5.2.11 Adam News & Information

It has been a crazy weekend. My weekend also took an interesting turn, not nearly so dramatic as others, but vaguely Adam related.

6 weeks ago, I had to put my very very old, very much ready to go, dog Rascal, down.
He was a good guy, 14 years old, and it was time. I have missed him and I have missed having my own dog. We have two other dogs, my partner's red aussie, and my daughters's terrier mutt. I love them, but they are not MY dogs. But I thought, OK, I don't need my OWN dog, I'll just love on these guys. I mean, three dogs is a lot, and I am busy!

So Friday after work, I needed make-up and headed over to Ulta, right next to the PetSmart. And there were the AustinPetsAlive! folks with dogs for adoption. And right up front was a 12 week, very bright eyed little black and tan heeler mix. Very smart. I found out she was born on Feb 2nd, Imbolc, if you're pagan, and this weekend is Beltaine, my favorite pagan holiday. I spent about a 45 minutes pondering this dilemma, interacting with her and wondering if I was crazy.

Then I went to Ulta and took my time at the Urban Decay section, picked out some lovely eyeshadows and went to check out. That's when I noticed the music. Kesha singing on about Tic Toc on the clock, the party never stops....And then I heard the beginnings notes of "If I Had You" and I knew where this decision was headed. It's all about the LOVE, right? And Adam always seems to pop in and just the right moments in my life.

I did try to be smart about it all. Called my partner who said "Who am I to get between a woman and her dog?" I went home and slept on it. And I came back the next day and scooped her up.

Her name is Lilith and she's pretty awesome.

And I send my thoughts and prayers to all you Atopians who have been the path of severe weather. Be strong, be safe!! May you have what you need!!
