i've always been a dog person

Well.. so much for posting every day! It's been 4 days, already I'm a slacker and it's only my second post! Oh well.

So what's new? Honestly, pretty much nothing since the last post. Garrett and I fixed dinner for his family on monday night. We made bratwurst, cream cheese corn and we grilled fruit drizzled in honey for dessert. Yummy! Monday during the day Garrett and I hung out with Lisa (his mom). It's been a while since we've spent time with her and it was a lot of fun. Yesterday I read the book My Sister's Keeper. it was great, but so sad! I want to see the movie now, but I heard the movie is a lot different from the book. I suppose that's pretty normal though. I love reading, but books never last me long. I wish I could space them out, but when I start reading a book and I love it I usually end up reading it in a day or two! I suppose I am a book worm. Yesterday on the way to the grocery store I saw an emaciated (starving) little puppy walking along the side of the road. Of course you all know I have a very strong heart for mistreated animals, so I pulled over. I tried for 5 minutes to coax him to come to me, but he was very skiddish. He must've been on his own for a while, because when dogs are recently put on the street they are very human friendly, but this dog was really scared. He kept backing up until finally he ran into the woods. I felt bad for the poor guy, I would've taken him but he wouldn't come to me. I checked on my way home to see if he was still lurking around but he was gone. Hopefully someone else will find him and take care of him. I love to look at craigslist.com at the pet section and see all the cute puppies that people are giving away. I can't wait until I'll be able to afford a dog. Mom, you should look at craigslist, I saw just this morning someone posting in my area giving away free pureblood german shepherd puppies. They were cute as can be. I'm sure it's the same in Chicago. Most people are either giving them away free or charge a small rehoming fee like $50. it's like petfinder.com on steroids.

Well, I'm about to jump in the shower. Not sure what my plans are for tonight, or the rest of the week for that matter. I think on Saturday we might be going on a day trip to the Biltmore with Lisa's family to do some horseback riding around the grounds and visit the vineyards and gardens and stuff. it'll be fun! Hope all is well with you guys, remember you can leave me comments on my posts and tell me how you're doing!
