Welcome Bosley!

Yesterday we finally went to the pound and found our dog. We have been talking about getting a dog for over a year now. We've looked a few times, but never found the right dog. Yesterday we did! He is a 4 year old beagle, neutered, very sweet, already trained, great on a leash and in the car. We named him Bosley. He actually picked us. We were looking at a few other dogs and Bosley started whimpering at us. He had been quiet all day, but when he saw us he started whining and barking. Once we got him out he wanted to play with Noah and got real buddy-buddy with us right away. When Josh left to the ATM we were walking around the store (the pound had adoptions taking place at a pet store). He saw Josh walk back in and got all excited.

We're planning on taking him with us to Ohio. He seems to be a great traveler and he is part of our family now so why not! He's very patient. Noah pulls on him and tries to ride him and he never shows any signs of aggression. He already is protective over us and stands guard in the backyard. He's good with other dogs and people (don't know about cats yet, but we can't get cats anyway). He never bites. He is very cautious about Tristan if he's crawling around. He's going to be a great family dog! We saved 2 lives yesterday :) What a great way to spend some stimulus money!

YAY congrats on the new member of your family. He looks like and sounds like he's going to be a great dog. There's something about rescues...they seem to know how lucky they are to find a home.

Congrats! Bosley is adorable!! Beagles are really great family dogs. I bet the boys are going to loooove having a dog of their own. Our girls both love Logan to pieces. Ember was just pulling up Logans lip yesterday & inspecting his teeth, it was pretty funny :) Logan was the same way at the pound. He really stood out to us. All the dogs were barking & he was just sitting there staring at us with these huge sad eyes. Mark & I knew we wanted him right away. We had actually gone in there looking for a female Boston terrier,haha.....we came out with a male shaggy Cairn terrier mix! He is the perfect fit for our family though & I bet Bosley will be for your guys too!

I love your picture wall in the background. Very cool!

Aww I love the last picture of Bosley and Tristain. He looks like a puppy there. Bosley is so cute. I love dogs! It's so rewarding to rescue a dog from somewhere especially the pound. We rescued Jersey from the SPCA. We love her so much :)

Very bad day today

Image
I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...
