I'm just as much of an animal lover now that I have children as I was before I had them - the only difference is that back then I had more time to devote to my animals. I used to have 2 dogs and 5 cats. Now, I have 1 dog and 1 cat - plus a few fish and a hamster. I miss my first dog, Odhinn, and I wish I could have him back. I would at least like to know how he's doing - here's what happened with him

I have Angus now and I love him but he's certainly no Odhinn. Last week we got a puppy and that lasted about an hour. (you can read about that fiasco here) I'm not sure what is going on with me right now - why I am still obsessing over Odhinn. I mean, to the point where I wanted another dog. I know no dog will ever replace him.

I need to get out of this funk! What the heck! I thought I got rid of all the ickies on New Moon! Since I was feeling like this I decided to do something good - this morning I made a donation for Sammy and I just went back to the website this afternoon and saw that they have met their goal money wise! yay!
