Doggie Update

My life has been fun lately with the two dogs. I love it. If Brandy would just stop barking, life would be absolutely fabulous. Her and aggie aren't playing together yet, but they'll share their beds and sniff each other, no fights at all. Brandy is learning the rules very quickly; she is one smart dog. She loves to play so much it's just crazy, hard to believe she's nine years old. She makes up games to play if I don't have time to play with her. She will hide her ball from herself and then "try" to find it. It's hilarious.

Today was doggie haircut day. Aggie was so fluffy she looked twice as big as she really is. Brandy had chaps. Here are comparison pics:



Brandy looks SOOOOO much cuter without the long ear hair and chaps!!

I've also uploaded more pics of them at flickr.

Watch out Fresno....

Here we come!!!


Alex and I got our tickets!! We will be in Fresno the 8th through the 12th. I can't wait to eat all of the delicious food. My sister told me they opened a new taco stand right by her apartment, and it's open 24 hours.

We're going because TC is getting married. Woo-hoo. Funny thing about TC. Her initials are not TC at all. They are actually TAL. One day though, probably 5 years after I had known her, she decided she wanted a nickname. For awhile we called her Tree, but that was boring, so somehow we made it TC, and she's been TC ever since. Of course I think I may be the only one that still calls her that.

Yay, I'm going to Fresno! It's funny how I can get so excited about a place that sucks so bad. What can I say though; you can take the girl out of fresno but you can't take the fresno out of the girl.

More later on the details of what and when we'll eat. Also, I think a trip to Yosemite and Forestiere Underground Gardens are in store this time around.

New Dog For Me!!

So, today I got a new dog. She's new to me anyway. Brandy is a nine-year-old apricot poodle. She is overweight and has a really bad haircut. Poor thing, the groomer cut all these little mole-like things on ther back so she has scabs all over :(


It's really crazy adopting a dog. I got home tonight with Brandy and realized I know nothing about this dog. She is following me around everywhere! When we went on a walk I came to the conclusion that she hadn't been walked very often, if at all. She started barking and kind of growling at anyone that walked by. She seems to respond well to to being reprimanded. She listens and obeys but it just makes me so nervous because I don't know if she's going to snap at anyone or what. When she barks she sounds like an old lady with a raspy smokers cough.

Now, however, after taking her on a walk, making her walk up and down two flights of stairs twice, she's passed out. It was probably the most exercise she has had in a long time. I think she'll be a sweet dog. She's an old lady though...

I'm not sure about aggie, she's quite jealous. She keeps giving me the cold shoulder and sitting in the other room with her back towards me :(

call me a dork

So, yeah you can make fun of me if you want, but I just finished watching Princess Diaries and I am pretty darn sure that I was meant to be a princess. I could totally pull that job off; and living in a castle, hello, that is so me. So, does everyone wish they could be a prince or princess? I mean, would anyone turn down living in a castle and being waited on hand and foot. Not that I'm fool enough to believe it's not hard, there's not a lot of work involved, no privacy, whatever, but it can't be all that bad. I think the only part that would be hard is finding your spouse and making sure they are acceptable. You might feel pressured to marry someone you don't actually love or something. Still, I am pretty sure I should be a princess. I should live in a castle.
