Good News and Bad News on the horizon in Ohio...

Well my mom has a big soft heart and couldn't stand losing our dog, ChyChy, so she went and picked her up and now she is staying in the basement. The guilt of getting rid of her was eating me alive. I have come to think of her as one of the family. So I am very happy she is back! We will just have to be diligent in our watching to make sure she is not let around the other dogs.
She seems content enough, so I am glad that she is back in our lives. Not to worry, she has a fully furnished basement! She has her own futon to sleep on with blankets and pillows! She has her toys down there, and we all take turns going down there and being with her! The basement has it's own entrance, so we can let her out in the backyard to play and I do my studying for classes down there, so she's not lonely.


Furthermore from the home front, my step-father has lost his job at AK and now I am the only one making any money in the family household of four. So my job said I can work some more over-time, imagine that, I was already working over-time, so now I will be working more. I am also going back to college full-time and working over-time is going to be killer. I had to make a sacrifice and cancel my advance scuba class, much to my dismay, but I need the money more than I need to take the class right now. In the end it will save me gas money, book money, and class money. So that will be put towards the electric bill! Yay! I hope in the end that I can sign up for the class at a later date and conquer my fear.

Well I am off here, gotta be at work at 2am tomorrow. Yay...

Since I showed ChyChy, here are my other two dogs. China is the brindle colored one in the toy graveyard on Christmas and Brandi is the fawn colored one that looks sleepy in the pic, also she has her baby, which she still has.

Hey Jen that's great news on the dog. Sad about your step-dad's job loss. I lost my job just a couple of months ago so I understand that situation all too well. Hey you'll get there with things. I'll catch up with you on facebook. Email me at anytime as well.

Take care big hug
