This week at Kelly's Korner we are talking about pets. I am a hugeee animal lover :) 3 Christmas ago my room mate brought home this little guy. Benson Brogan - our beloved St. Bernard.

He is now this guy....

We also have one Siamese cat - Emerson. She thinks she is dog so she fits right in :)

Not me Monday

Are you feeling guilty for drinking chocolate milk out of a dark mug so that your child wouldn't know you were drinking it? Hope that no one heard you arguing with your husband in the car in the grocery store parking lot? Overcome with embarrassment when you got your period while wearing white pants? Well don't be! Not Me! Monday was born out of my desire to admit some of my imperfections and reveal a few moments I'd rather forget. You may find it therapeutic to join in and do the same thing! http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ MckMama, has done it again. Another NOT ME MONDAY.....

• I didn't get a puppy this weekend, although I know, I KNOW that my time is very scarce. He wouldn't be an 11 month old Boston Terrier. And I won't be posting pictures soon :)

• I would NEVER fall in love with a dog over night. I would never feel guilty about having to get rid of Lyric but still get another animal. (BTW Lyric is loving her new life, I stopped by and visited her a few minutes ago! She is in Princess Kitty land, no joke...more on that later)

• I would never eat McDonalds for breakfast TWO days in a row.

• Finally I would never leave laundry in the washer all weekend, only to have to rewash it last night to get that musty smell out of it so I can dry it and put it away. I would never then forget about it AGAIN and have to start the process again tonight :)

Have a great Monday!

Sad

My roommate has a cat, Lyric. She has became like my cat. (I do have a cat, but she thinks she is a dog - different post, different day). She sleeps with me, loves me and is such a good cat. EXCEPT she is using the bathroom all over the house. I mean everywhere. I've had her medically checked, nothing there. She is mad at us (so I believe) because we are no longer home 12 hours a day. I don't nap with her or play with her (she was very, very lovey) as much as I used to. (Lack of TIME) So I put an ad on Crai-gs List. I had the perfect person contact me. She will give Lyric a better home, she will love her and she wants her so badly. I know in my heart this is right. I mean, I am the one who hates cats but for some reason I love her. But when I get home tonight, her new "mom" will come get her. And for some reason it is tearing me up. Geesh. Maybe because this is the first animal I've ever had a "connection" to. I know it is right, I know it is. But it hurts....all over a silly cat, Crazy huh? Here is her first bath pic....

She has such pretty blue eyes, but the flash makes them red

I hope Lyric is very, very happy in her new home.....

Dog or no Dog?

My room mate has a beautiful St. Bernard, Ben, who I love very very much. But he isn't mine. I help take care of him when she is out of town, but he is her dog and they have that connection.

I have been presented with an opportunity for a Fench Bul*ldog. I thought I posted the link for the puppy, but it isn't showing up. Hmmmm. I will fix that when I get to my computer, I am in the lab now watching students take Comps. Anyways....

The pup is NOT the price shown, he has been reduced a lot. OVER 50%!!! He is 12 weeks, all shots and really, really, REALLY stinkin cute!

Now the down side. I have been working out after work (time to get in pre-college weight) and am gone 12 hours. Now I could go in the morning and be home earlier in evening, around 5:30. So not that bad. But is it fair to a dog to be in the house for that amount of time. Now my room mate is home and she could let him out every now and then. But still. I know lots of people who work full time have dogs....any advice?

I am going to go see him again tonight, and hopefully, the answer will be clear... I think it is but I have puppy love. I don't need a dog. I want one though. But I don't think I have the time to devote to one, do I????

Opinions are welcome!
