Lola is doing much better. She spent several days sleeping and not eating very much, but now she is eating like normal and is back to playing with toys. Which I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. It’s good because it means she’s feeling better, and I don’t want her to be [...]

back in the saddle
I know I haven’t posted in quite a while. First I was busy, then it just became habit not to write.
But lately I’ve been feeling the itch to write again. So I’m going to try to post more often.
Quite a bit has happened since my last post. Lets see, what to start with….
I lost my [...]

Lola – Weeks 2 & 3
Things aren’t going as well as I had hoped. Over all Lola is still a pretty good dog, and she has definately improved, but she is really used to getting away with stuff and she is constantly trying to push my limits and see if I will catch her in it. Like jumping and pulling on the [...]

Lola – the first week
It has now been a full week since I got my dog Lola. And what a week it has been! I thought I’d give the over all report on how things have changed, and boy have they ever.
Lola was really good the first two days I had her (saturday and sunday the 15th and 16th), [...]

Lola – Day 4
Lola was much better last night. She still tried to grab onto the leash on our walk, but would stop when I told her to. She didn’t spend most of the walk pulling, which was really nice. I still had to correct her, but she didn’t pull all over the place.
I took her for a [...]

frustrating night
Yesterday was a little bit of a bad day with Lola. She was just always doing little naughty things, one thing after another. It didn’t help that I was already tired from a rough night of sleep the night before.
The first thing was that she thinks it’s fun to grab the leash and play tug of [...]

Puppy!
The reason I didn’t blog much last week was because I found a puppy! I went to the humane society on tuesday and totally fell in love. I thought I would just look, but it didn’t turn out that way.
So my new puppy, who I’ve named Lola, is a female german shepherd mix with [...]

my weekend – not what I had planned – part 2
So I realized last night as I was driving home that I was being silly, obsessing about this dog stuff.
I have the strong belief that what is meant to be will be. So if I am meant to have Puffin, I will get her. If I am not meant to have her, then it won’t work out. [...]

my weekend – not what I had planned
So I had planned to drive down to my mom’s after work on friday, visit grandpa in the hospital that night, and then on saturday morning go see Puffin at the kennel, and then after that go see Erin at her foster mom’s house. That was the plan.
My grandpa had a biopsy procedure on thursday afternoon [...]

update on my talk with Erin’s foster mom
So I talked to Erin’s foster mom for about 45 minutes last night. She had nothing but good things to say about her. She said that she is an absolute dream. Apparently she doesn’t have any bad habits. But that could be love talking…. It is obvious that she is deeply in love with her, but [...]

if it’s not one thing it’s another
I got a call from my greyhound adoption rep Cindy last night. She told me that the dogs at the kennel have kennel cough. So no dogs are allowed in or out. They have to keep them quarantined for 2 weeks after the last dog coughs. So sometimes they are only quarantined for 3 weeks, [...]

hump day
So today is hump day. The middle of the work week.
I normally don’t “celebrate” hump day. I really don’t care. I do the same work no matter if it’s monday or friday, or anywhere in between. But, because I can’t wait to see Puffin on saturday, I want this week to be over. Now.
Do you [...]
