I am so glad that I was able to save Meatballs life, but the barking all day and all night of 3 dogs is really really going to make me lose my marbles! Guapo, my 2 lb Chihuahua does not like him....AT ALL! Tequilla, my 6 lb Chihuahua, doesn't really care, but if Guapo is gonna bark she is going to back him up. And Meatball thinks they are trying to play. So my choices right now are....stand in the kitchen and tell him to stay off the counters all day..not as much barking. Be any where else in the house and listen to non-stop barking of 3 dogs. OR put them all in separate rooms and feel like an ass because I did it!

I can really really feel the crankiness come on. I'm so tired from working 6 days a week. 1 more week of this and then I'm done for a few weeks and back to the normal 6 days a week every 3rd week. The over time is nice, but the exhaustion is shitty. I'm trying so hard not to be cranky, but I get a little pissy when I'm working 48 hours a week or 52 next week and I still have to clean the house!! WTF?!?! I'm tired, I'm cranky and I don't want to spend my ONE day off cleaning. Uh oh...the crankiness is slipping out. But really, WHY? Why do I have to clean when I've worked 6 days a week? Why can't I sit and be lazy (like I am right now as I am typing this) on my day off? Well I'm off to finish up laundry and scrub me some floors! Woohoo!

Thank You Very Much from the Daily Dribble, couldn't have come at a better time! So here goes:

-To the wonderful lady who thought she was going to cut me off and when I didn't let her, flipped me off and cussed me out...thank-you very much!

-To the wonderful employee who is late almost every single day...thank-you very much!

-To the bad people who dumped off Meatball at the pound and he almost died...thank-you very much! (No really THANK YOU...now he will be in a better home where he is loved)

-To the man who was kind enough to tell me how bad my smoking is...thank-you very much! (It is not MY smoke that is gonna kill you since I don't smoke near you, I've only seen you once in my life and I wasn't smoking at the time, just buying them.)

I'm sure I could go on and on and on w/ my thank-you's but I will stop there. This felt good!!

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.
