My Dog, My Best Friend, My Baby

Well I have officially become one of "those people" who along with signing her name and her husbands name to birthday cards, invitations, and Christmas cards...signs her dogs name. I have joined the club. I am also one of "those people" who puts my dog in the family portrait. The family being my hubby and me. Bentley (my dog) ...(I actually thought of his name on our honeymoon while we were walking past a Bentley)...has brought me nothing but joy.
Although I love working from home, sometimes I go crazy just being alone all day with no one really to chat with. Well not anymore...most of the day Bentley can be found sleeping next to my desk while I sew. We go for walks, we rest together, and of course we have treat time. We share apples, carrots, cantaloupe, and he loves honeydew. I brush his teeth, clip his nails, and am beginning to make my own dog treats.
He really has made me rethink kids...I mean he will never really have "terrible twos"...he just wants to play! Although we did go through potty training...it really wasn't that bad...except for an incident on Valentines day! He will never tell me he hates me for making him be home by 10:00 and for telling him what to do. He doesn't text while I am trying to talk to him. He will never leave me to go away for college or move away. He has no problem cuddling with me at least once a day. He sits by the window and waits for me to pass by the house as I run around the block. He just loves me and looks at me with those puppy eyes and I want to give him everything. I pray he will be around for a long time.

Here I am

That's me in the picture on the left... My parent's first daughter..still in the womb

My first blog...I am going to think about it as a diary. When I was younger, diaries were a big deal. All of my friends had a diary and although diaries are "personal" we all prided ourselves on becoming bff by reading each others diaries. I am just happy that this has spell check, I am horrible with punctuation, and: speeling!

So here I am blogging in 2009, about 25 years here on Earth and I am ready to talk about it. How did I go from playing Barbies everyday and not having a care in the world...well except a fear of death...but we will discuss that later, to a house payment and bills in a horrible economy, a husband, and trying to expand my business. That is what I intend on discussing in my "blog" as well as some current events in my life.

After all I am just a daughter, and chances are...you are too! For the most part we all started off the same with a mom and dad, but look at the different routes we all took to get where we are today. I will be talking about my route... the good, the bad, and the really bad.
