I’m still job hunting, my current position was temporary from the beginning but Dec. 31st if fast approaching and so far nothing concrete. Finger, toes and paws crossed please, and TONS of prayers something comes thru SOON. I’m a planner and this “waiting to see” or “we plan to decide in January” is killing me.
Updates on the kids
Bella was 6 months old Saturday, she’s just over 4 lbs now and we’re waiting to hit 5 lbs to be spayed. She’s such a little ham and such a sweetheart, I never thought I’d even like a Chihuahua but she’s not a yappy dog and a SUPER sweetie! Loves giving kisses and sitting in my lap.
Maggie will be 11 months on the 9th, she’s taken the big sister/motherly role to Bella so well, she still steps on her at times but if Bella cries Maggie is the first on the scene. She’s such a character and though she was my birthday present from Adam’s mom last year he’s totally stolen her from me. He’s totally ridiculously nuts over that dog. Though she wasn’t suppose to reach 10 lbs she’s pushing 16 lbs fast and has the longest legs. She’s not the biggest (Cam is still a little over weight) but definitely the tallest of the pack.
Oscar was 2 years in December and doing well considering the where he came from. He still barks all the time at birds, loud cars, being running or stretching but he’s adjusting from street life well and LOVES the Christmas tree! He just sits there looking at it or naps on the back of the couch next to the tree. Super cute!
Bay Leigh will be 5 in February and is still the ref when there’s an argument. Bay Leigh has finally decided to be my cuddle bug again. I think he was too cool for a while to sit in Mom’s lap at night and cuddle but he’s slowly deciding he misses it too. So now he and Bella are in my lap, Oscar is behind me, Maggie is between Adam and I and Cam is either under one of our feet or on the other side of Adam. The couch is FULL! And Adam and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Cameron turns 9 this December and is losing weight. The vet told me he was border line obese in June so he’s suppose to be 25-27 lbs and we’re at 30 right now and he’s loving the cool weather. First time in a long time Cameron has gotten the puppy crazies but this last week he’s had them for a few minutes every night, seriously confuses the teenagers (Mag & Oscar) but that adds to the entertainment.
Jack, the explorer, has decided inside is better than outside when it’s cold so we’ve seen him a lot more than normal and thru a lot of hissing Jack and the folds have decided he gets the big chair in the living room, they have upstairs and the rocker from time to time.
Adam and I have decided the folds would be happier in a cat only home, so I’ve contacted the Scottish Fold rescue and Flux already has someone interested in him in NY. She sounds like a lovely lady. She’s had folds before, recently lost her male at 15.5 years (impressive age in my book) and still has his littermate/sister, Bonnie but wants to add Flux… I’ve spoken to her via email and phone and her vet reference has come thru wonderfully so now we’re just trying to figure a way to get him to his new home which is a cat only home and perfect for him since he’s terrified of all dogs but Bella. No interest in Libby yet but I’m hopeful she’ll find a great home too. Luckily she doesn’t mind the dogs and she and Jack don’t hiss at each other but give each other their space.
Adam and I are fine. I’m stressed about the job stuff and the possibility of a move to another state. Adam doesn’t let anything get to him until it’s in concrete so he’s same ol’ Adam. Christmas will be a much smaller affair this year but with the economy the way it is there’s no surprise there. I’m hoping to celebrate the new year out somewhere this year.
Mom, Dad and Michael are all well. Michael is job hunting too just in case (seems he gets laid off every year around this time). Dad’s company is doing pretty good and Mom newly diagnosed with diabetes is adjusting to the new diet and seems healthier and happier. She’s also taking on more and more at her church and seems to really enjoy it.
