I will be getting another dog in the near future. I had Tippy for 13 years after wanting a dog for most of my life. The companionship is not something I am willing to give up.

I have started a "Dog Adoption Fund" to save money for a new doggy. The average adoption fee in the area is around $100, plus all the new stuff I would need like a collar, leash, food dish, etc. Mike wants me to wait a few months before I get a new dog, so I will. I have $41 saved so far. I have stopped buying sodas to help save $$. It was suggested by my mother that I find a doggy piggy bank to put the money in. I finally found one today, after going to at least, 50 different stores. I found one at Walgreens. It is a plush dog that barks and glows when you put money in it.

We are allowed to bring out pets to work, so there are several dogs to play with there. I am jealous of those who bring the dogs to work cause they still have dogs, yet am grateful they bring them. It has helped me tremendously to be able to hug and love on the dogs at the office, so thanks guys!!!

The weather this summer has sucked for us pool owners. It is too cold to use the pool on weekends. During the week it gets hot, but as the weekend approaches, the temperatures cool off to way below normal. The temp in the pool today was 75 degrees. I did have a floaty thing that kept me mostly out of the water when on it, but I accidentally broke it, and they are sold out at the stores. End of the season and all that. I want to lie in the pool and sunbathe, but it is too cold. That is so wrong for the end of August in Missouri. The average high for this time of the year is around 90 with the humidity around 110%. I know it is on purpose. This is the first year we have had a pool and no season pass to Six Flags. Okay, Mike is the one who brought that up.

I do not know why the comments section does not work correctly. It does whenever we test it. Mike will be working on it. He does the technical stuff, I do laundry. :)
