Etsy!

I find myself loving Etsy more and more each day.  I purchased myself a nice new address stamp not only because of the cuteness factor, but also to help my books and movies I lend out easier to find their way back home.
What do you think?

My Puppies!

Well, it should come as no surprise that I have three dogs and I love them very much.
Although I have no human children, I feel that I am satisfied with pouring all of my love into my pups.
Thunder was our first dog, he is 7 years old.  He found us in late August of 2004.  One morning he found himself in our yard and decided to take a snooze under one of our trees.  At the time he was only about 5 months old.  After much debate, I took him to the humane society where he was held for seven days.  After the seven days passed, I had the opportunity to adopt him...which I did. 

Faolin was our second dog, she is 7 years old as well.  After having Thunder for over a year, we decided Thunder should have a pack-mate.  After doing some resesarch, I found the rescue organization Adopt A Husky and began the application process.  Within a few weeks, we came home with a little girl to add to our family.  Given her beautiful red hair, I thought an Irish name would suit her well...especially given my Irish heritage.  Her name, Faolin, means red wolf in Gaelic.  After having her now for a number of years, I find that the Irish name is appropriate for so many reasons-primarily because she has an "Irish temper".  :)

And, last but not least...I'll introduce you to Diesel.  Unlike Thunder and Faolin, Diesel came to us at a mere 5 weeks old.  A friend of mine has two huskies, who were bred, and produced a litter of puppies.  We knew if we were to add a third dog, it would need to be a male because Faolin has a very dominant female personality.  When the puppies were born all of them were female except one!  That made our decision for us, and Diesel became part of our family a few weeks later.  He is a sweet boy, but full of energy.  He's quite a goof ball.
