one of my loves. by orange

even though you get bored and find shoes to chew,
you eat thru my laptop cord which later shocked me,
you find dryer sheets to shred into a million pieces under the bed,
and have hissy-fits/mental break downs when there are other dogs nearby that you can't play with...

you are still one my loves.

dear schnood:

please try just a bit harder to not eat/chew mom and dad's shoes, magazines, goggles and backpacks. we like these things. we also want you to have friends, so please try not to bark at every other living thing on walks (we think you scare them even though we know you just want to play).

weekend hibernation. by orange

sleeping. work. reading




















it's really these three things that kept me alive this weekend:



thank you husband, payton and meika.

Payton Home!! safe & sound. by orange

Payton is home and safe.  We received a call around midnight last night that a lady in Federal Way called into Komo4 news (our local news channel) and might have our dog.  1/2 hour later we had Payton in our arms.  We feel so grateful and lucky.

The lady and her friend were on their way to church Sunday morning and stopped for gas.  While there they saw our little guy running around on a 4 lane street.  They stopped traffic and scooped him up.  Then saw the news story that night on TV and got in touch with us.

We've learned that while some people can do unthinkable things like steal a dog, there are still wonderful people out there that do simple acts of kindness like picking up our dog.  Here's to all those amazing people - cheers!!!
