What a meanie! Balthazar has claimed the Chupacabra's bed - along with her toy stash. He doesn't even care that she is upset. He went to sleep!
What a sad little Chupacabra. She doesn't know what to do now.

I was reminded today of how fabulous my ass is.
I was reminded today of how fabulous my ass is.
I sat down on a pile of laundry in my computer chair because as I mentioned before - it's been a crazy week. I stood up and had a sock in my ass crack. I can pick up things with my ass crack, y'all. 😳
And yes - I was wearing clothes. Pajama pants (and not just the little thin kind).
Never lose hope in life. You could realize a new talent when you least expect it.
So I've got the house to myself.
So I've got the house to myself. By that I mean: I am currently the only human here. Ahhh. 😃
Shaun and Shadow are headed to the McWane Center and possibly the zoo. I would normally be up for that, but there are other people involved so that's a deal-breaker. Not that I don't like the people. I do. It's not personal. I just need a day to myself - especially after working 9 days straight and slacking on my housework. I have to have the energy and focus to put myself around people like that and I just don't after this week. So I need to BE here. And DO things. And RELAX.
Kind of wish my girls lived closer to me. I know that Laurel and Emily would probably be up for hanging out on this kind of day. Just keeping me company while I cleaned and helping me dig through my roach bin and do lizard-y and other animal-y things. And they wouldn't judge me for not having done my dishes in a week. Not that I want anyone to see my house when it is less than clean, but I feel like we are close enough that it's ok.
Boo for the distance that keeps me from my homies. 🙁
On the flip side I am planning to accomplish a lot today so I'm not gonna dwell on that. I think it's time to get up and get moving. I need to go and get myself a coffee! 🙂

Friends - help me.
Friends - help me. I seriously have a dilemma. I am driving myself crazy with this.
So as you all probably know by now I have the Chupacabra here. (If you don't know who I'm referring to, check out my foster album and my videos.) She and her cat lived with one of my best friends for a while, but they came back due to just being incompatible with where they were.
I will admit that I missed them while they were gone, but I didn't pine over them or cry or anything. BUT, they were only 2 hours away and I knew I could see and check on them anytime.
Now a rescue has offered to post Chupa for me and they are probably her best chance at getting a good home. I have ZERO doubts that someone will want her because she's small and cute. BUT, they are up north so once she's gone this time - she's gone. While I might get some email and photo updates there will not be any visits or anything like that.
I have been really sad at the idea of splitting her and her cat up. They ABSOLUTELY love each other. They wrestle every day. Scar (Sorry Laurel - Shadow has changed it back) even goes in her crate and he's the only other creature who she allows in there with her.
NOT ONLY THAT, but I JUST LIKE HER SO MUCH. 😳
I am seriously considering keeping her. I usually don't have a problem with letting go. It hurts. Like hell most of the time - unless it's a dog that just doesn't mesh here - in which case I'm usually breathing a sigh of relief when they are adopted. I don't know what my problem is. I cried for days when the puppies I nursed were adopted, but I knew it was for the best. I do still miss them, (as I miss most of my foster kids periodically), but I just haven't been able to go through with fully committing Chupa to this rescue.
I have 6 permanent dogs already,so it's not like I NEED another one. But I just feel like she belongs here. I like her, and she's funny, and her cat is here, and she's not a lot of trouble.
I have never had a foster failure,besides Faith and Lowrider, but they were both in an extenuating circumstance and my back was to the wall so I don't really count them. While I love them and they are welcome here I never felt like I would have had that much trouble adopting either of them out had their person come for them. Out of the 30-ish dogs I've fostered those are the only two who have ended up here for the long haul and like I said: There was just a situation regarding them both.
I am just so torn right now. Another permanent dog means more food, more vet care, more time, more money. But I LIKE her! What do you think? And any of my rescue peeps - feel free to chime in and let me know if that has happened to you and how you handled it.

Shaun just bought me...
Shaun just bought me 3 pairs of boots. I think I'm good on shoes for the next 10 years. 😳
He's the sweetest. ❤
