Our
amazing foster puppy! No one should trust me to name a child.
Looking forward to the holiday, anyone doing anything cool? I will be hitting up a local Cheesecake Factory patio and watching fireworks #america. Now I feel a compulsive need to look up whether Cheesecake Factory is American, which kind of makes my evening even more American
We are also prepping to move because they raised the rent on my current place by $375! Telling them I was a starving artist didn’t seem to help. When I gave notice, for some reason I told them I’ll miss them, which was an awkward, at best, move.
We are moving to a house with bars on the front windows and my mom is thrilled. Don’t worry, we are investing in a “Beware of Dog” sign

What a rent increase! Whew! We have dog signs in almost every window. There’s even one in the dog’s house window. LOL
That’s amazing! Does your dog actually use the dog house? I am debating whether to get one
Not anymore. It’s too hot in Florida for him to be outside. and we’ve been fighting fire ants which are a problem for him and us. Fire ants are viscous when they attack and sting. He’s old now and loves being inside.
Yeah, that puppy will put the fear of God in them.
Lolol! We also have a 60 lb collie mix, who might be a big more likely, except he is the sweetest
I think so
I get the naming thing–you probably shouldn’t name any more animals. Ha. Actually that’s a pretty cool name. I’ve got a mutt named Esmeralda, which is what you get when you let a 3 year old who just wanted Disney’s Hunchback atrocity. Try shouting that off the back porch.
Also–you live near the beach for $375? You should keep that bad boy and sublet it weekly as a vacation rental.
$375 on top of what we are already paying! If it were $375 I would stay here forever.
Looks more like Kelly Clarkson
That was on the list of maybes
charming blog, happy day.
Ty!
First off…$375 dollars!!! What is wrong with this world? I remember when our rent went up about $75 bucks in 2009 and I was like, okay we just moved in here not even three months prior. But what can we do but flow in another direction of life.
Speaking of naming: the names you gave works perfectly for animals. Not humans though. I’m terrible in both arenas, so you can imagine my characters’ names in the books I write. Ha!
I think Fantasia Barrino is a great name. Of course, I have a Siamese cat named Emily Jane, so maybe I’m not so good at the naming thing either.
That’s a huge increase. Hope the move goes well.
