I recently became the foster mother to a shy, old, anxious retired sled dog by the name of Una. She was a December gift after months (and years) of wishing for my own dog. Today she ran away.
I came across this blog after looking through my old documents. I can't believe we did this - I don't even remember it!
As you probably guessed we're all in and out of college by now. Just one of us left on her last semester (Go M!!). I graduated with a Bachelors in Criminal Justice, K a B.S. in English, and S a B.S. in Education! Wow. We're all so accomplished and old now!
We are just scheduling our annual Christmask and on Saturday we'll have a brunch with us and our moms! We're all in the same state after being apart here and there since 2012.
Anyway, it's late. M and I just got back from searching for Una. I was positive we found her tracks in the snow and we tried to follow them with no success. :( I appreciate the messages from facebook and encouragement from people, but I don't appreciate the occasional dig at my negligence as a dog mom. I keep Una's leash on because she's impossible to catch when I let her out to pee, so she escaped with her leash on. The comments are minute, but the last thing I need right now is someone telling me "The leash can get caught on stuff you know" or asking "how did this happen? How did she escape with her leash on?". Like, I know, SHARON. I KNOW that it's not the greatest idea and now she might be stuck under someone's porch unable to escape because of her leash! I know! Thanks for the help!
Ok, calming down.
WELCOME BACK TO OUR BLOG EVERYONE
Happy thoughts: I am also dogsiting a little Shih tzu named Wesley. He's adorable and frustrating at the same time. Sadie's still around, so we have quite the puppy party.
I moved out after college into an apartment with M (her parent's basement). It's awesome. I love living with her. It's a blast. I've been unemployed since Sept so I've been playing xbox all day. Currently on Skyrim, played a fair bit of Assassin's Creed, and Mass Effect 3. I'll tell you about my job before September in another post ;) I'll work on piecing together the time between now and 2012 when we stopped, while also moving forward to what we are currently doing.
To wrap up, since it is a new year, I'll post a list of highlights from 2017:
-Went to Tennessee for the first time, spring break 2017, coffee tour of the century with Shelby and Lizzie
-Internship at Yellowstone
-Graduated College
-4 Roadtrips: AK-VA, VA-AK, AK-WY, WY-AK, WA-AK
-Acquiring 2 dogs
-Starting P90X with K and seeing her every day
-Moving out!
-Living with my senior year roommate on Coffee Rd. (we love coffee)
-MASK all in the same place again!
-Finishing Don Quixote after nearly a year
Well, the beginning of a new year, of a new blog, and of new adventures. I hope we look back on this in ~another~ 10 years and catch up again. :)
Until next time.
