Counting Down the Days

Well, in about 3 weeks my husband will be temporarily moving back to Dallas for the month of July and part of August for a second law internship. It is a wonderful opportunity but I am a little worried about me. I won't have my hubby here to talk with, to joke with and to help me relax. I know it is a test for both of us and I know we will pass with flying colors but I still don't like the idea. I tried to convince my husband to let me get a pug to help keep me occupied but to no avail. I am not pinning the decision on him for I totally understand where he is coming from about why not to get a dog. I guess this will give me the perfect opportunity to get our apartment the way I want it - nice, clean and organized.

Also I figure you will see me posting on here more often too. It is funny how your life can be going one way and then all of a sudden something changes and you don't know how you got along the way before. Life is a lesson, huh? Currently my sister and brother are finishing up their trip to Spain - they will be coming back to Dallas Wednesday night - I can't wait to hear everything about their trip. I loved my European trips - I was lucky enough to visit England, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece and Turkey all before I graduated high school. I was very fortunate and I know that I will be even more so in my life if I can just learn to be patient. Tough lesson huh? I sure say so.

Second posting - still trying to figure out what is an interesting read and what isn't. I have found that I like a lot of the dog shows on Animal Planet. Both yesterday and today I have watched a show called "Breed All About It" in which they go into details each breed and speak to breeders and owners. Today's show was about the Japanese Chin; one of my co-workers has a Chin named Bitsi. I was astounded to see a breeder and her husband who own 31 Japanese Chin at the current time. You read that right, 31 dogs! It takes the husband 45 mins to get their dinner ready every night - that is love and dedication right there. Currently I am still wishing for my own pug. At this point I would like a fawn male in which we could name Maverick in honor of our favorite basketball team, the Dallas Mavericks and in honor of our pug puppy we had to give up.

I guess that is why God gives you sacrifices to see how you handle the test. To be honest, I don't understand them and I don't like them but sometimes there is nothing you can do but go along with it. Last night I was watching Animal Precinct: New York on TV and it just sickened me to people who were able to have a dog but who really didn't care enough about them to take proper care of them. I know it sometimes upsets my husband to have me talk about pugs so much but I guess you could say I am "obsessed" with them. I am hoping that I won't have to dream too much longer about my little pug - I have so many things I have planned for us!
