Annie jo
We just adopted Annie from a shelter in Chicago called PAWS. They are a no kill shelter, and I have never seen a shelter so professionally run. They do make you jump through some hoops to make sure that their dogs are going to a household that is a good fit for the pup.
Annie was her name when we met her, and we decided to add in the Jo because apparently she is my name sake. As will be my first daughter. Not weird, I promise.
Annie has the best temperament I have ever seen in a puppy, she is so relaxed and sweet. She doesn't chew on things and she is so obedient. She has spent most of her life in a pound or shelter, so this really is her personality.
The vet thinks she is a black lab and grey hound mix.
We couldn't feel luckier.
The therapy of moving.
I have just been the busiest with moving, and trying to recuperate from our ridiculous summer. BUT good news: Just got my new computer, and I am looking for every reason to use it. Starting in a minute. Or maybe Monday when I finish unpacking our new apartment. I can't stand having boxes unpacked.
I have to say, I really actually enjoy unpacking in a way. Its the best opportunity to leave excess behind. What is it about decluttering my material life, helps me declutter my inner self? Either way I love it.
Less is more. I can see simplicity in on the horizon. (Sigh)
Cherry Pepsi, Hummis, and Artisan Bread.
Cherry Pepsi takes me back to Spanish tiles, chimichanga mornings, the above ground pool, dad's hand crafted bar and dancing to Coyote Ugly's soundtrack with my sister Tara. In San Fran for work. Leaving to San Diego today.
Flying on our biggest plane for the first time. Feeling nervous.
Trader Joe's is great.
