Just an Update!

If it seems too good to be true then it probably is! That is the phrase that comes to mind when I look back at the post about our boxer finding a home 3 doors down! She is back………………………They said she was digging out of the yard and whining so they brought her back home. UGH! I love this dog, but I know she needs to go. She needs to be an only dog, an inside dog. We can’t offer her that. It makes me really sad. She has attacked our other dog twice since she has been home. So, now she is outside……..alone. Which is worse? Keeping her isolated in the heat or taking her to the pound? I am quite certain if they see she can’t be trusted around other dogs they will euthanize her. When she is the only dog she is sweet and loyal *sigh*! I don’t know what to do. I don’t expect anyone to feel sorry because I know we bring it on to ourselves. We love animals. I just really don’t know what to do. It was very peaceful and calm when she found a home. I know there is someone out there that she will make a great dog for. I just don’t know if I can wait that long.
On to other, less depressing stuff. Kinda. I have been going through my “I am not sure” phase of the adoption again. I am sure once I start seeing the kids I will feel differently, but right now, that’s where I’m at. It may just be because of the other stresses going on right now, but I still feel like it’s the right thing to do.
Everyone who knows me knows I love to work in the yard, but this heat is KILLLING me. If you keep up with my posts you know what happened to me a few weeks ago after being in the heat. Well, yes, I did it again. I KNOW better. But I pushed myself too hard again and was SUPER sick Saturday. I have never been that sick, except the time I did it before. Poor Mark came home from work after me begging him to come home early. He had a meeting and couldn’t, but when he finally got home he rubbed my head for a good hour. It was the only thing offering any relief at all! That and my sweet, life-saving friend brought my some Excedrin. The kids tried to rub my head, but their little fingers just aren’t the same. They are sweet for taking care of me though. By that time, I finally got over the throwing up! Man, what he does for me! After being tired from work, coming home and tending to my stupidity! No one else would put up with me! After Saturday I never wanted to do yard work again! I was THAT sick. I think I am finally going to start sharing the load. I am sure some of you think I am sick just for WANTING to do yard work.
The summer seems to be flying by. My oldest kids will be leaving to go to church camp next. I don’t worry quite as much about them. Different personalities I guess.
Also, just FYI. I post all my pics and stuff on Facebook now instead of myspace. I finally got used to it and like it much better!
Until next time………………………………………………………………
