Ch-ch-ch-changes

So many changes going on here!

Sunshine lost another tooth today---#2. Swallowed during dinner. From what I understand, this is a common occupational hazard for the Tooth Fairy & she will shell out $$ for the tooth.

Hunter starts Terminal Leave from the Army next week. SO surreal! We spent a couple hours in a Retirement Services briefing yesterday to learn about various benefits & the like.

And we adopted a dog on Sunday! I know I shouldn't be allowed in Petsmart on the weekends b/c I feel SO bad for the dogs who look at you, BEGGING to be taken home with you. We had started talking about getting a 2nd dog & looking online at Schnauzer rescues, puppies, etc. Well, it started so innocently. I went to Michael's to get some ribbon for Sunshine's hair (it's finally long enough to pull back & put a ribbon). Next thing I knew, I was walking around Petsmart, looking & petting. When I got to the back of the store, this rescue was starting to unload dogs. One was a black Schnauzer mix. He looked so sweet. When I went to pet him he started wagging his tail & looking at me with those big brown eyes. I texted Hunter to see what he thought & was told "just say NO!" Did I? NO! I called him & asked if he & Sunshine would come down to check out this adorable boy. Next thing I knew, we were picking up a new crate for him, a toy for his crate, a new leash & food/water bowls.

Libby is beside herself. She is very stand-offish to begin with & isn't interested in other dogs. I've been told that she loves me, likes Hunter & tolerates Sunshine. She's warmed up a little bit, but there isn't any playing or grooming going on yet.

I'm still working on my Mara shawl (*coughcough Ravelympics project *coughcough) but yet again, Facebook & Farmville seem to be eating into my knitting time.
