When I was thirty-five years old, I adopted a dog. Now, this might not sound that surprising except I had never had a dog before. Not as a child, not growing up. If my friends had dogs, I wasn't really that interested. So, the idea of bringing a dog into my neat, tidy, little home was a shock to me.
But I did my research, and I found my Shadow. She's a lab mix, and she loves other dogs. Sooo, a year later, I adopted Riley.
Now, I would love to tell you these are perfectly well-behaved dogs. But that would be a lie. If you look at his picture, you might notice that Riley is a hound mix. This means he is stubborn, loud and obnoxious. And while Shadow is super sweet, she also expects everyone to love her (and pet her) as much as I do! And if I don't keep up with the dusting and mopping and vacuuming, my once neat, tidy, little home starts to resemble a large kennel.
But I also wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.
So, I was wondering, is there anything that YOU'VE done to upset your neat, tidy, little world?
So excited that you have a blog! I have checked back at your website on occasion to see if you have any other releases - I'll definitely follow you on here. :-)
ReplyDeleteI took up writing mine (at www.jessicalemmon.com) to get into the habit of writing. So far, it's about my journey of *not* being published (ha ha).
I'll check back again!

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting! There are so many blogs out there, but I thought I should give one a try! I hope to post a few times a week.
My "pre-published" journey was a long one, and I think dedication and perseverance are two of the most important things you can learn!
