This is my first opportunity to sit down and have time to myself. Here it is almost 9 pm on a sunday night. I got mad at my husband because he was watching “Planet earth” on Discovery and they were about to show a snow leopard hunting a mountain goat and frankly I know its nature but I don’t care to see it. My husband was all like “What’s the big deal” and refusing to change the channel knowing it was about to happen. I raised my voice a little and said it’s a big deal because I don’t want to see it and then I left the room leaving him with this child who refuses to go to sleep despite being overly tired. Awh the silence….after 7 minutes of crying, the little boy decides to sleep! I guess my husband was too busy watching little animals get eaten to entertain the little boy and decided to just put him to bed.
But anyways, like I said this is my first opportunity to sit here this weekend. Overall it has been a good weekend. Started my weekend off early by meeting a friend for dinner and shopping on Thursday night followed by more shopping on friday morning (went back and bought an outfit I’d seen the night before and got an even better deal on it), loaded up a bunch of stuff I’d been gathering up to take to a local animal shelter’s thrift shop finally and hauled it over there. I got there before they opened but they left me bring my stuff on in but I made the mistake of waiting the 15 minutes till they opened because I wanted to take a look at one of the dogs I’d seen on their website. BIG MISTAKE…..the dog I wanted to see was barking at me so there was not a connection right away but in the next cage over was this little either pomeriane or poodle dog who looked so sad and when I went over to him and pet him he was all over himself getting the love. He was so soft and sweet I just couldn’t take my eyes off him. I asked the lady up front and she said that that one was a stray and they had to hold him for ten days before he could be adopted and there was another rat terrier one next to him that was in the same situation. Okay…………..should I go back in 10 days? Don’t ask me why but I feel the need to get another animal….I lost two of my cats last year and although she wasn’t really mine anymore, one of my mom’s dogs died last year too along with a few cats as well…last year was a bad year as for as loss of pets. Even though I know have this happy little baby to love I still have a hole in my heart for a little four legged creature. The problem is..okay my current pets have been so good with the baby so far. Little boy grabs all over them and the only time the dog even made a sound was one time when the boy crawled up while Charlie was eating a dog biscuit. The cats too are very tolerant of the baby. Now if I bring a new dog or cat into the house will that upset the balance? I can’t have a new dog biting at the baby, the cats or not getting along with the other dogs. I already got a dose of that when my co-worker tried to give me a weinie dog….my back yard dog Tina attacked her! But this little dog was so sweet and gentle…surely he wouldn’t mind the baby….and there is this other problem that comes in the form of the HUSBAND……he said….I can not get another animal although in the instance where the weinie dog was coming he seemed to back down because I had already said “TOO BAD I WAS GETTING THIS WEINIE DOG!” I told my mom today about the little dog I saw friday. I figured she’d say…”Becky you don’t need another dog” but she actually acted like I should go get it…she even said “forget about what Tom said…he’ll get over it”. My Dad used to be the same way when my mom or us would bring home animals but he’d always get over and was just as much a softy as we were.
I may go ahead and email the lady over the shelter and ask her to let me know when the dog is available and that I was interested. I’m not going to get my hopes up since afterall the dog was picked up as a stray and his real owners might be looking for him (of course that’s the best scenerio for him to find his owners).
In other news…I didn’t walk this weekend nor did I get a chance to read my new diet book. I did buy the ingredients for one of the smoothies so will be making that tomorrow plus I was mindful in my grocery shopping and bought mostly healthy snacks.
