why would today be any different

I was actually fooled by the early morning sun in to thinking that today the rainclouds were finally going to go away.

I was wrong.

At least I got to meet the new greyhounds today.  I like all of them, especially Sergeant  and Sapper.  They both just walked right over to me and leaned against my legs.  No sniffing, no nothing, just, "give me pets please".

I like Cadence but as the only girl she's definitely a DIVA.  Her fur is also ridiculously soft and her eyes are like gentle deer eyes.  So basically I'm jealous of her and we could never be real friends, but I think we'll have a nice frenemy situation going on.

My time with Hero X was cut short because of an errand that needed to be run but I like him too.  He makes funny faces and barely payed any attention to me.

I was too focused on the meet and greet so I didn't take any pictures, but I did take one on  the way out of one of my favorite boarders at Daniel's place:

I love that Daniel has pictures all over the lobby of all his boarders, especially now that I'm getting to know them.  Gucci is so funny, I love him.  : (

I wish I could have stayed and played with the doggies a little longer but Daniel needed my assistance with his errand.  It's good I did too, otherwise I would have never seen this:

I rarely covet something as much as I covet this file.  And he leaves it so nonchalantly on his dashboard.  I had half a mind to smash his window and swipe, what could only be, the pandora's box of manilla folders.

I let the opportunity go this time but now that I know it's out there the "answers" folder is going to be my white whale.

I came home from my doggy adventure with the intention of getting some things done.  Instead I started petting the detective and ended up falling asleep on the couch all afternoon.

So all in all it was a day well spent.

lunch with Doc

I am broke in part because of encouragement from Daniel to buy those sunglasses on sale last week, so he graciously took me out to lunch today.  The good part was that he brought Doc along, the bad part is that it's the last time I will get to spend the day with him as he will be going to his new home permanently in the next couple days.

I am going to miss him : (

Haha!  I like how he's funny and nice : (

The only thing that makes it ok is knowing that he will be well loved and appreciated in his new home, and that he will be helping somebody who needs him.  Still, I'm going to miss that face.

now THESE are Christmas cards

About a week ago Daniel and I had plans to take one of the dogs to the mall.  The morning of he texted me and said, "Wear a green shirt, we're going to take a picture with Santa".

Today we finally got to take the second one.

Haha, those pictures make me happy.

two nice guys

About a week ago I was out visiting Brendan at work which is when I met Daniel and Doc.  Doc is the nice guy under my right arm in that picture, the other handsome guy is Gunner.

I actually didn't even notice Doc at first, but when I did I admit I was one of those terrible people that had to pet him and give him attention even though he was wearing his service dog vest.  I couldn't resist!  I hope that Daniel has forgiven me by now because since meeting him and finding out what he was doing I have actually started volunteering with him.

You should check it out here, there's lots of good information about the organization, and pictures!  For any of you who know about my history you'll understand why this is a weirdly perfect fit for me.

So yeah, I'm looking forward to updating you guys on how those handsome guys are doing, and hopefully posting about more new recruits to come.  In the meantime, here's my favorite picture of them I found on their facebook page:
