So, I tried to get a dog this past weekend. A friend of mine sent out an email that a friend of hers was fostering a dog that needed a home. When I saw the picture of the shepherd/husky mix, I knew I wanted that dog! I emailed back and forth with the foster mom and had the application all filled out and was rounding up some references. I asked my friend that sent me the original email if she would be a reference and she told me that the dog was undisciplined. I had been given the impression that the dog was well-behaved and just needed some leash training. With Marcus and I both working, I need a well-trained dog and can't have one at home eating and chewing everything in site. I emailed her back with my reasoning for withdrawing my offer to take him. I was crushed.

I still want a dog, dang it.

Wow, I got a lot accomplished this weekend. I'll post more about that later as I'm working today to get the extra money I need to go to Vegas. A paid holiday plus time and a half for working...can't beat that! Also, it gives Marcus some alone time at home which the poor guy doesn't get enough of. Have a happy and safe Labor Day, everybody!

Hey, I remembered to Rabbit, Rabbit this month, and since it is my birth month, it's supposed to be extra lucky.
