first blog

ok so this is my first blog and i do not know exactly what i will be writing about. i do know i will not be using punctuation or caps unless i am cursing and angry and writing really big.

i love dogs. i am in a battle with the animal shelter in my county to try and get them to go no kill. nathan winograd is my hero and i will probably write a lot about how i feel about the animal sheltering industry. there will be cursing and tears. sorry any quakers reading this, you've been warned.

i dont just love dogs! i have some rescue cats here for adoption and i have a husband and some sons who are not up for adoption at this time. we have 6 kids between us and my oldest son and his girl are having our 5th grandchild! we do not know yet if new baby is a boy or a girl. we are very excited though. grandchildren rock! they are a ton of fun! we dont get to see our grands very often because they are spread across the country and one, joey, is in Heaven and we know we will see him again someday. our kids are ralph, cody, dave, eli, meg, and dak. the grands are damien, promise, preslie, joey, and they are calling the new baby madeleine but we dont know for sure she is a girl so for now we can call her madeleine. our dogs are geister b, sparky lee, slinky d, blacky z, hobo the shadow hoffman, hank senior, bocephus, shepherd pie and joe cocker. we have a foster dog, named riley and a slew of foster cats. our home is happy and cozy, not crowded. 4 of our guys are dachshunds, of course joe cocker is a cocker spaniel and 4 of our guys are old senior dogs. they are staying with us so that they can live out their lives with someone who will honor them with dignity, respect and love til they are ready to go to Heaven.

i hate peta, the pinko terrorist bastards. i will probably write some about my hatred for peta. buncha retards they are. well in my humble opinion...

i know that bloggers often change their names and give their family members pseudonyms, but i like our names and i dont think i could come up with cooler names for our dogs or grandchildren so we are just gonna be real here.

i have a lot of blessings, real good real friends that i can be me with. i have some great family and my husband is pretty good at everything he tries. bill can cook and he can clean and he is so intelligent and he can do laundry and he can work on cars and he can work on air conditioners and heaters and he is a good dad and he is a sweet boy. we share the pants in the family and sometimes they get a little crowded but not often. i think we are pretty good friends. he can kick my ass at scrabble. we do not always see eye to eye about money. he is from the school of get a lot of it then die and leave it to other people. i am more like lets live now and give it to the grands and the dogs because tomorrow me may die.

i have some charities that i am thinking about for the upcoming year. i want to make sure that all the dogs and cats at the shelter have a warm blanket to snuggle up in. so i will be crocheting my hands off to try and get some done for christmas next year.

i am not very organized, am sort of a rambler and i dont spell check so this post may end up edited and it may not. free writing is my style and this is really about healing and changing and growing and not how pretty i can punctuate or group words together but more about getting whatever it is in there lurking beneath the surface out in the open. maybe a theme will turn up and maybe this will just end up being a journaling experience. who knows.
