amazing care of her, but she had to be thinking “Oh no! Why am I being taken away from my Mommy again!”) – but she warmed right up to both of us!

Her and Lando had a great time romping around – and if anyone was having a hard time getting adjusted – it was my little Princess Lando! 12.27uploaddslr 048 So Mike and I split up the lovin’ – and he made sure to pay extra special attention to Harvey – and I (like usual) – made sure to pay extra special attention to Lando!

Here’s Lando’s dialogue yesterday (a la crazy dog mommy Allison)

“Mommy – is that other dog still behind me?” She is, isn’t she. I can’t look – Can you please make her go away so I can be so stupid spoiled all by myself? Squirrel!?!?! Ugh – I saw here – she’s still there. 12.27uploaddslr 010 What’s that? Treat?!?!?! 12.27uploaddslr 013 She likes the same things as me… 12.27uploaddslr 020 I guess she isn’t terrible… 12.27uploaddslr 025 I think I love my new sister… 12.27uploaddslr 029 Oh – what’s that? Are you screaming “This is a food blog for Christ sake – enough about your dogs!” Yeah, yeah – I know – I know!

Since we wanted to make sure the pups felt comfortable and got acclimated to everything easily yesterday – Mike and I made sure we had NO plans whatever – and didn’t even get out of our pajamas all day. (Okay – maybe the pajama thing had nothing to do with the dogs – we just used it as an excuse!)

Thank god for Applebee’s Carside-To-Go! We got an appetizer sampler that I only stole a few bites of – because I was super excited to try one of Applebee’s “Under 550 Calories” dishes – the Spicy Shrimp Diavolo!

This was: spicy tomato-basil Diavolo sauce with chili-seasoned shrimp tossed with diced vegetables. Served over a warm bed of whole wheat penne pasta and topped with shredded Parmesan.

So. Freaking. Delicious! If I would have tried this blindly – I never would have guessed it came from Applebee’s!

For dinner – I decided it was time to finally try the parsnips that I had sitting in the fridge for 2 weeks now… 12.27uploaddslr 037 I decided I hated them, prepared them wrong, or they were too “old” and had gone bad. They had a really stringy texture that I did not like – and had a really weird taste. I wouldn’t rule them out yet – but my first experience with them was not a good one!

Instead – I made some Velveeta Skim Milk Mac, and roasted some broccoli to throw in there too! 12.27uploaddslr 043 Now that’s a good dinner!

I promise after today I’ll stop talking about the dogs so much! I’ll go back to talking about the dogs “a normal amount” tomorrow!

No, don’t stop talking about the dogs! They’re adorable. Thank you for rescuing.

Oh, and since it’s a food blog…that shrimp dish looks great! I’ll have to try it sometime.
