We're Adopting!!!!


This is the little lady I'm trying to adopt. Her name is Mitsy and I get to meet her on Sunday! I'm so excited! I cannot believe that Warren acquiesced! Wheeeeeeeeee!!!

She is a Shih Tzu. My first love is a Lhasa Apso but they seem really hard to come by. I am working with Colorado Shih Tzu and Maltese Rescue.

My girlfriend, Kim, does Mastiff Rescue. She pointed me in the right direction.

Miss Mitsy was in a puppy mill. :(

She is 3 years old, just got spayed, got all her shots, her teeth cleaned, and is recovering from kennel cough. She should be done with those treatments next week. With any luck we can bring her home.

Obviously it depends on whether or not she is 'the one'. The foster mom has 5 dogs. Who knows? Someone else could steal my heart.

Other than that, everyone else in the house is SICK! They have the coughing crud, bordering on bronchitis. Warren is even going to the doctor tomorrow........that's how bad it is.

I can only hope I don't get it.

TO BLAME OR NOT TO BLAME, THAT IS THE QUESTION

This has been on my mind a lot.  No, I'm not addicted; never used it, never will.  But things are a little different when you are living with the fact that you have a child who is addicted to .....heroin. All the talk in the world about don't do drugs didn't make a difference.  The DARE program didn't make a difference.  As a parent I feel like a complete and total failure, I did not make a difference. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that, for lack of a better terminology, I have a good daughter and a bad daughter. I live every day wondering, as I'm sure so many parents in my shoes do, "Is this they day I get the call? or, the knock on the door?"  Is this the day I find out if Hayley is dead? It has been over five years of manipulation, lies, stealing, police calls, social service intervention, school interventions.   When she first left home I prayed nothing would happen until she was over 18.  Thankfully, nothing did that I know abo...

So I visited the cardiologist today. This is really frustrating. It's like no one believes me because my blood pressure and heart beat are statistically fine, except no one wants to believe that I am having chest pains and heart palpitations. We'll schedule you for a stress test and echocardiogram in 3 weeks. Nice. Until then we'll give you a heart monitor. Every time you feel something press this button, and better yet, you get to keep a journal of when/where/what so that after you press the button 5 times, you get to call it in. Every time you press the button, it buzzes for one minute. This is going to go over really well at work. The little sticky electrode things are suppose to make my skin raw......that'll be fun, don't you think. After the pepper dinner disaster last night, Warren went to the man cave and didn't emerge until he left for work this morning. I've not heard hide nor hair from him today, although I do know he has class. I'm mak...

No Witty Title Here

I'm not even sure I have anything witty to say. We had a really lovely morning, nice and quiet and relaxing. We had to take Hayley to get science project supplies and then stopped for lunch at Johnny Carino's. Hayley begged and pleaded for us to take her to the movies. We ended up seeing Marley and Me. It was a fabulously lighthearted, feel good movie....up until the last 20 minutes or so. It was just a bit too emotional for me, at least. Five tissues, at least. I'm still heart palpitating on a daily basis, although not as much as I did the first week. I'll have to get back to you on other stuff, because, quite frankly, I just can't think of anything to write.
