200th Post Giveaway!


Who doesn't love a giftcard from Bath & Bodyworks?!? A $15 giftcard can be yours just for commenting on my blog either today or tomorrow. Not only is this a celebration on my bloggin' success (lol), but also a way to thank all of my faithful followers and commenters. I LOVE comments! The winner of this giveaway will be chosen by a random number generator. Good luck!!!
***And to answer a few questions about the dog I found last week. After a couple of days of having him, he was starting to get a little over protective of me and ended up biting Chloe when she came up to cuddle. Poor Chloe, I know! My babies always come first, and the dog had to go. It wasn't a difficult decision to make, although I had become quite attached to him. He really was a good dog, one of the sweetest I've known. He just didn't like to share me and was a better fit for someone who didn't have any other pets. You should have seen the way he followed me around and how he would block the doorway when I showered, lol. He was so cute! But anyways, the next day we dropped him off at the shelter and had the employees there keep us updated. He was held there for 3 days to allow his owners yet another chance to claim him, they did not. I now strongly believe that he had to have been abandoned. I did EVERYTHING I could to find his owners and got nothing. :( But the good news is that the shelter workers notified me (before his hold was even up) that someone was already interested in adopting him. And yes, she adopted him as soon as she could, and he now has a new family- one that will hopefully love him throughout the rest of his life. And in case you were wondering, we would have pulled him from the shelter ourselves (and taken the liberty of finding a new home for him) if for any reason he hadn't been adopted in time or taken in by a rescue group. We wouldn't have allowed him to be put down for any reason.

I'm so glad the dog found a good home. Our shelters here are so full. One shelter I called said they have so few spots available and the animals they take in have to be adoptable. I hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend. You get Monday off, don't you?

Hey Tara! I noticed on facebook you were a little sad about your blogging buddies. I'm really still here! It just seems like my time on the computer has been very limited due to all the stuff I'm finding myself having to do before this baby comes, but I still check your blog as often as I can. Good for you for doing a giveaway. I don't think I'll ever get around to doing one, but if you catch me on a bad day maybe one of my kids will be the giveaway. ;) Just kidding. I love my kids...even those of the 2 year old variety.
