October 18, 2006 – Wednesday – Oh Boy we have another dog! My son Anthony brought a dog to my house because it was at the pound and this was his last day on earth unless he was adopted. He can not have any pets at his place so he brought it over here. Now I have 3 dogs!! This is just insane. First of all the other 2 dogs are females (one is fixed but the other is too young and will not be sterilized until after Christmas). This dog is a sterilized male, 6 months old and is a Black Lab /Bull Terrier mix. His body looks like a lab but his face looks like a bull terrier. He is BIG, at least 45 pounds and is a ball of energy. My older female is a little dog but she is fearless. The Germen Shepard/boxer mix 2 month old puppy is very scared of the new dog. Roscoe (the older female) is very protective of Ginger (the 2 month old). She gets right in the face of this huge new dog (still nameless) It is hilarious to watch them together. Roscoe is queen of the dog world at my house. She is ruling the yard and the house. I hope everyone can get a long because I really want the new dog to be able to stay. I will post a photo soon. Oh! The other crazy thing is the dog keeps wanting to drink out of the pool. We bought him a HUGE water bowl but he just keeps going to the pool for water. Silly dog!
Today was day 3 of staying completely compliant. I have horrible cramps because it is that time of the month again! Also, I am sure my weight is up because I am retaining water like crazy. I hope that by Sunday it will be over and I reach my goal of joining the 80 pound club this weekend.
I am getting lots of projects completed around the house in anticipation of my return to work next week. It is funny now that I am nearing the end of my self imposed leave all these projects seen very urgent. I really want them done so I won’t have to think about them. We have a ton of donations to take to the Goodwill on Friday and that is our finish line for all projects. When done everything my offspring had been “temporarily storing” at my house will be GONE! I am doing the happy dance about that one.
Tomorrow should be another great day and I am taking it one day at a time
