becoming one of them....

Its official ...I am one of them. The kind of people I swore I would never be. The kind that talks to their dog and sleeps with them, even spends hours playing with them and actually thinking there is nothing else I rather do. I coo...yes I said coo at other peoples dogs and cats. Pet pitbulls like I had no fear and enjoy being slubbered on by baskethounds the size of horses. What have I become.
Two years ago Hubby and I were having a discussion about dogs. My response...they are for the outside...they are not even to enter my bedroom..however today as I am awakened by something licking my hair....I realise the change that has occured.
Yesterday Knox had his last vet visit...thank goodness....cause he is breaking my bank. Between that , my trip to Memphis , unexpected expenses of buying new tires and crap that life is full of... I barely had enough to play with.
However I did learned how small the world can be. So at the doggy park yesterday we met a girl and her dog, a pit named Capone...yes like Al Capone...he is the friendliest thing ever and ofcourse Knox who adores bigger dogs ran off with his new friend. So happens this girl lives in the same apartment complex as me...great coincedence...then to top it off another lady with her Lab and Boxer mix joins in the convo and aparently she, who doesnt not live at the apartment complex but is friends with the one of the managers, heard about how cute Knox was and but wasnt too sure if I was the person her manager friend was talking about. But throughout the conversation she realizes who we were and was very excited to meet us. So now Knox and I have two other friends to add to the list.
My trip to Memphis was okay..uneventful, I wasnt too impressed with the city itself but I loved my hotel room. The last time I stayed in a hotel it was me and Hubby so it was kind of lonely having to be there alone. I wasnt even inspired to go out to a bar or anything...sure I did a little shopping, drove around and admired the houses but other than that I stayed in enjoying the few days I would have HBO at my disposal.
School is to begin on Tuesday...I still have the books they sent me in the box. I opened to box , but havent taken out the books. I guess I am prolonging the inevitable as long as I can. Just the thought of it has me sighing heavily.
Anyway I am going continue cooking..its 1030 and I am making lunch like I am Susan Home maker...I think its cause I havent cooked in days (okay..weeks) that I am feeling guilty.
Maybe I may go out before I have to work...hmm maybe
