Someone dropped this box full of puppies off at the clinic today. I was the first person there this morning and I found them outside the door. There are eight total. They look like lab mixes, and they're pretty young, probably not two months old yet. I didn't bring them home with me, but we don't have room to foster them at the clinic either. I ( Read more... )

This week's been pretty good so far. It's alternated between sunny and rainy lately, and even though I don't particularly care for running in the rain, the dogs still love it. I have to dry them off before letting them back in the house, though. They're like big walking sponges. Knowing them, they'd come in and shake off right next to where all the ( Read more... )

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. Whether you're single or in a relationship, make sure that you let the people you love know you care ( Read more... )

And by that, I mean Singles Awareness Day. Or Valentine's Day, if you rather. I think I will send myself a card telling me how great I am. And maybe some chocolate, too ( Read more... )

The dogs are going crazy because it's snowed recently. They were bred for this kind of weather and so they want to spend pretty much every waking moment out in the snow. It reminds me of when I was young, and Kiba and I would build snow caves and play outside for hours and hours. We'd always be warm because about six dogs would pile in there with ( Read more... )

I hope that everyone has had a nice holiday season. Fortunately for me, my flu cleared up enough for me to go to the Christmas party at Shuuhei's work without looking contagious or grody. All his coworkers were terribly friendly, and they made me feel right at home. Don't ask Shuuhei about the mistletoe they had tacked up in the front door.A few ( Read more... )

Man, there go my Christmas plans. I've been working overtime like a crazy woman to try and make sure that I had enough spare hours to go home for Christmas, and now I've come down with a nasty flu. I've basically quarantined myself in my room so nobody else gets it ( Read more... )

The dental cleaning appointment wasn't too bad. But I did go buy a bag of tootsie-pops afterwards to make myself feel better.

Orihime, I stopped by the book store today and I saw this book that made me think of you. I bought you a copy, since I figured you might find it useful in preparing for the inevitable zombie siege ( Read more... )

The dogs are starting to get restless. Huskies have an insane amount of energy (think three-year-old child on pixi-stix), and when I can't run them for a few miles every day they start to get hyper. I've managed to keep them pretty quiet, but they've only been outside for a few minutes at a time since the rain started ( Read more... )

The date auction thing wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Mostly because I had a contingency plan (which has been dubbed "Groundhog Day Bachelor Auction Plan A") and Shuuhei saved me. The guy who was bidding on me probably wasn't as scary as the ones some of the other auctionees were purchased by, but he looked way too much like my ex- ( Read more... )
