So after this month starting off rough, there is light at the end of our tunnel! The transmission went out in my beloved green machine( '98 gmc 1500 4wd), after about a week or so of thinking of fixing it, we decided we need a NEW car. On to the bank we went and found out we got approved for x amount of dollars for a new car:)) That's right we, not me and my mom or anyone else, my husband and I:)) It's a great feeling! We are officially grown:))Tomorrow is the big day of getting a car!!!! Woohooo! Can you say freaking excited? Hells yes ! New car here we come :)) Now to choose the perfect one! Our new puppy Ranger is excited too!!

All Dogs Go to Heaven....

Thursday December 1st will be remembered for a long time for my husband and I. The day started out perfect.. Work and then shopping for myself :)) I needed the time to myself; two HUGE dogs and a husband to love and cherish is a little much sometimes :)) Until......
4:50 rolls around and I get a phone call from my husband, Michael. The dogs Scooby( pitbull) and Stella (Doberman) had slipped the gate and were on the loose!! They had done this once before and we found them down the block trying to play with neighbor dogs. This time was different:( I came home immediately and started the search. Up and down the streets calling and whistling, in the car and then on foot and then back in the car. No sign anywhere! It was now 7 and almost completely dark. We decided to leave food and water out and run right up he road and get subway right quick. Less than 10 min we were back to driving in the neighborhood, then we ate. We sat in the house with the doors open and every 10min or so Michael called for them. No sign :( I couldn't do it I had to go to Walmart really quick. We left a cage outside in case they showed up and kept the food and water out too. 30-45 min later... Not one sign of them:(( that's when it hit me.. My two wonderful dogs were lost out in the cold and there was nothing more we could do. Michael had to go to work and I had to work the next morning. I made sure out side where they once stood when it was raining because thy were scared of raindrops, was now an empty crate for them if they wanted a warm safe place til morning. Every night they slept at the foot of my bed making me feel safe while Michael worked. Thursday night it was empty. Their toys and blankets everywhere I cried myself to sleep scared and sad. I usually woke up to let them out but instead a eerie peaceful night, and at morning I didn't have to let them out before they went up til Michael came home. It was horrible but I was doing ok... Right before I was gonna step out the door for work my brother in law called.." Take the long way to work".. Wait why I asked. " Were they together?" yes WHY? "I think I seen one of them" and at that point I knew what he was saying. I hung up and darted out the door and drove my regular way to work. BIG MISTAKE! There laying in the turn lane in town was my baby girl Stella. It was bad she was mangled and just bad. I couldn't make it thru work like that so I asked to go home and and luckily my husband got off work when i go to work. I broke the news to him and he said to calm down and get home. He held me while I cried. He told me he already made phone calls and I needed to find another dog I wanted.I didn't know what to think. Is it betraying your dogs to want another so soon? Well we found one a few hours later and it's a male Doberman we named Ranger. We have notified pounds and vets of Scooby's disappearance and still no sign but everyday we check and hope he shows up. They meant a lot to us and always will. I still cry and wonder what if but I have to stop sometime and focus on the short time my husband has left with me til he leaves in January. Scooby and Stella will always have special places in our hearts and will never be replaced. To have two dogs just taken away like that and to try and deal with that is hard. Ranger is a new addition and I hope to teach him some of their old tricks to celebrate them:)) Scooby, you come back anytime now:)) Stella, you rest easy baby girl :)) I had to get this out and off my chest. It's been rough:((
