Let's catch up for lost time, shall we?

First off, this blog is pretty lame. Second, I don't care. Third, um.. well, I got a new puppy.

Actually, my parents were driving down this street and saw this adorable pup dodging cars and people. He saw my Dad and sat and waited for him. Hello?? How do you turn him away? Just look at him-



Well, it turns out that he has bonded with me. He follows me everywhere and I love it! He has so much energy, so we go on walks everyday and I hope that one day he will run with me. He is really sweet, but kind of annoying. He IS a puppy. Anyway, if you are keeping track, I now have three dogs and two cats. :) I can't wait to take him to the dog parks! He will have so much fun!

If you want to date me, you really have to love animals! I do not plan on getting anymore dogs or cats. I do want another guinea pig, but I am holding off on that.....for now.

Anyway, Charlie is the new pups name. I now have A, B and C. My parents do have a point that once I move, I can't take Bella. No apartment will allow a Rottweiler (SO STUPID), but many will take a large dog. I am thinking that Charlie was just a large puppy. When we found him, he still had puppy teeth and he weighed about 45lbs. It is about a month later and he is around 50. I don't think he will get any larger than 60. Which is fine with me! I have my large dog, 95lbs and my small dog, 11.5lbs and now my medium dog.

I feel so blessed to have these wonderful creatures in my life. They all love me and guard me to the best of their abilities. When I go to the bathroom, Austin is in with me, while Bella and Charlie are standing guard outside the door. It's silly, but I love them for it. If I am alone in the car and not paying attention to the world around me, they never hesitate to let me know "danger" could be approaching. Bella will stand over me and guard me with her life. She has done that since day one. I really lucked out with her. She was free, too. Best.dog.ever.

Anyway, Charlie has really helped me to be more active. If I don't walk him, he goes crazy! He needs that workout. I always wanted a black lab and now I have one for free. Well, a shepherd/lab mix. I am also happy to report that I am down 4lbs. :)



Also, I keep seeing Rhaja. I feel like it's her way of telling me that she still looks after me. I woke up in the middle of the night a few months ago and I could SWEAR she was on my desk sitting there just staring at me like she used to. I woke up real fast and said, "RHAJA?", then I turned on the light and gone. I sat there and cried.
Then two days ago, I went to my dark bedroom and saw her on my bed, turned on my light and it was a pair of pants. I know, I know....I am weird. I don't care. Bella and Rhaja are/were very special to me. Rhaja because she got me through the hardest times of my life. She got me through high school, she got me through a bad break-up with a jerk of a boyfriend, she got me through the break of my high school sweetheart and first love, my move out of the house, my move to florida, my move back, my separation and well, she was just there for me. She was the best cat I could have ever had. She sat and cuddled with me when I would cry and cry. Her love never stopped.

I always refer to Bella as my Angel. She is my strong, dependable, devoted dog. She guards me, cuddles with me and even when I was gone for three years, her devotion to me never changed. She knows I am her master and would do anything for me. She was my strength when my marriage was failing. She never left my side. I am just upset that I lost three years with her.

Well, hindsight is 20/20 and since I don't have a time machine, I can't change anything.
