New pets Posted Thursday, November 20, 2008, 10:49 AM, CST by Dawn We went to the PTSO fall carnival this last weekend. The girls won 3 goldfish. So we have them in a fishbowl on the counter. We also got a new dog. A Shi-tzu that we named Ginger. She is a 1 year old female. She is a great dog. Hank says we should have gotten a Shitzu in the first place. We think she may be pregnant. The people we got her from said she wasn�t so we thought maybe she is just going into heat. We plan on spaying her ASAP. We NEVER leave our pets unsprayed or un-neutered. Well anyway she hasn�t started bleeding yet so we think she is in the family way. I will make her a vet appointment. We are keeping her even if she is expecting. She is too great of a dog to give up, well so far anyway. She does have a people food addiction. I guess her previous owners let her eat table food. We don�t but she will sneak it sometimes. She ate my Jumbo Jack cheese burger last night. I left it on the computer desk unattended for a few minutes. She got into trouble and a new nickname, the Hamburgeler. We are thinking of turning most of our garage into a family room. It is a big unused space. We may get some large wardrobes from Ikea and use them as room dividers. I think we could put down office type carpet or even Astroturf. I am trying to talk Hank into painting the walls also. We shall see. This house doesn�t have enough living space. I have heard of others doing temporary rooms in the garage. We are feeling better. We have moved on to a new cold. We have finished most of our Christmas shopping. We tried a new Chinese restaurant a couple nights ago. It is called The Golden Wok. It got good reviews online. Well the people online were to kind. It wasn�t bad, it was just unimpressive. It tasted cheap and plain. We haven�t found any good Chinese food since moving to Texas though we haven�t looked all that much. We always have a good Chinese restaurant. The one in Guam was awesome. Ashlyn says that she wants to be a singer and dancer and move to New York when she grows up. I told her that it didn�t surprise me. Ashlyn had the stomach flu at the beginning of the week. She was getting ready for school and she yells downstairs to me �MOM I PUKED IN MY BED!� She recovered within the day. Alyssa her has first choir performance on December 2nd. The elementary choir is singing at the base Christmas tree lighting. She is excited. Well I am off to get lunch and do laundry. Love you a
