Those dog people

I'm finally feeling well enough to sit at the computer and write. The weekend flew by with so much going on and then I was hit by some evil virus. YUCK! Anyway, things are on the upswing.
We said farewell to a wonderful family on Saturday. Andrea and Nathan as well as there boys were a delight to be around. We really loved getting to know them when we were all in a Marriage Enrichment seminar at church. Andrea was also instumental in getting me to face my fear of the gym. We are going to miss you Bolton family! Hope Texas treats you well.
So the above mentioned farewell party led me to a realization, I have become one of "those dog people". You know the ones, they ooh and goo at their puppies, spend more money on the pooch than their children and take them everywhere they go. Well, that's me! Since adopting Ginger I have become a nut! I talk to her like I talked to the girls when they were babies. Any chance I have to run to Petsmart I take it. I just love to peruse the little clothes, toys and other accessories. I love it when people smile at us when we are walking around. Can we say a little weird? I have taken this little peeing and pooping machine with me everywhere. To the store, to the farewell party, even to church! Yep! Crazy dog lady, that's me!! I am trying to pin point what it is about this little sweetie that has made me so wacko. I mean I have had Grady for over a year and I love him too but it's different. Maybe it's because she is so tiny, or that she loves to snuggle with me under a blanket and sleep, or maybe it's the way she runs to me with wild abandon on those stubby little legs when she spots me. What ever the reason I am truly enjoying it. So if I am labeled a " crazy dog person" then so be it!
