"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog." -Edward Hoagland

For some reason, I can not convince myself that this is the last week of school and I need to study.  There are several reasons for this:

1.  It's the end of the semester, and I'm burnt out.
2.  There is always something really interesting on t.v.
3.  If I'm not sitting around thinking about my own problems, I'm sitting around thinking about my friends problems.

Anytime I think about complaining about my life, whether out loud or to myself, I think about what other people are going through.  If my friends have heard me say it once, they've heard me say it a million times..."it could always be worse".  And it could.  I know it could.  I'm tired of being in college.  I'm tired of worrying about what kind of job I'll get with my "liberal arts" degree (History), and I'm tired of wondering what the next step is that God wants me to take.  I'm a pretty laid back person, I'm not a worrier like a lot of other people are.  I know that God is 100% in control, and although I don't always show it, and even though sometimes I catch myself not trusting Him, I know that He IS in control and I believe this helps me have a pretty calm demeanor and helps me to not stress about things like other people do.  I'm pretty thankful that I have this mindset.  I try and stay positive and find a balance between taking it one day at a time, and also planning for the future.  There are certain things that will happen in our life that we have ZERO control over, so why worry about it?  Sometimes, every once in a while, I lose my mind, and usually my boyfriend Jimmy is the recipient of this craziness.  He doesn't handle it very well (sorry Jimmy), BUT, he always, always, always forgives me.  All I have to say is "I'm sorry" and he instantly forgives me and he never brings it up again.  Why can't I do that?  We should all do that.
The doggies are all doing good.  They keep me sane!  Their daddy has introduced them to a new snack:  mini marshmellows.  They go CRAZY over them!  I know, I know...they aren't good for them.  But fried chicken strips, french fries, and milkshakes aren't good for me either.  We only live once.  I love seein' those wittle bitty tales wag over marshymelloths!
BTW, Kate is still perfect.
Does anybody know of any good wedding websites other than theknot?  I have informed Jimmy I think we should get married next December.  We'll see!

It's been a while...

It's been forever!  As always, life gets in the way of taking time to write about my puppy dogs, and other things. 
The dogs are doing great.  Kate is undoubtedly the BEST dog in the WHOLE world.  She is absolutely perfect.  We did have a situation not long after she got out of "jail" where we were outside, and she saw someone across the road that had a dog, and she decided to take off after them.  I had to chase her, and the ground was wet because there was dew on the grass and I slipped out of my flip flops as I was running.  She really felt bad afterwards, and now as soon as I do the "kissy noise" she hauls butt to come back to me no matter what she is doing.  Other than THAT, she is a princess.  She doesn't get on my furniture without asking, she doesn't bark, etc, etc.  I just LOVE her.  She and the poodles don't play yet, but they all like to snuggle together which I think is just precious.
Is it sad that I dream about the day that I can have my OWN house, so that I can put ceramic tile and/or hardwood floor throughout the WHOLE house so that not only will it be easier to clean, but I will be able to get more dogs without feeling bad...?   =D  Hehehehe
I can't wait for school to be out.  I'm totally stressing out about graduating next year because I need to find a real job asap.  Last night at work I had not one, but TWO perverts call me and try to get me to talk about my personal life.  Wtc?  (Ok, if Kate were wearing pants, I would swear that she just crapped in them, holy moly, she is S-T-I-N-K-Y).
Also, I want to post a link to a website that I found that goes along with the bible studying that I've been doing.  God gave us a brain people, he wants us to  use it.
