The "animal shuffle"

Transport weekend/adoption days weekend is upon us. Dave took Hugo the basset to the vet this morning to be micro chipped before he gets adopted out tomorrow. Turns out he already has 2 chips!!! Then he did the transport pick up for me so I could stay in bed and sleep/hide from the world. The Doxie he picked up is a scared but sweet mill dog. She will be going to Dennis' tomorrow.

Tomorrow Hugo's adopters are coming around noon, then it's off the Waterloo Petsmart with Chopper and maybe a puppy to show them off. Then run Lucy the mill Doxie to Grundy Center to meet up with Dennis.

Tonight 3 of the 7 kittens in the basement went to a new foster home, I'm so super excited about that. It will make it a little more manageable around here. And 2 or the 3 pups we took on Thursday already have approved apps and they can go to their new homes on Wednesday. They are so cute and fun to watch. But SO LOUD! :)

Found this on a friend's Facebook. Don't know who wrote it...

"Happiness is like a butterfly... The more you chase it the more it will elude you. But when you turn your attention to other things, it comes and sits softly on your shoulder."

The acreage

Waiting until Thursday to hear back from the realtor about the offer is killing me. I want this house so bad. It's like my dream house. And it's not that it's fancy or bigger, although of course it has land and no neighbors ;) But it's that I feel that I can be who I am and live the life I want in that house. It needs some repairs but as long as it's structurally sound then everything else is cosmetic.

But I struggle with the crossroad before us. I am so enthralled with this house that I'm to the "beg, borrow, and steal" point of wanting it. But what if, I put everything on the line for this house, and we get it, and I'm still not happy?

And then I think, (many times in fact), that I'm going to be 30 soon, and I'm not happy. And what if I spend the rest of my life chasing happiness?

My life would be a lot better if....

this was my motto
