A little sad and a little glad





I feel like this weekend has been filled with bad news....It all started with when I went to the gym. I got there a little late, so I had to rush my normal 45 minute routine into 30 minutes. Not so much fun. As I got on the treadmill I saw the headlines on the TV: John Edwards admits affair. CRAP! Not good for the dems and his political career is now over. He and his wife aren't the Clintons and they're not going to fight this like they should. Then I go to PetSmart to pick up a gift for my friend's dog's birthday party. I ran into a girl who bought a husky from our breeders. I asked how Pepper (her dog) was and she went into this long story about how she gave her away. "Too much work. She wanted my attention all the time. It was like having a child." I wanted to cry as I heard her story. I wanted to slap her across the face and say, "WTF did you think having a dog would be like?" Then I went home and as I let the dogs out, I noticed they had chewed up part of the linoleum in our kitchen. Not cool. Not cool at all. I'm hoping our renter's insurance will cover it when we move out. Luckily, we're not buying a house anytime soon so we're good until we move out.

Today, I woke up pretty late and as I checked MSNBC, I saw that Bernie Mac died. He was only 50 years old. I really liked him as a comedian and even though his TV show was cheesy, I enjoyed watching it. He will be missed.

On a brighter note, the dogs had a great weekend. Last night we started it off by attending Murphy's birthday party. I'm not sure what type of dog Murphy is, but she is adorable. Murphy's mom works with me at Apollo and we co-sponsor NJHS.

Today we met up with Murad's mentor Danny at the dog park. He just got a four month old Chihuaua/Rat Terrier mix named Trey. He is so adorable. Abby loved playing with him. We also ended up seeing Sam and Maya's old friends Diamond & Ace. We hadn't seem them since Sam & Maya were puppies. I'll post some pics from Murphy's party and the dog park.
