This is how I know he's my boyfriend. Look at how he looks at me. 😍

Shaun and I went to the local park this morning with Cub for some exercise and were greeted by these two sweet boys. Another person at the park told us that a lady in a van dumped them and called Animal Control.

We weren't planning to leave them at the park alone, of course. I had barely posted these guys to Facebook and Nextdoor, looked up the local rescue, and drafted an email offering to TEMP foster when Animal Control showed up. My mind was BLOWN because after dealing with animal services in Alabama - this is NEXT LEVEL. W.o.w. 

I'm going to edit my email and let the local rescue know that these cuties are now with Animal Control and ask about how both AC and the rescue works. I'm hoping someone can help these babies if they aren't already someone's pets. They looked very healthy and had collars on so I'm not sure what their backstory is, but hopefully they'll have a happy ending.

Also, one of the puppies was startled when the AC worker picked him up and yelped and Cubba LOST IT. He said they better be gentle with those babies! ❤️❤️❤️ He's the bestest boy!

Is this real life?!

THIRD INTERVIEW SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY.

🤩

The other day...

The other day I was struck by a very random memory of being SUPER young.... like 3 years old (if that) and in this memory I was crushing up Saltine crackers and trying to fill up my dad's belly button. I never could get it full, though.

This prompted me to poke my finger into Shaun's belly button... at which time I proclaimed "You have a shallow-ass belly button."

He, uh... He didn't quite know how to take that. 😂😂😂 But I'm 100% sure I could fill his belly button with crushed crackers in no time. Maybe even with just one Saltine. 🤔

We just gave Leon a shot.

We just gave Leon a shot. We are all SO grateful that next Saturday is his last one. We've been stabbing that boy nightly since April and he's honestly been the most unbelievably patient, wonderful kitty about it, but we know he especially is DONE.

Tonight he made a little fuss when we injected him and right after Shadow burst out laughing. We all looked at him like "What's funny?" and then he explained that that Leon's fussy meow sounded like he was falling off a cliff. He was absolutely right, too, and we all laughed after that.

We are all exhausted tonight and I am pretty sure that this is the least fun part of the day for all of us, but sometimes you just need to laugh. Leon always gets treats and wet food after his shot and of course lots of loving from Kira so I really hope he knows we don't enjoy hurting him. Poor little Gramson. He's a trooper, though.

Went on a walk this evening...

Went on a walk this evening and the sunset was STUNNING. These photos are not edited at all. Look at them enlarged, for real.

I spent yesterday celebrating...

I spent yesterday celebrating that I think the interview went well. I did that by buying cupcakes and going to the park, then having a movie night with Shaun and the kids. The rest of the day was spent trying to chill down to manage my stress level and hopefully avoid a let-down migraine.

I've been headache-y today so I've been chill and napped, but I'm ok. Now it's time to get back to work! I asked the interviewers if they had feedback for me and they said to keep working on my JavaScript (which I'd already begun doing in preparation for the interview / job), so I'm headed back to Codecademy to do just that. So far, so good!

I hope you all are having a lovely weekend. I'm hanging with the fam and making progress towards some goals, so no complaints here! ❤️
