the "i want a dog, but i can't have one so i am living vicariously through my family" post
easter weekend, we went to visit our families and their pets. the husband's mom recently got a new dog. jon was anxious about meeting him (it's not the same to go home and have a new dog there after your childhood dog has died . . . ) but it turned out that he is fabulous and we both fell in love. his name is timber and he is perfect:
the cat, named useless, is still around:
he is skin and bones, but loves to be loved and keeps on truckin'. plus, his name cracks me up!
we stopped at my parent's house on the way back to pdx from eugene. they have adopted a cat whose meows sound more like quacks, so, appropriately, they've dubbed her duckie. she is officially one of the coolest cats of ever (with the most amazing green eyes).
my childhood dog, shanie, is still alive. she is about 15 years old in people years and doesn't move, hear or see as well as she did. but she still loves just as well as she did and i think i love her more every time i see her.
here she is (with all of her grey hair) next to my mother:
i want a puppy!!!
in other news: i still haven't sent in my application to take the massage boards. why not? i dunno. i am the procrastination queen i suppose. will you keep nagging me until i send it in? i need some motivation. and i need to start making money.
went hiking and to the beach this weekend and the weather was glorious! will post pictures of those events in a few weeks (knowing me . . . ).
peace.
