Meet Betty

This is Betty...she is my foster dog.

She's about 5 yrs old and as sweet as they come! She was found by someone as a stray and no one came forward to claim her. The lady who found her gave her to a "friend" who didn't like that she got into the garbage when he was gone, so he told the lady he was gonna either take her to the pound, or shoot her! Can you imagine someone being so dumb? Ummm, a crate would solve the problem. Anyway, better for her not to be w/ such an ignorant man as that anyway.
She deserves so much more.

She will make someone a wonderful loyal companion. She loves to go for rides, and walks, but most of all she just loves to be petted and have her tummy rubbed! I hope we can find her a great home. I know there is someone out there just waiting for a girl like Betty to make their life complete!
BTW...she loves her crate :)

Happy New Year ...a few days late :)



I hope everyone is off to a great start for 2012!!! I am, and it is b/c I am pushing myself and I have set strong goals for myself this year.

This is the year of change via productivity! I won't be spending as much time on my blog nor online living my life out in public. It's far too time consuming and not effective for real life. It's time taken away from working, and attending to what really needs to be done here at home.

2011 was spent by me just muddling through. I was empty and sad, as so much has happened, and these changes were difficult and painful to accept, but I did discover that it was the acceptance of these changes that has brought forth some sort of healing for me. Strange isn't it?

It's like a key piece to the puzzle of life was given to me. The unwillingness or inability to accept the changes kept me like a deer in headlights, emotionally paralyzed and unable to really function effectively. Because of this I feel that people who were once a part of my life seemed to have disappeared, they had no idea what I was really going through, and some still have no idea, and that is OK....b/c the ones who have no interest in knowing are the ones who really needed to disappear. They are not true friends to begin with. The fair weathered ones, aka the takers ;)
I'm letting go of the hurt that it caused me.....it's about them not me, never was.
Some have their own personal issues that consumed them, and for them I am sorry I was too busy with mine to know. I'm sorry that some couldn't see that. I value the ones who are true and not in the friendship for what they can get out of it, and I hold them close in my heart.

For me 2012, is about me, and that is what I am focusing on, then I am better able to be a good friend to those who are truly interested in a friendship that is real. I am going to be a better person in 2012, and I am aiming high to find happiness...true unadulterated happiness, and it begins with me and my acceptance of the things I cannot change.

t

I wish a peaceful, prosperous year for all!

Another 5 star TDIPT Swap!

Us TDIPT gals are in the midst of our Christmas swap, and let me tell you.....we all have donned our drool rags as they are needed and how!

We decided on a secret swap, so none of us knew who was sending to us, and that has really added to the fun, excitement, and anticipation!
We all fill out a questionnaire, so that we can tailor the gifts to our recipients tastes.


I was so surprised and delighted when my box arrived yesterday, from none other than Mandy of FiddleStix studios! Woohoo, I felt like I hit the lottery!

As you can see, Mandy put a lot of thought and time into making sure everything was wrapped and packed so pretty, and I felt like a child on Christmas morning when I began to open the box of treasures.



Just look at all of the goodies she sent to me!

The angel soap is not only beautiful, it smells sooooooo good!

BUT.......I saved the best for last. Just look at the beautiful handmade she created just for me! I am so happy to be able to add this guy to my collection of Santas! I am thrilled and delighted.

Thank you Mandy!
