Haha! More soda is on the list but I already have some fantastic leather fingerless gloves with lace and studs... They work on several levels.
![]() TJ, Hope your girls surprise you today and behave! That sounds like a headache in waiting. Last edited by AbielleRose; 01-07-2012 at 06:57 PM. |

Hey all.
Stopping by for a minute. Many of you know I've been having some concerns about my dog. Turns out he has cancer, likely the most malignant kind based on age, location, and breed, and we could lose him very soon. He's going in for surgery today and we'll find out how much longer he has probably in the next few days. The outlook doesn't look good though. I'm trying to have some hope, but I have to be realistic. So if I am flighty or suddenly post a lot or disappear, you'll know why. Anyone who knows me well knows I adore animals so this is very hard for me. Any good vibes, prayers, or good thoughts would be appreciated. The odds are against him, and it would be a miracle for him to get better.

Oh, KL.
*huggles* Miracles happen all the time. He's a lucky dog to have such good, caring owners. When you think about all the dogs in the world in shelters or abusive situations, it seems like only a select few get homes like yours where their owners are as loving and wonderful as you. I hope he gets better. xx |

Last time I went to walmart the manager was badmouthing a customer (to another employee), the returns register lady just wished I'd go away, and some lady cut in line then took forever to get rang up and didn't care she'd cut in front of me.
And the moral of the story is the manager's behavior was a lot less shocking in retrospect. Yay.

I didn't see this post before. Cancer sucks and it's a shame so many dogs get it. I highly recommend posting a lot. Plus we wanna know how you and your doggie are managing.

Popping in to say hi to the cinnamon sugar horse and other hooved and hooveless posters. My good thoughts and wishes go out to KL and their dog, a speedy recovery!

Good Morning Friends!
Happy thoughts for your dog KL. ![]() Aaaaand, I've got nothing else to say. Time to kick Mr. Kricket out of bed to watch the kiddo so I can take a mid-morning nap.

And on a more funny note, I found this mistake in A Storm of Swords:

There's a joke here about caulk, but I'm just way too tired to find it.

A friend just posted this pic on Facebook of the street she lives on here in Fargo. I'm a bit blown away by it and wanted to share.
![]() Its so crazy here, it actually feels like spring. Right now I have all my windows open and am wearing a tank top! This winter is my favorite winter ever. ![]() 2012 is definitely a great year so far.

Good day, Cantinarios. My day started with a gift.
I CAN HAZ SQUARSHY RED BLANKET!! I don't want to rouse up any feelings of jealousy, as there isn't enough blanket to share with everyone, but let's just say, it was a gift that is going to get lots of use and guard me against the coming cold. It haz me filled with appreciations. The cold has stepped away... but it's going to come back. We've had hardly any rain so far... and I can feel it coming... lurking out there over the Pacific Ocean... just waiting for us to put down our guard. And with the rain comes the cold... Quote:

I am so mentally exhausted. And there are so many things to be done...
