Pet Friday
Why I sit on the floor.
(There's actually a fairly nice couch under the dog (and cat) blankets)

"Dog's lives are short, too short, but you know that going in. You know the pain is coming, you're going to lose a dog, and there's going to be great anguish, so you live fully in the moment with her, never fail to share her joy or delight in her innocence, because you can't support the illusion that a dog can be your lifelong companion. There's such beauty in the hard honesty of that, in accepting and giving love while always aware it comes with an unbearable price. Maybe loving dogs is a way we do penance for all the other illisions we allow ourselves and for the mistakes we make because of those illusions."

Words To Live By
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson

Great photos of your pets!
Thanks for your comment. I didnt really roll my eyes. I asked for everyone's opinion and I treasure your opinion and I think its good that you can be open with me and help me through my life. I need some moral support with this life thing because its hard.
Yeah I love Kyle with all my heart and I think that we will end up together but who knows what will happen in our future.
But you will be happy to know that I talked to Kyle and he told me to go with my friend because we can spend any time together. He told me that he wanted me to go out and have a girls night and just have fun. So thats my choice.
Thanks Aunt Jenn. Love you too =)
My dog sleeps on out couch all the time. If we want to use it we have to vacuum it first :)
Cute pets. They sure look comfy :)
Kyle is a really good guy and it treats me like I am a queen. =) I remember when I was little my mom would always say "Mel never date a man unless he treats you as good as Big Daddy treats me." And thats how Kyle treats me.
I hope you have a good weekend too. The girls tonight are going to go out to eat and then to a pagant to watch our friend compete for Miss Skiatook.
