Look what Meatball can do! He is constantly standing on the counter drinking out of the faucet that we have left running because it is so cold outside and we don't want our pipes to freeze. Good news today!! They believe they have found a perfect match and forever home for Meatball!!! I'm so happy and excited for him. He is such a sweet dog and he is going to make someone really really happy.

Please if you have room to foster, or you want a big dog, please consider adoption. Check out Big Fluffy Dogs to see if they have a group near you! We will all thank you for it, and the love and appreciation you will get from the dog is beyond compare.

Meatball will be back home w/ us soon. I can't wait for him to be home and comfy. This has had to be a very stressful time for him. 1st to come so close to death, then to be thrown into the arms of strangers (loving strangers, but I'm sure still scary) and then taken the next day to the vets to be neutered, and given shots, and now he'll get to come home today and get settled. I hope we are able to find him a good home, that he can stay in forever, and be loved.

Meatball....

I was not around yesterday and that adorable puppy above is the reason why. This is Meatball, he is a Saint Bernard / Great Pyrenees mix. Meatball is 5 to 6 months old and weighs 60 lbs. Last night he was in a kill shelter and had only 1 1/2 hours to live if he didn't find a home. My husband and I decided that we would foster him until he finds his forever home. Someone who can love him and give him the care he needs. How someone could put this sweet face to death is beyond me. He is such a great dog! He hopped right in my car and laid down for the ride to his new home. When I got him home, we gave him a bath right away and removed his death tag, broke my heart seeing that around his neck. He is a giant of a dog, and he thinks he can sit on my lap, but he doesn't fit. It's really funny when my 2 lb Chihuahua barks at him and he runs and hides behind me. Today he went to the vets and got fixed along got updated on all his shots. We will get him back tomorrow morning and start working on getting him trained. He needs to be housebroken and learn some basic commands as well as not to jump. So if I go absent for a few days, it's because my hands are full right now trying to care for this baby until we find him a suitable home.

I have the itches....

Well it's that time of year! The dry skin has set in and I'm going insane. My skin gets to the so dry you scratch it till you bleed dry. I don't know how to fix this. I'm gonna lose it! Yes, I do one of the biggest no no's and that is I take extremely hot baths and showers, but I have to to feel clean. I put lotion on as soon as I get out of the shower/tub and still I end up itching like crazy. I have tried tons of different lotions, from really cheap to really expensive. I have tried oatmeal baths, and several other home remedies. So please if you have any ideas share them. I will try anything just to not have dry skin and itch like this anymore.

^ That is me, sitting here all day waiting for my sister to have my niece! They induced her at 7:00am this morning and here it is 8:12 and still Olivia Rose has not decided it is time to enter this world. This is going to be one stubborn little girl, who is going to always do things her own way. I have been patient all day and now, it is almost time for me to go to bed and still no new niece. Come on Olivia Rose just get here already!!!

Today at work we were talking about debating, one of my favorite things to do. However, there are topics that are untouchable w/ me and I just can't debate because I feel so passionately about my view and it's best that I don't talk about those. So my topics are abortion, animal cruelty/rights, religion, and child support. So without stating opinions, what are the topics you are very passionate about and nobody dare debate w/ you on?
