Must Clean House...

But here I am writing a post because I am nervous. I filled out our application for the puppy from Boxer Rescue, within a couple of hours, they called to do a phone interview, then this afternoon is our "Home Inspection" . There fore I should be cleaning, and picking up the house. Instead I am here talking to you good people about my nerves and the fact that I really hope to get this little girl.

I think some it is my whole biological clock thing, and wishing secretly for a daughter..At least with this one I won't have to worry about her hair in the mornings, or argue over clothes and boys.  I can dress her in pink doggie sweaters, and a harness. We can talk girl talk while she watches me cook dinner.
She could be a total terror...but yet, I know I all ready love her. I feel like she was meant for us, and our perfect little girl.
We certainly won't get her today, I said before it is a process. I think there is still one more meeting where we take Ruger to her foster home and etc. But so far things are progressing. The Rescue folks are wanting her placed permanently, and the rescue folks are working to help make that happen for us.

I think even Senior is excited too. He went off to run some errands and pay a visit to Stephen. No doubt they will be talking about the upcoming slumber party they are having this weekend. I think there is rain in the forecast..they all better pack some rain gear....

Okay, I need to go now, must dust, vacuum, pick up small little toys thrown around the floor, tidy up, hang laundry out to dry, and get Ruger looking all handsome and spiffy... 

Wish us Luck !

Sunday, Sunday

It turned cold here...really cold. So cold that when Senior ran the sprinklers over night ice formed on every thing. This cold spell is suppose to last for the next couple of days. Fortunately tomorrow is a holiday and we can sleep in. YAY!

I did my drawing on Friday, and I have only heard from one winner. If I don't hear from the other 2, by Tuesday I will do a Re-Draw.

I emailed Mosins new owner and he sent pictures. The big boy is doing really well in his new home.
I am still on my search for a new little female boxer-but every thing I see is either mixed with a pitbull or they want an exuberant amount for the purebred puppy.

It does make me sad looking over some of these ads, you want to be able to bring them all home. but you can't. And I am learning at just how bad pitbulls are over bred in this country.. I don't want one. When I worked at the army vet. facility, I was lunged at by a male pitbull, then when I was 7mos. pregnant with ND I was bit by one in the leg..  All though I do understand that as far as the AKC is concerned there actually is no such thing as a pitbull..Its a name given to a mix of the AmStaff and Bull Terriors...

We are now after 16 years having to shop for a new washing machine. It is making me sad that my old reliable Kenmore has finally bit the bullet. I use to have 2 things I hated to shop for : Swimsuits and Cars..now add appliances to that list. Everything is just so expensive, and I worry about the quality of things made these days. Currently we are looking at a Samsung, it has a 5 star rating, and a 10 year warranty on the motor etc..  Plus the price is in our range. I like it because while its a top loader, it does not have an agitator in the middle. 

ND is calling for breakfast, I told him I would make an omelet, but he cringed his little nose.. oh well. I am not a restaurant.
Enjoy your Sunday, I will enjoy appliance shopping... ( sarcasm)
