Dog Days

Ron Paul is still on the hunt, it is so funny to me to watch the news and hardly ever hear his name mentioned even if he beats one of the front runners. Here is an article about his victory over Thompson and Guiliani. Ron

In Dog news we are considering trying out another dog. My friend Tia who has an unusual psychic connection with lost dogs was getting her mail when someone drove by and tossed a dog out. Of course she scammed my other friend Maura to accompany her on an ambush of our house Monday night with said dog in tow. Well this dog (she) is a very cute golden elfish dog, we have no idea what she is but I don't think she weighs more than 10 pounds and is probably 3-5 months old. She probably is a terrier,spaniel, Chihuahua mix but doesn't have the buggy eyes. We will probably be bringing her into our family this weekend for a trial run, because Tia would be happy to take her back if she turns out to be a neurotic psychopath. Since we had such a bad experience last time with the black moron I am hesitant to jump into doggy adoption quickly. I will post a picture this weekend of our guest and see if you all recognize any breeds in her.

I did hear from my adoption facilitator today and found out that I am still in Parquet, even though this means I still have a potentially long wait ahead of me I am somewhat relieved because for a while they didn't even know where my paperwork was. I also found out that lots of people are stuck here for some unknown reason. I still have to go to MOI which is usually a 4-8 month wait before you go to Visas (usually a 2-4 week wait) and then home. Please pray even while you are reading this that my paperwork would be released, I have been here almost 9 months and that is way long for this particular phase. My homestudy will expire in May and I will have to update again (pain since that will be the third time) There is always hope in the lord that this does not have to be the case, especially since Haiti doesn't have a system or go in any kind of order.

Have you ever watched "Dog Whisperer" on National Geographic channel?
"SHHHH!!" Try it out on your new doggy.

yes, I love that show! My sil is an animal trainer so I am getting good tips from her as well. She said being consistent is incredibly important, hmm kinda like raising children.

P.S. I did call you back, but I won't be here today.

ummm...it's a "spiritual connection" not "psychic connection," because that would be demonic. :)

I love a time line...even in prayers. Got your back!

I was at Tia's house last night and I LOVE your potentially new dog. She is a little dear and I don't usually like small dogs. :)

Your Ron Paul link isn't working. I was trying to read it. I found one today where they even talk about Fred Thompson as doing well in MI but don't mention RP even though he beat FT. Ridiculous.

I'm a little offended at first that Tia didn't try to pawn the dog off on our family since I specifically requested a small dog and she would have to drive right past my house in order to get to yours. But then again, it's probably a blessing since we will be getting a new baby in a few weeks, so go ahead. I don't want it anyway.

Catrina said...

Deeann,
Oh come on now you can't be so greedy to want a dog and a new baby all at once. Leave some of the good stuff for the rest of us.

Tia Lynn said...

And here I thought I was being considerate by not pestering a soon-to-be-mama! UMPH! :)

Wow! What a long time to wait. Hopefully, a miracle will happen, and you won't have to wait that much longer.
