I think we can relate...


Sometimes I feel sorry for people who don't have a pet or don't want one. They will just never know how awesome pets are. Regardless of what they are. Sometimes you don't need words, you just need someone, something just be there and love you.

Even if it is just because of the cookies in your pocket. :) 
Sometimes you just need to be needed.

...1...2...3..little doggies

Sometimes... I'm pretty sure I do run a kennel. 
Current Dog Count: 5 
I'm sure you guys remember Lacy. She's a regular around here, but in the last few days Lacy has gained a sister! Stella is their newest family member and is quite stressed to be here. Hopefully she'll calm down over the next couple of days. Which since they'll be in the care of my awesome dog sitter will be nothing more than a "hope" for me. :)

....Heellllooooooooo!

I know what you're thinking, and you're right. Its been way.to.long.
In my defense life has changed a LOT since August, so much so I even thought about taking this blog down completely even though I know I can't. The good news is Bubbles, Texas and David are still alive and well. Bubbles celebrated her 13th birthday by ... well sleeping all day, and eating dinner when I came home from work. David is officially a year old, and quite the obnoxious teenager, and Texas is growing and becoming more mellow at the old age of four.

I started working full time as a vet receptionist in October and haven't seemed to have a moment to spare. The dachshunds have got to feel neglected sometimes, but I haven't felt uber motivated to $300 worth of shots and tests done just yet in order for them to come with me; Not to mention I doubt they'd particularly enjoy being kenneled all day...

I also had to give up my computer when I moved to my new position, as my old job was only loaning it to me. And I'm only typing this right now on the good graces of a friend being out of town, and loaning me her laptop.

I am hopeful that I will once again be a computer owner, well as soon as I hear back from this guy on Craigslist that is. :) The problem is I haven't been able to bring myself to switch from being a Mac Owner to a PC. Yes my work laptop was a PC but it was free. [Beggers can't be choosers] and I've decided that I'd rather save and get what I want, then settle for less.

So its been a couple of months since I've been a computer owner, and believe it or not I've survived.

Thank God for my iPhone.

But I'm digressing from the doggy ness of this post.

At this moment I currently have six dogs in my house.

"What are you nuts?"

Yeah, pretty much. And a really good friend. This should earn me major brownie points. :)

For the most part things have gone smoothly, everyone pretty much is separate except when I'm present, and even then David is still on the outs. For some reason I was thinking Collies were meek and mild dogs, but Dave has worked to prove me very wrong by being the biggest, loudest, obnoxious dog around.  It doesn't earn him friends or influence other dogs.

Which is funny because that is usually Texas's distinction, but TEXAS has accepted all three of these guys with NO PROBLEMS. Like, no growling, no constant watching their every movements, no constant corrections of their nervous behavior.

Who IS this dog?

Happy..Birthday?

This post is in honor of Texas's 4th birthday, July 6, 2012 - Yes I realized that its way to far gone to even consider this belated, but you know. First off I can't believe he's FOUR, where has the time gone? I would love to say something like "he keeps life interesting" but I've gotta be honest here, Texas is pretty boring. 95% of his day is spent sleeping, or begging food from me. But I wouldn't trade him for the world. He is a great cuddler (occasionally) a great watch dog (as long as I'm home, otherwise he's pointing out the valuables in attempt to spare himself), a good car rider (as long as we're moving) and loves everybody (as long as they are female and they've met before). 

Really though, I love this little guy. :)

Happy Belated, Belated, Belated Birthday Tex!
