Back on October 18, or first foster dog came into our little pack. He went to his forever home on December 18, and on December 20, this guy came to us from Kentucky. And seriously? He’s amazing. Such an incredibly sweet and well-tempered dog, with a fun personality.
He’s a Super Pooch, just like Cinder; you can see different breeds in him in certain lights. His coloring and markings are like that of a Rotweiler, Australian Cattle Dog and Doberman; he collects things and brings things to us like a Retriever; he chews toys, rawhides and bones like a Labrador. He’s very affectionate, has the excitement that a one-year-old puppy should have, but also this really mellow and chill way about him. Also, he’s a little clumsy, especially on the stairs and getting into and out of the car, which is ridiculously adorable. He not only looks like Cinder, but he also shares some of her mannerisms, which is also incredibly endearing.
He’s been with us for one week and already a family has applied for him, natch. Of course, the fact that he fits so well into our house, our routine, our lives, means he’s going to be very hard to give up, but there are so many more poochers waiting to be rescued…
And we couldn’t keep him and continue to foster… right? Right…?
[12/30 UPDATE: the application was pulled -- he's looking for a family :) ]
I’ve been hibernating. So has the lavender:
Quick! Don’t just stand there — SAVE HIM! He woke up right after I took this.
I have goosebumps from thrill, excitement and joy. I cannot wait for some semblance of balance to be restored. My friend Jill and I took our collective kids to see Obama speak in October and one point he made has stuck with me. almost daily, ever since:
“We [members of Congress] shouldn’t have better health care than you; you’re paying our salaries!”
A-fucking-men. How about a little bit of justice over here, Mr. Man?
So now, we’ll be waiting right over here for the election promises to come to fruition. Congratulations, Obama — you’ve got some work ahead of you! :)
Mr. Avery Cain once again accompanied me to the voting booth and helped me cast my vote. He’s never been so excited to be a part of the process, and I was happy to wait for him to come home from school so he could join me at the polling station.
When you are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris: Definitely not the laugh-out-loud Sedaris that I’m used to, but still a great read. Very retrospective, a bit melancholy, a grownup voice.
Will I ever get enough of this guy? I DON’T THINK SO.
What a fabulous Halloween! Happy November >^..^<
And now… the Phillies are World Series winners…
COULD THIS NIGHT GET ANY BETTER?!

A presidential nominee just made me… cry? Odd.
I just love that Obama and his team took the time to produce a clear, concise, informative piece about what he will do as president, instead of pushing out desperate, sleazy and false 30-second attack pieces against his opponent. It’s precisely why I love the Obama ticket — they are so above the bullshit. They’re authentic, steady, intent and factual. Six days before election, I find it thrilling that our future president is focused on, oh… THE JOB OF BEING PRESIDENT.
Tonight’s thoughtful and inspiring 30-minute commercial only further underlines McCain as an unhinged, loose-tempered brat. Thank you Obama, for investing in the assurance that voters will hear and understand your policies and goals, rather than wasting your time and resources playing McCain’s tired games.
Six! More! Days!
