A new addition to the family!

A new doggie!

My parents were looking for a dog for my Dad's aunt. Annnnnnnnd found one for themselves instead. Surprising, I know. She was found abandoned about three months ago. They don't think she was abused or anything, but she needed some medical care and she does have Cushing's Disease. That's what Riley had and what Earl has now so my parents are experienced with caring for it. They think she's around 10 years old and she's very tiny. A big difference from Riley's gigantor size. She was over for a visit yesterday and Earl pretty much wanted nothing to do with her. But I'm sure they'll adjust to each other. She's coming to live with them next weekend and I can't wait to meet her!

Since she was abandoned they don't know her name. The foster lady has been calling her NeNe. Uhh, WUT? My mom wants Allie or Molly. I'm pushing for Maisie or Isabella. I hope I win this one.

So yeah. Exciting! It's going to be weird that she won't really feel like my dog at all since I don't live here anymore. We got Riley while I still lived at home so he was always my dog even after I moved out.

In other news, I got recognized today at work. "You're on Facebook!" Uhhh, yeah? "I recognized you by your hair." It wasn't a total stranger or anything - she was the younger sister of someone I went to school with - but it was still a little odd.

We got some new CDs in and one of them has a version of "Musetta's Waltz" on it. The only reason I recognized it was because of RENT. I totally fail at classical music.

Awww, that's awesome! I bet Earl will get used to having another dog around soon enough. :)

He's not going to have much choice in the matter. She's going to be there whether he likes it or not. =)

AWW! She looks like such a sweet girl. I can't wait until you get to meet her!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Me too! She might be there for Easter dinner. =)

Hey, have you and j decided about the church dinner on the 19th? It actually starts at 11:30am instead of noon, in case you're working. I'm just trying to make sure I get all the tickets I need.

That's the weekend we're going to be in St. Cloud. Let me check with t and Julie and get back to you on it. Hopefully I'll know today or tomorrow.

Okay!

[duckduck.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, we are not going to make it back in time. :(!!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know!

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Actually, do you know what time you will be getting back? Because they'll be seating until 4:30. No pressure, I'd just hate for you to miss out on yummy yummy food!

OMG the CUUUUUTE!!!!!!

Aww what a sweetheart. I'm sure she'll fit right in. I hope she passes with flying colors at her intro into the fam!

RENT FTW!!!!!

I think she's going to do well. My mom said she definitely has the Scottie stubborness thing going. I miss it.

In other news, I got recognized today at...

@school: "Hey! don't you work at bookstore?" eep.

@work: "Hey! aren't you bibliogrrl? I have seen you post on: (insert community here)." That has happened more than once.

Weird shit, the internet.

ALSO, I am currently in flirts with a boy who knows some of the 612 crew. You don't know him, but it is YET ANOTHER small internet thing. Fucking small world. And I met him somewhere else completely.

I'm used to getting recognized at concerts and stuff. Not in 'real life'. It's kind of odd.

Don't you know? There's only about 10 people that actually live here.

I'm still amused that Jenni & Matt will be in Chicago the same weekend I am.

[bibliogrrl.livejournal.com]

As will ANOTHER INTERNET PERSON. Someone I know from SF.

It's going to be a weird summer.

naww, doggie! so sweet!

[annayork.livejournal.com]

Awww what a little sweetie! Sometimes it takes a while for dogs to get used to eachother, but eventually they'll come around once they realize the new one isn't going anywhere :-)

[leighblack.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure he'll come around. Poor thing!
