Puppy Fever

Note: this is the first time I'm using post by email, and I'm doing this on my phone so 2 things: 1) I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, and 2) if there are typos, I apologize.

Ok now that the disclaimer is out of the way, on with the post.

I've got puppy fever. Bad. I love dogs. We always had dogs when I was growing up. After I got married the first time, along with kids, the ex told me I could have a dog. At 4 different times we had dogs. For about 3 days each time. Well, the last one we had for about a month. But all of them "disappeared". The ex would get tired of them and give them away or take them to the shelter while I was at work, without telling me. After the first time, you'd think I would have learned. Good thing we never had kids.

Anyway, now with my current husband, we plan on getting a dog. We've wanted to for a while, but circumstances weren't right. We want a terrier or terrier mix, preferably a yorkie, but we don't want to pay the outrageous prices people want. We'd also prefer a puppy, but would consider an older dog if the price was right.

I thought we had one. I saw an ad on craigslist over the weekend for a free 3 year old male yorkie. I called, we went and looked at him, he liked us and we liked him. The people who were giving him away said we were at the top of the list of people who had looked at him, and if no one else expressed interest he was ours. Got a call the next day that another couple came after we did, and they decided to give them the dog.

I was a little disappointed...ok, a lot disappointed. But I guess it wasn't meant to be. Now I've got puppy fever so bad though. I've made it my mission to find a puppy to add to our family within the next couple of months

Christmas Gift Baskets




Thanksgiving is in a couple of weeks, and Christmas is right behind. Have you made your Christmas gift list yet? Gift baskets make great gifts, especially for those on your list who are hard to buy for. You can put one together yourself, or purchase ready-made 1800flowers gift baskets.  Gift baskets from 1800flower are available using fruit, flowers, candies, cookies, nuts, and a variety of other gifts.

Gift baskets are the perfect Christmas gift for mothers or mothers-in-law, sisters, aunts, grandmothers or girlfriends. They are especially good for gift-giving to out-of-town relatives, as the gift baskets can be shipped directly to the recipient.

If you need a gift idea for that hard-to-buy for person on your gift list, think about a gift basket.

Vegas & Jeff Dunham

The hubby and I are heading to Vegas tomorrow for the weekend. Our anniversary was Wednesday (the 1st) and we got married in Vegas last year, so this is our anniversary trip/present to ourselves.

We're heading up Saturday morning, will play all day, and then Saturday night we have tickets to see Jeff Dunham at Caesar's Palace. I can't wait, it should be an awesome show. I love Jeff Dunham, and all his puppets, Peanut, Walter, Bubba J, Jose Jalapeno (on a stiiick). My favorite though is Achmed the Dead Terrorist. Silence...I kill you!

We'll be back on Sunday, and I'll review his show. In the meantime, enjoy this clip!
