TGIF!!

I have had quite a week - dealing with being burglarized, safeguarding my home as much as we can, using a loaner computer for a few hours, getting my stuff back, dealing with all sorts of work challenges, projects, issues and it's FRIDAY!! Still have more work to do, but it's okay. I left work a little early today, got a breather - much needed!

Today one of my friends at work commented that even though so many things happened to me this week, I am pretty calm. I try really hard to take things in stride, have a positive outlook and keep it real. Sometimes I do freak out, I get a little high strung, and I think I'm kind of bitchy from time to time. But my friend said that if this is how I freak out, then I'm really calm and fine. :) Glad to hear that I'm not as bad as I think I can be.

We are getting a dog this weekend, or at least I hope so. I have a line on 2 Jack Russell Terriers for him and I'm trying to pick up a chihuahua for myself. We'll rescue both of them. I want to get them from someone that loves them but for whatever reason can't keep them. I've been there with Thor and I understand the guilt - fortunately, I found someone to take him. But I really miss him still. And I think that if he was here he would have torn up the people that broke in - he sure would have scare the shit out of them.

Not that the new dog will scare the shit of someone like Thor - Thor was nice and big, 135 lbs BIG!! German Shepherd / Rottweiler mix - looked more shepherd. But he was the sweetest dog with a great personality. I loved him so much. I hope he's still ok.

Well, I'll post pics if we get a new little guy or girl.

Watched an epidsode of the Dog Whisperer. He's pretty cool. I happened to see an episode about a Maltese that was dominating her owner. I learned pretty much in a few minutes. Sweet! I'll keep watching and learning what I can. I want to have a happy, healthy relationship with a dog in our house.
