Godless Mom in the Bible Belt

Yesterday was Echo's 15th birthday. Echo is my little white poodle mutt. I love her dearly! She is blind, deaf and arthritic but the tail still wags, she still loves to cuddle and her overall health is very good. She is such a wonderful being!

I've also been approved as an adoptive home for the sheltie pups, so I will be driving to Beebe, Arkansas to pick them up tomorrow! Beebe is just a bit north-east of Little Rock, about a 10-11 hour drive from Houston (I'm glad I have my Civic...Gas prices being what they are!) so I will be out of the loop for a couple of days. I'll be adopting a little girl and a little boy, they are nine weeks old. These are the pups that Liz will grow up with, the ones who she will share her childhood with. I'm so looking forward to watching their relationship develop. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a chance!

It will also be interesting watching the pups around Stuey, my cat. He is a really cool, laid-back animal. I'm sure he'll take the whole thing in stride and will eventually develop a great friendship with the new little ones but the first couple of weeks ought to be interesting.

By the way, fellow Houstonians...What a game, huh? Yeah Astros!

I'll be back on Thursday after I get home from Arkansas.
