Tonight we went and looked at a 1 yr. old Australian shepherd mix but she was just too fearful to take home. Now it looks like our new dog will be the 7 week old purebred Australian shepherd puppy with one brown eye and one blue eye that we are going to see tomorrow night. Her picture was adorable and her owner says she has a wonderful personality. She is the last left of 15 puppies but I think it is because she has two different colored eyes which we think is adorable. Her owner gave her a bath and clipped her nails tonight so she should be beautiful for us to see tomorrow evening. We have to drive an hour and a half to get her but it is definitely worth it to get the kind of dog we want. We decided on an Australian shepherd because of their size, temperament, they are good with other animals and are reasonably good guard dogs. Plus we love the way they look. She will need grooming though unlike our lab/Chow mix.
It will be a lot of work but will be very rewarding. I have a schedule worked out already for feeding and walking and going outside. We are going to get a new collar tomorrow before we get her. We may get a puppy playpen for her to keep her out of trouble. We are going to crate train her and let her sleep by our bed. We have a new vet at an animal hospital just built near our house picked out for her. I've been reading books about puppies for a week to get information about being a puppy owner since it has been such a long time since we had a puppy.
I should have worked out today but I didn't. I was up until 5am because I was excited about getting a dog and I had too much caffeine yesterday. So I got up around 12:30. Then I worked on the house to get it ready for the puppy. I heard from the circuit court clerk and I don't have to do jury duty until Feb. 1st. I have my bone scan on Monday. I am still not using my crutches because I keep falling over when I try to use them. My foot still hurts a bit but it is much better than it was.
My food however has been terrible. As always I haven't had enough veggies. I am just way too bored with eating a salad every day so I have skipped it a couple of times. I ate tacos from Taco Bell again today not the most wonderful choice. I just have to buckle down and learn to cook a few things so I can have some variety.
My meeting was good last night. It was on gratitude and I enjoyed seeing my best friend who had been out of town for two weeks in Europe.
I guess I'll go now and try to eat a salad.

I did my 4 circuits of Jillian Michaels although I didn't feel like it. I have been bad about not using my crutches. Today my doctor said she would send an excuse to the jury re: my crutches and jury duty.
We have been looking at ads and talking all night about getting a new dog. We probably want a collie mix or an Australian shepherd mix or a purebred. They are protective, good with other animals, and not too big. They would require extra grooming however. We found a collie/husky mix on the internet. It is 6 month old and already housebroken. The landlord made them get a home for it. I hope it is still available. It is a really cute dog. It would be free.
I went off my normal meals a bit tonight. I ate two ground beef flautas at the Mexican restaurant. The tortilla shells looked about the size of taco shells so I think it was an OK choice and it was something new.
I still need to eat my veggies in a salad.
Tomorrow is my AA mtg. day. I am going to my mtg. and dinner in the evening and I am going to try to get back to my disciplines early in the day. I have been slacking off on everything lately. I have been a bit down about my dog and not very motivated but I am working on that.
I talked about my dog in therapy today and my therapist thought getting another pet would be a good idea. Of course it won't take Shadow's place but it will give me someone new to love and that is always good.
Today is my youngest daughter's 20th birthday - I am feeling older by the minute. She is no longer a teenager.

My stomach is hurting. I need to not eat sunflower seeds with Diet Dr. Peppers. It always makes my stomach hurt. Other than that I am OK.
I did 4 circuits of my Jillian Michaels DVD today which was great. It helps to know I can do some exercises.
We were talking tonight about getting another dog in a month or two. I still feel sad about Shadow but I am not in terrible pain every day now. I know another dog won't ever replace Shadow but we like having a dog around the house. We might get a young dog instead of a puppy. It might mean we wouldn't have to housebreak a dog but an older dog might have other bad habits. We thought it might be harder for an older dog to get adopted too so we would more likely be saving a dog's life if we got an older dog. We want a shepherd mix or a lab mix or a collie mix or a setter mix or a cocker spaniel. Well the truth is we will take any kind of dog that we fall in love with.
I am still thinking about going to my daughter's house in Nov. to see her and my grandsons. I never get to see them enough. They live in Bremerton WA. I also have to be sure I won't still be on crutches.
Today was my weigh in day and although I was tempted to skip it because of my Bloomin Onion escapade I decided to weigh in. I was 191.2 so I am almost in the 180's now. I lost 2.2 lb. which was great considering I have not been exercising much and I have been eating 30 carbs a day. I may cut my carbs though to be sure I get under 190 this week. I can't believe I am almost in the 180's - another great milestone! I need to buy some new jeans. I think I can fit into 16's now.

I was awful tonight. I ate half of a Boomin Onion at Outback Syeakhouse tonight. What I really wanted to eat was chocolate Ding Dongs and all the chips I could eat at Chilis. I hope I don't get terrible cravings now. I am going to eat cottage cheese without the strawberries for dinner since I ate all those carbs at Outback. I weigh in 2 days too. I think I will flush water and try to eat 20 carbs a day for the next two days to try to undo some of the damage I did tonight. I also ate too many sunflower seeds today.
There is no good reason to eat. My excuse was that the neurologist had no idea what was wrong with my husband today and I was totally frustrated about it. The good news was that his evoked potential and EEG were normal so the neurologist said he didn't think he has MS. He did a blood test - I don't know why although he mentioned something about mysthenia gravis. He also gave my husband a prescription that will help him metabolize B12.
I am very relieved that it seems like he doesn't have MS but it is very frustrating that no one can figure out what is wrong. I feel like he is a patient on Mystery Diagnosis. I don't know how we can find out what is wrong with him. He goes back to his family doctor I think on the 29th.
I didn't do any exercises today. I will try to do the 4 Jillian Michael's circuits tomorrow.
My foot is kind of hurting tonight. I should have worn my boot and used the crutches today but I didn't want to mess with them at the neurologist so I walked in there normally. Now I'm paying for it.
My house is a mess but with my foot messed up I probably shouldn't be up and about too much. I am doing OK with my spiritual disciplines but I still need to pray every morning and evening. I had to cancel my confession appt. because I didn't want to hobble in there on crutches but I'll need to remake it at some point.
I am going to set my alarm tomorrow so I get up earlier and get more done tomorrow. I have been sleeping in too much lately.
I am going to go try to catch up on my buddies journals now.
