Been a while.

1.) I have a house. Been in it about a month.
2.) had 5 puppies, had a scare w/ trying to find a home for 2 of them..almost resulted in the police being called..but turned out to be a misunderstanding...
3.) trying to get Mikayla to come out of her shell and working w/ her.
4.) owning a house and keeping it clean is tougher than it looks...lol...groceries constantly need restocked...lol
5.)I'm single again...

I broke it off w/ Travis for a few different reasons. One being that he just wasn't making me happy anymore. I didn't speak up against it as much as I should have..b/c i have issues w/ that..but oh well. Another reason is we're exact opposites and that bothers me...I can't see myself spending the rest of my life w/ an exact opposite..so why drag it on?
He has some growing up to do, and I need someone w/ a little less growing up to do...(every man has some, I'm aware of this)
Plus, I found out a guy at work was interested in me, and after some thinking and talking to him, I discovered I was a little interested as well..which..if things were the way their supposed to be w/ Travis, I don't think i'd have cared that someone was interested, i'd have just gotten a kick out of it and been done.
So even though I feel bad, and am having some remorse issues b/c I hate being alone..I know it was the right thing to do. I hate that I hurt him though...I hate hurting people...but sometimes you can't help it...

My house is inside the city limits, a new thing for me...I can hear sirens almost every night...even tho i sit off the main road a little ways. YOu can hear pretty much everything in that house unless I have noise going...drives me crazy. I've gotten semi used to living alone. Not fully liking it still, but no one's really responded to my add for a roommate...
But I only have to fill up my tank once per paycheck, (once every 2 weeks) b/c I only live like 10 min or less from work. It's nice. I have a pretty good size yard that I'm planning on fencing in so that Mikayla and any other dog I happen to get has room to run. Right now there's just room enough for her to use the bathroom...and I admit to not keeping it as clean as I should...
Getting everything for the house is leaving me broke most of the time. Or leaving me feeling broke anyway. I dont have as much extra left over as I used to...
Oh well.

Mikayla is starting to open up a little. She's to the point that she's excited whenever I get home and jumps around like a maniac for like 5-10 min. THen she just lays down either in front of the end table or under the table in the sun room. If someone comes over she usually stays under the table and wont' come out. I wonder if she's been abused sometimes. I'm going to try to take her w/ me more places and get her socialized more...in hopes that it helps a little.
I will say one thing, having raised her litter of pups has broken me of ever wanting to breed dogs or raise a litter again...(unless a rescue calls for it again).
That's hard work...let me tell ya!

One of the puppies was deaf...but he found a good home, he went w/ his brother and they're enjoying him so far, with the notion that if for any reason he doesnt work out, to bring him back. I hope he works for them, he's a cool little dog.

I think that's enough of an update for now...lol

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
