doggie!

we finally made it out to the humane society on saturday, and after 4 hours we adopted a great dog. he is black, a black lab mix...and he is so cute and cuddly. his previous parents were in the air force and we deployed to iraq, so they had to move suddenly, and dogs are not allowed on the base, so they had to surrender him and another dog to the humane society. he is very well-mannered, so it is evident that they did an exellent job traning and loving him in the 4 years that they had him. i will be taking so pictures of him tonight to post. with the holiday weekend and the ever-lasting un-packing, there just was no time for much this weekend. the kitties are none-too-pleased about milo. but i am sure they will be cool in a few more days. sally acted like she hated the kitten at first too, and she got over that soon enough. i am not expecting a best friendship between the species, just overall tolereance for everyone. so although my little zoo lost one...my little brown mouse sylvester (vestie) died the friday before the move, i have also gained one now. i'll be on a break from pets for a while now, but there is one more that i desire: a leopard gecko. they are so neat. anyway, i am so happy about my doggie that i can't think about wanting anyhting else right now. the house is coming along...although we are getting a bit tired of working on it, all day, every day. so even though i didn't want to come to work today, it is nice to be doing something other than hauling stuff all over the house. yes sir. the house warming party is going to be in two weeks, so i will be posting an invite soon for that!! keep your eyes open for that one. neil and i will be going through all of our stuff so that we can find out what we are missing or what needs replacing as far as household goods go. i am still going with a pink kitchen, despite everyone's dismay. i have learned in the past that all of my most genius plans start out with lots of rebellion from others, so i am confidant that this will just be another case of that. (haha) well, our thanksgiving was great, and i hope your was too. can't wait for the new year, and to see santa because i have been a really good girl this year...
