All Dogs Go To…Camp!

06/06/11 | My Life

It occurred to me today that, I don’t need to have a long story in order to blog about it. It was a big DUH moment! I don’t always have time to write the way that I like but, I’m not writing a novel, right? So why not give you guys some snippets?

Like: I just went to scratch the middle of my head and winced. Why you ask? Well, I came home Saturday afternoon to a very rowdy and nutty dog. I had to chase him to get the leash on him so I could take him out. He was lying down and then suddenly jumped up. I moved to stand up right along with him except for the fact that he’d scooted right up to the door and when I stood up, there was a very permanent doorknob waiting for the middle of my head. I’m surprised I didn’t pass out. Lord knows I felt like it. I didn’t break the skin but it hurts like a mofo. I wonder how long it’s going to take for me to feel better. On Sunday, every time I walked on the tile, it felt like my head would throb along with my step.

I am wondering if I can find a summer camp for the dog. I feel like I need a break from him. People send their kids to camp so, why can’t I send Chico Mendes? He might get scared though and not do well in camp.

I looked over while typing this and he’s sleeping soundly on a pillow. And I suddenly remember why I’ve loved him all this time. He’s annoying and crazy but, he’s mine! I still wish that he could go though. Have you ever felt like sending your pet on an extended summer visit?

    my kids against my better judgement talked me into a cat…and yes I would love to send her off to camp ~obedience camp that is! I wonder can cats be trained. I have a picture of that silly call last Christmas hiding in the Christmas Tree. Oh the stories are endless.

    CUTE picture.

  • Sitting, praying, studying. And deeply understanding that this is how it has been. But I'm understanding that now more than ever, this is how it will always be. #MaferefunOya #IyawoChronicles
  • Do you know I have a slight #FunkoPop obsession? And @the_pop_lady is one of my faves! I've been living vicariously through her at @toyfair_ny.

I'm super happy that she got to go! Then! I see she has this  #ThePOPLadyGiveaway and I'm like OHHHHH! Let me bring this #FunkoGiveaway home! #putitintheuniverse
  • Who is going to this! I demand one of you does so I can live vicariously through you! And...GO!

  • #TBT to when I got my first taste of purple. Get ready because the purple might make a comeback in 2020. Ima need @crownpaint_colors to make a 20lb jar for me...lol 😁 #PurpleHair
  • The Frog Princess loves crystals. She's had the 2 hearts tucked under her pillow these last 2 days she's been under the weather.  I'd been holding on to the hematite for a minute and just gave it to her.

Whenever I used to travel west, I would find crystal hearts at the airports. It became a thing for a while. Since then, we've upgraded to our crystal dealer, @homegirlporvida. I've tasked baby girl with taking inventory of her crystals while she is home with the flu to give us something fun and creative to focus on. Here's hoping for a super speedy recovery. #putitintheuniverse #FrogPrincess #MagicalGirl
  • This is not a drill! Baby girl has the flu. 😷

Time to grab chicken soup ingredients, more honey for my aloe concoction, ice cream for my immune system and the Tamiflu script. 🎶Just another day, living I'm the 'hood. Just another day around the way.🎵 #Mamihood
