Gina's Ramblings

My Younger GSD was adopted by us through a rescue. They did a courtesy listing of the dog. The family that had him did NOT disclose everything. He was quite food and treat agressive (among other things too numerous to mention). We have worked with him over the past year and I thought we had made excellent progress. Well he bit my oldest a few weeks ago when he was just walking by him no instigating no warning nothing. He got him pretty bad broke he skin etc. Since then we have had the dog between the backyard, in for dinner and water and crated at night, keeping him away from the kids.
I have to find him a new home ASAP. The problem? Since I am honest the rescue will not take him because he has bitten, the shelter won't take him either for the same reason. I will not let a family with kids take him (He is fine around adults and submissive). I will not dupe a family like the ones we got him from did. I do not want to have to have him put down either! But it is not looking good. The options for a dog who has bitten are slim.

No matter how you came about being a mother. If they are your birth, adopted, foster or fur babies...or heck even a signifigant other who acts like a child.... haha HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

My oldest has had some more problems. He is getting some help now. But I tell you missing him on mother's Day is TOUGH.
He will be home soon though we hope.

The man made my day today from on the other side of the globe!! I am in the midst of spring cleaning. this year it is more of a spring purge rather than a clean :)
So I am going through every toy and finding new homes for honestly about 3/4 of the toys. They still have plenty of toys. But when your house gets overrun... it is time to unload and feel free.
ANYWAY back to the love of my life. The UPS man (no HE isn't the love of my life hehe) comes today bearing gifts. From the other side of the globe my husband made me smile. He sent me a mini rose bush for mothers day!! It is so cute! The card he sent made me cry. I won't get into all of what he wrote but the one part where he thanked me for 'reminding him what was important in life'. Yeah it is hard to read the remainder of the card when you have tears in your eyes.

The woman who is officially 1/4 through this deployment.....yup ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am watching Carrier on PBS. Probably not a great idea with DH deployed right? Yeah I have bawled like a baby at several points. The people miss their spouses... I bawled. The man whose wife lost a baby while they were gone....we have been through the same thing. I bawled. the man crying over missing his childs birth...I bawled. when he said I am meeting my child for the first time, I hope he likes me (paraphrasing there)...I bawled.
All in all I liked the series. Though I DID get angry at the one pregnant girlfriend and her treatment of her boyfriend I wanted to flick the girl in the forehead.
OK off to watch the homecoming.... and bawl!
