Alien dog

Here is a picture of the kids with Mushroom (from 9-10-09). They look so happy and they especially like her alien eyes!! We're sorry Mushroom that we couldn't keep you!!!

Still Here

Took some blogging time off...our rescue dog Mushroom didn't work out due to family issues and it was really hard for me to deal with. I tried to find someone to take her but that didn't work out. The longer I had her at home the more stressed out I became so I finally brought her back to the shelter. :( I filled out at much info as I could so hopefully the right people will give her a good home. Tyler was bit sad and Josh was more upset the first couple of days which made me upset. Mushroom was a very sweet dog but a bit needy for me or maybe I'm not cut out to be a dog owner. Bummer.

I'm working on some Waffle Rib socks for Hector's coworker and they're looking nice. I already finished the legs and working on the heels now. I'm liking the pattern more and more since it's easily memorized and I can tell where I left off. No detailed notes and charts for this pair.

I'm keeping busy while the kids are in school and no volunteering yet. I work out on the Wii Fit and walk a couple of miles on the treadmill. I also discovered that I can walk and knit at the same time! Woo hoo!!

We rescued her from the shelter. actually she never made it into the shelter because we took her the man dropping her off. His aunt couldn't take care of her anymore and "Princess" seemed like an ideal dog for us.

The kids have now named her Mushroom after rejecting Goomba. There is a Nintendo theme here. She is playful but not hyper and seems to like everyone she meets and vice versa.
