Tonight when I was at the dog park with Jack I witnessed just how resourceful that dog can be when he REALLY wants something. I watched him race full force at this random little black dog, who was laying on the ground, minding his own business. All of a sudden Jack takes a flying leap, lands on his back, and uses him as a springboard to jump on another unsuspecting dog - so as to hump him! So awkward!!! I had to withstand the stares of the other dog owners as I attempted to 'break it up' but Jack was pretty fixated and required being picked up and moved to another part of the park. This would not have happened if I had invested in a goldfish!

True, but a goldfish doesn't run and greet you at the door, his tail wagging so much that his entire body is moving because he's so excited and happy to see you! And the best part is it doesn't matter if you've been gone for 5 minutes or the whole day. Nothing beats that, Meggs. Not to mention the entertainment value of watching Mr. Humpy Humps-a-Lot springboard onto his latest conquest! Who else can say their dog does that? AND that he figured it out on his own! ;)
I'm a 30 something year old living in Vegas and wondering when I'll get used to the summers. I love to travel, be with friends, and be outside with my dog, Jack. Life is good. No complaints here.
"Don't ever be afraid to let yourself go. Dream high. Shoot for the moon. If you miss it, reach out and grab a star."
"Be the change you want to see in the world" - Ghandi
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
"Perhaps all the questions we ask of love, to measure, test, probe, and save it, have the additional effect of cutting it short. Perhaps the reason we are unable to love is that we yearn to be loved, that is, we demand something (love) from our partner instead of delivering ourselves to them demand-free and asking for nothing but their company." -Milan Kundera 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'.....I'd also like to give a shout out to Brooke Hart for introducing me to this quote.
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
1. The gospel doesn't make our lives perfect, but it gives us a perfect perspective
2. We don't necessarily have to change friends when we realize and accept that our friends are going to change
3. Things are usually better in the morning, but sometimes they're better the very same day with the right people in your life
4. There are certain things that I shouldn't have to, and won't put up with
5. There are a thousand reasons to be happy every day
6. Your trials may not appear as significant as someone else's, but they're still yours, so don't feel like you have to make them insignificant
7. I can get through anything with the support of family and friends that love me and want nothing but good things for me
8. The world is full of endless possibilities for adventures and joy
9. God knows me - and loves me - and is my greatest advocate in this world
10. You should never take advantage of a meaningful friendship, of a good dessert, of the little things that make you smile, of the positive effects of others around you, of simple comforts, and of the blessings in your life on a daily basis

You didn't happen to pick your dog up on the mission did you? He sounds like many that I saw walking the streets in Chile :)
Hee hee! Maybe you'd better sit down and have a little talk with Jack about PDAs. You have to be a responsible parent.
