Nice title if I don’t say so myself.

I am kind of stuck though since my back has been out of sorts.  Nine injections of concentrated liquid Ibuproferen then another six injections with the previous mentioned medicine plus cortisone has me pretty sore and more than a little cranky.

I haven’t walked any dogs except Giles in a couple of weeks.  But hopes are high for a bounce back.  I really want to get back out there, or rather, get my back back out there.  I just need to see a few hundred more doctors and get the right combination of care.  Then I’ll walk circles around those pups!

Adam and I have been trying to get into the dog adoption circle, but man is it hard!  We know exactly what we’re looking for and we’re fantastic pet owners (opinion-yes, fact-yes), but we keep getting over looked or passed on because we don’t have a private fenced in yard.  Not yet anyway.  We’re saving for a house with a big old yard for the dogs to play in, but money doesn’t grow on trees and the housing market is a disaster!

We went to meet a dog named Miley on Saturday the 22nd.  Miley is an 8 mo. old possible Sheltie/Mini Aussie Shepherd mix, weighs apprx. 25 lbs. and is sweet as can be.  She and Mr. Giles got along great!  Miley’s foster mom was very nice and very informative.  I felt that we had a great interview, us asking all the right questions and her answering at length.  Here’s hoping that we get our girl.

Our hopeful new family member, Miley.

Isn’t she just the most adorable little girl?!

Of course our decision is not based on looks, but my goodness she’s so cute!  When her and Giles were sitting side by side at the Petco, behaving and looking up at me, my heart just melted.  I think she’s a perfect fit!

Our hopes are high, but if Miley goes to another home I’m not going to be too upset.  I know that the adoption agencies have the animal’s best interest at heart.
