Complaining today...

Is it possible that my case of the Mondays has become a case of the Tuesdays?
Things have calmed down a little but I think the last three days has been full of mostly bad news. I am going to list them in hopes of being done with it all!
  • Came home and my carpet is full of mud. If you are going to try to help, do it in a way that doesn't cost me time and money.

  • Someone made a bitch comment about me at dinner- rad

  • Charlie is no longer going to the Secondhand Hounds Silent Auction with me... solo

  • Memorial Weekend plans are no more, will likely have to spend the holiday alone since everyone I know is going to be out of town.

  • The dogs are overwhelming me. Saturday they freaked out at the Walk for Animals and Titan ran over a pre-teen who was sitting on the sidewalk. The whole deal was totally humiliating and disheartening. I wish that I could make my dogs behave perfectly but some days they have minds of their own!

  • Bills are getting out of control lately. This year has been very expensive and lots of this stuff is coming due in the next month- two lasik loans, Charlie's wisdom teeth bill, endless Costco bill.

  • Too many parties- fun but it's getting expensive

  • I could also kick myself for not getting full rent for the month of May... idiot me.

  • A puppy that was adopted from SHH was stolen out of his home the other day!! Who would do that??

  • Charlie's new work schedule changed and therefore my plans have changed.

  • Titan ripped apart my Calvin Klein duvet cover that I LOVED from inside his kennel.

  • Interesting work news, not really that positive

Overall I would just like a little sunshine to come into my week! Is that so much to ask? I am not letting this all totally overwhelm me, but it brings me down when everything feels like its turned upside down.

One bit of good news, there may be someone interested in adopting Titan. He is a great dog, I just need to work on the introduction. He can't be away from Millie and Millie is out of control... hmm time to get creative!

Adventures in Fostering!

Our first foster dog, Pepper, has just been adopted! They are picking him up on Saturday. Very exciting for him! I thought it wasn't going to happen after Pepper humped the man that came to see him!! Omg... Keep it cool Pep.


He is a great dog but I think we have decided that two dogs is too many for our house. I know I will do it again but I think I need a month off. The worst part is that we only had Pepper for a week! Sometimes you may have a foster dog for 3 months!! I would be pickier about who we fostered next time. I may even just want a tiny puppy if we did it again but then they might pee all over and chew everything :)


Millie loved Pepper at first but then for the last few days she just seems too worn out to even do anything! This whole thing made me realize how well behaved and well trained she really is. She is a great dog!


So farewell Pepito! Best of luck to you and your new family. Stop jumping on people!!
