But, one just wasn't enough. :P
(Keisha - the dog we've had for just over 9 years)My mom and I went to the Humane Society and the Animal Control a couple times, and only saw one or two dogs that we liked. They don't have many small dogs at the shelters. Most of them get snatched up pretty quickly. I think small dogs are much more adoptable than large dogs. Did you know the humane society in Toronto has over 150 dogs, and the majority of them are pitbulls?
This one little boy that we brought home is about a year old, and also a Lhasa Apso, but very obviously crossed with some other breed. I think he's part Beagle. He digs holes in the garden, chews bones, barks like a hound and has a long body and a long, straight tail (most Lhasas have curly tails). We named him Benson. He's very cute, playful and cuddly, but has lots of accidents on our carpet.
My title of three "news" does not refer just to Benson. He is like a new toy, and he definitely brings more responsibility to this household (sort of like a new baby? You love it, and cuddle it, and kiss it, but then it pees on your floor? I dunno.)
My new toy is actually more appropriately referring to my new Ipod!! I had been debating over it for about a year, and had been on the apple website plenty of times, picking out colour and style and deciding whether or not I wanted the free engraving. I thought I "needed" a nano, and at least 4Gb. I have a lot of music on my computer that I would like to have accessible to me at any time. I liked the pink or the green, but then they came out with the special edition red. Hmmm... well anyways, I saw a red 8gb on Ebay and randomly bid on it, not expecting anything. I won, :D and received it shortly after. My new toy is serving me well.
My newest responsibility is my new (second) job. I like the job that I have waitressing at the Diamond.... but...
I hate not being busy.
I want to make money this summer.
I was working 25 hours a week.
I don't have anything else good to do with my time.
So, I looked in the Oshawa newspaper classfieds, and applied to a few things. I got a couple replies, and took a job serving breakfast in a factory cafeteria three days a week. I wake up at 5 am and work a couple hours, then go home and if I don't have to work it feels great to have accomplished something before most people even get out of bed. If I have to work at the Diamond the same day, I drop off some stuff at home before heading out to work at 11 or 12. Good thing the uniform is the same!
*Phew* It's a little tiring, but it'll only be for another 4 weeks. Then I'll be back in Montreal. :)
