Rescuing Charmin

Yes, we are crazy. Last weekend I suggested we go the the Super Animal Rescue at the livestock events center. Yes, I knew my family would find another animal they just couldn't live without. "Hey honey, its a free event where the kids can look at animals. There will be face painting and music. A fun day out." What was I thinking?

Well we did, actually Susanne did if you can believe it. The woman who used to be terrified of dogs.

We talked about it for a week while we waited for our meet and greet to bring Koko to see if they got along (of course as I type this, they are fighting over chew toys). We actually discussed the pros and cons and didn't rush into it this time. I think we all knew that we just enjoy dogs very much, and the idea of rescuing an animal from a high kill shelter added to the fuzzy feel good sensation.

So, we brought her home after the meet and greet, bathed her and bought all the additional accessories required (new leash, kennel, etc).

She is a 5 month old shepard mix, and other than a few scuffles with Koko (to be expected I spose) they are getting along very well and she is melding into the family quite nicely.

I'm sure the rest of my family will freak. 41 years old and still know that my family sometimes thinks I don't think things through. sigh.

Dean Heller's Constituant Phone Call

Tonight, the kids were in the bathtub, and I was sitting on the floor with the laptop as I usually do when they are splashing each other and screaming. when the phone rang. I picked it up to see a Maryland number, so I didn't answer it. If its important, they'll call back.

The answering machine picks it up and its an automated system for Dean Heller about connecting with his constituents or a town hall or something alltogether meaningful as my children throw water at each other as they both scream "she did this...", "he did that...", "waaaa". Yup. Town Hall meetings are my top priority.

Anyway, later that night it occurred to me that a man who claims to be representing the needs of Nevadans couldn't find a Nevada based business to make his phone calls? I can already hear some saying "you don't know the whole story". Do I even need to, really.

Genetic Relation?

As difficult as it is to tell. The fact is, we are related.

Seriously.

Could my family be any cuter? Really.

What the?

My first reaction to this photo in Picasa was "What the hell, did I think it was funny to shove my son in the dryer?". Then after opening it full size, I realized that its the intake to the heater/ac system in the ceiling. Apparently we did think it was funny to pretend that Braedyn was getting sucked in... He is smiling after all.
