I'm back!
Over the course of the last few days, we have gone out and looked at puppies everywhere, the shelters, the pet stores, private parties, and didn't find any we loved--well, one, but he was too expensive.
Today, after Nick took me out to lunch for my birthday and we had one last fruitless search for the right dog, and then got groceries and came home, none of us were hungry for dinner yet--so Greg took me back to the first place and got me my dog for my birthday. His name is Pookah.
There are recent pictures of all the kids and the puppy.
I have had a LOVELY birthday.
Happy Birthday, Deena, most wonderful woman!
Now with brand-new PUPPY of Adorableness!
Hey GC, know when you are going to OR yet?
Alas, I am going from Fri 8/11 - Mon 8/14.
All the way to Portland or are you staying south of me,
Gloom GlamCookie? (I am remembering Salem but I could be wrong.)
The question, I guess, is: At which F2F did you most want to fuck me?
I was kinda drunk. And I apologized.
Cass darlin, we may be heading southward tomorrow. While it is POSSIBLE we may win all 4 games, the likelihood is small. We are going to check out of the hotel in the am, and check back in if they do make it or head down the hill if they don't.
Maybe you can offer some Portland traffic advice - I don't wanna get stuck again. What hours should we just plain avoid trying to get through on 5?
Oooooh, Happy puppy-getting day, Deena!
Vehicle repair funding~ma, sj.
Yay, being in new apartment, vw.
I skipped. I skipped like a skippity skipping McSkippy thing.
Pookah is so cute! Happy Birthday again, Deena! I'm glad you had a good day.

I would avoid it from about 4 to 6:30 to be safe. Though I've only hit traffic in a much narrower band.
Might want to check with Pete or Jilli (hi Pete and Jilli!) to see if there are any areas to worry about north of Portland.
Will you guys maybe have time for a cup of coffee about ten miles south of Portland? I won't even bring a clicky stick...
I LOVE PUPPIES!
We saw so many puppies, and they were all cute, but there was always something not quite right. Several that the kids liked seemed too fragile to be left alone with them; one I liked they were afraid of; one we wanted to adopt from the animal shelter had to be put down.
This puppy, though, I sat on the floor and the lady put him down, and he ran right up the front of me and kissed my whole face and now, we're in love. He's so sweet and the babies love him too.
Aww, Happy Birthday Deena! And congratulations on the new puppy -- so adorable.
