What if you acted like this at meal time....

Haven't cried about Shaggy today, so I'm on an uphill climb. I still wake up in the middle of the night thinking about how I saw her all stretched out thrown in the corner on the floor- but no more tears. She doesn't have a spirit, I keep telling myself that. Some times silly people like myself place paternal longings on our pets. We did this with Lex and subconciously I did it with Shaggy. I usually tried to pass her off as "Thomas's dog" since I never wanted another mouth to feed to begin with. Thomas is the only reason we had her. But for some crazy reason she loved me. She would lay outside the kitchen window just to watch me do dishes. She greeted me every morning when I opened the door to leave for morning runs. If I stayed on the outside of the gate longer than a couple minutes she would freak out wanting me to come in. In the mornings I go to the tiny house next to ours to do my quiet time- She'd lead the way knowing exactly where I was headed. Since she had a lil' flea problem I wouldn't let her come in, but she didn't care. She stayed right outside the door and wait till I finished. Alright, enough of that, back to what this post is really supposed to be about: ELEPHANTS!

Wanted to share this with you all. I think it's really funny, myself. There is an elephant orphanage about 15 minutes from our house and I was able to go a few weeks back for the first time It was really cute, fun, neat and all that, but I still can't quite understand why people would choose to spend tons of money on adopting animals. I can't even tell you how much they spend on this special milk formula every feeding. But that's just me. I mean I did take my dog to get spayed at the Kenya Society for the Protection and Care of Animals just so I could pay half the price of having it done at the vet- ONLY so they could kill my dog. Then I asked for my money back. I'm probably a sick individual, I'm sure of it. Any way, my friends and I have something up our sleeves I will soon share with you about protecting and saving REAL children.

Watch the video. i mean, it's still cute.

Random pics of my niece and nephew for your viewing pleasure, b/c I just think they are so darn cute... and I might miss em' a bit.
