Finally Becoming Friends

The Giving Tree

My son and his friend collected items to keep children warm during the winter months. In the program they are in at school each student has to do a minimum of 15 hours of community service. The two of them decided to use this idea as part of their community service.

Here are the pictures of the Giving Tree. All of the mittens, hats, and socks collected will be distributed to the kids at the soup kitchen.

The New Family Member

There is a girl who has this blog http://byebyepie.typepad.com and if you have never read it you need to head on over there right now. Well not right now after you read this post about her and my new family member.

June is obsessed with animals. She picks dogs up off the street and goes to the dog park and lets dogs pee on her leg. She finds stray cats at work. You no the obsessed animal type. She's the type that just loves animals no matter what they do. My 14 year old likes to look at her blog and the two of us laugh like crazy at her all the time. My husband has yet to figure out who this June is or where we know her from. But we can be riding down the road and just spit out something that June said and crack ourselves up.

Anyway, to the point of the new family member. Yesterday at the mall there were 10 million people so we decided to leave and since we didn't have anything better to do we went to visit the animal shelter. We were just going to visit and talk to the dogs. Then we saw this puppy. Somehow we started talking about when June decided to do DNA tests on her dog and all the time she thought the dog had some lab in her it was Pit Bull. We went outside and took some pictures to bring home to show the rest of the family. Once we got home we didn't wait on anyone else we just turned right around and went back to the shelter and picked up that little puppy.

Of course we had to think of some really cute name for the puppy and you know the best we could come up with - JUNE. Yep, she's a June alright. We have no idea what kind she is other than a mix. But she acts like a June, looks like a June, and whines not that June ever whines.

Let me tell you the husband wasn't real happy about this new edition. I tried to tell him I picked her up on the side of the road but I couldn't just lie. And guess who else DOES NOT LIKE Miss June. Our 8 year old rescue dog, Lucky. She's so mad she won't even sit beside me on the sofa.

One last thing. June poops all the time. I need help. How do I train her to go outside?

Everyone needs a new puppy!

Details later.
