My Childhood

...was largely based on my love of animals. I was sorting pictures today and came across a couple pictures that pretty much sum me up as a kid:

Me with Little Bear (the Chocolate Lab) and Marble (the Yellow Lab). They were my buds! Marble died when she was 3 or 4 of cancer. Bear lived to be almost 14. I was 17 years old when he died. I hold a special place in my heart for Chocolate Labs because of Bear :) I love this picture because it reminds me how happy I was with them and there are a lot of good memories with these dogs.

Since the real animals couldn't explore the neighborhood with me, I guess I substituted my stuffed animals. I don't remember that cat puppet thing, but the seal, she was one of my favorites. She was called "Sealy." I got her as a Christmas present.

I am trying to organize all the randomness that I have stuffed into drawers everywhere around here, so as I find pics of Little Bear, I may do a blog post about his life and our time together :)

In other news...I JUST GRADUATED WITH MY MASTER'S DEGREE!!!!!!!! I feel like a free woman!!! Wooohooo!!!! Hopefully you will be seeing more of me on here now!

Until next time,

Beyond The Myth

Hi all!! I recently heard about a documentary that is having showings and it's about Pitbulls and breed discrimination. It is called Beyond The Myth. Does anyone know if it's any good, if the information is accurate? Basically, does anyone know if it's worth seeing?? I would have to drive a couple hours to see it which I totally want to do if it is worth seeing!!

I hope everyone out there had a great Easter!! <3Looking forward to summer<3,

Pitbull Necklace (Cell Phone Pix Series: Part 6)

I helped with a fundraiser back in December for a local Pitbull rescue, and thought I needed something pitbull-ish to wear! So I ordered a cute necklace from etsy.com

The order went smoothly and I received it right on time! It even came in this cute little box:

With a nice note and info about the jewelry!

Here's the necklace (sorry it's blurry :/ ). It's really cute and a great buy! There is a bigger version of the charm than this one. I bought the mini version and kind of wish I would've gotten the bigger one just because you can't really see what this one is if you aren't close to it, but other than that I love it!

The fundraiser was to wrap presents for everyone at a mall, and the people who want presents wrapped pay by donation. It was sooo fun, and everyone was in the Christmas spirit. No one was in a rush or grumpy, and everyone was very generous. The holiday season is the one thing I love about winter. Everyone just seems a little happier.

We hope every one's February is off to a great start! We've had horrible weather here, we're just trying to stay warm and cheery throughout the rest of this gloomy winter season!

Warm thoughts & Pibble bling, -The Pooches
