@Ready4thePartyall of those pups are actually from the same mom, who looks like some sort of pit mix (director thinks there were multiple dads, which I didn't know was a thing!). If that one doesn't work out, we'll look at the others or at some of the older dogs at the same rescue most likely. We actually own a pit/boxer mix already and there are no breed restrictions in our area at all, thankfully.
There are two routes from my office to the kitchen at work, and I'm up a half dozen times a day to get coffee or a glass of water or to make lunch or grab one of my snacks or whatever. Usually I take Route A, but lately I've been taking Route B because it takes me past fewer people and I've been soooooo gassy. Route B takes me past the giant corner cubicle that belongs to the strategic marketing group, but the guy who used to sit there has been gone for a few months now and there's nobody else around so I've been totally letting it rip over there, loud and proud all week long.
Guess who just found out that they hired somebody for that position, and whose first day was Monday? My only comfort is that the same cubicle wall that prevents me from seeing in prevents him from seeing out, so he probably has no idea that I'm the one responsible. I've totally been crop-dusting the hell out of the new hire.
DH called this morning to see about going out to eat with his co-workers instead of coming home. I'm kinda really excited that he's not coming home because it means I can nap for all of DDs nap instead of staying awake to hang out with him while he eats.
I am sick of having to pay $5 to wear jeans on Fridays at work because I don't really fit in a school shirt anymore, especially after my principal told me it wasn't her fault I didn't fit in them anymore (I had to bite my tongue on that one). So today, I squeezed into one just to prove a point! Going to use the $2 I saved to get something sweet out of the vending machine this afternoon. It's totally stupid, but I feel better about my life today because of it!
Maybe my FFFC is that our work has $1 wear jeans on Friday that also goes to charity, but that since I'm not in the main office I wear jeans every Friday and don't pay the $1. Oops!
I know a lot of people who do this for our $1 Thursdays. Our Fridays we can wear jeans for free.
So I had a heads up that I was getting an evaluation today. On a whim, I randomly decided to clear the history from my computer for the entire year (I haven't cleared it ever, and I've been using this computer since August). Good thing too...apparently the wifi is out in my room, so they had to use my computer to do my write up. Probably would have been a bad thing for them to see my most visited site is TB...

Weird. I had heard it could be a thing but have never seen it happen. Kudos to you on the ban restriction. When we adopted our pit the restriction had gone through shortly after. None of the pups under a year were grandfathered in and the county threatened to take any pits and kill them. Thankfully they never did but it was scary and I would hate to see anyone else go through that.

That's crazy! I'm glad the county didn't follow through. I think more and more places are reversing their bans, and few if any are instituting new ones, so hopefully in 10 years that will be a thing of the past.
I really dislike the receptionist/nurse(?) at my Perinatal Specialist's office. She's rude af and has horrible bedside manner. I don't need or expect for my ass to be kissed but look at me when you're talking to me and don't give me attitude when I have a question about scheduling or the vitals you took from me.
I still don't like the 3rd tri board. It's not that I'm scared, I just really don't want to read about anyone else's mucus plug or yeast infection (really? a whole thread for your infection?) or trying to go into labor early (idiots) and the like.
I'll just stick with you normal A16 ladies and the crazies on Baby Names, thankyouverymuch.

I agree. I've tried to troll the 3rd tri board and I just can't. It's like 28 weeks happened and those women lost all of their sense. It's probably similar if you go back through the 1st tri board though. The unknown. At least in the 2nd tri, you're just waiting for the 3rd tri to start.

I only stick to A16 unless someone tells to to go look at some crazy drama somewhere else.
lol I went and looked at the 1st tri board for "funsies" and this poster has a ticker on her signature that shows she's 3 weeks and 6 days pregnant and the baby is the size of cocoa powder.
So...DH and I adopted another puppy today. I gave him a Valentine's Day deadline and he was determined to get a playmate for our other dog. My dad is going to lose his mind when my parents come visit

PICTURES PLEASE!?!?!?
She's passed out with her head between my legs at the vet right now, so I'll get back to you on that. My other dog was guarding the cats when we introduced them, it was so sweet!
All this talk of dogs make me want one... Then I remember that they poop and I have to pick it up. Nope nope nope. I would never be the dog owner who leaves poop anywhere, so I'm just not a dog owner. And I love the adopt don't shop push until I go to my sil's house, where her gigantic dogs are rescues with brain damage, and I wonder if it wouldn't be worth it to go with a thoroughly vetted breeder,because her dogs are nuts. Anyway, my fffc is that I completely forgot that it was a Friday, and so forgot to pick up my kid from school. I'm the worst. In my defense, though, who the hell thought 12:30 was a reasonable school dismissal time?!
@AEG84 that pup is sooooo cute!!!! My FFFC is that had every intention of showering today - walked in the bathroom, turned the shower on, started getting undressed and then said "fuck it". Turned the shower off, lounge clothes still on, watching greys reruns. I mean what's the point in showering at 5pm anyway?!
@mojomama6 both of my girls were accidents and came from backyards. Athena is the smartest dog I've ever had next to the seeing eye dog my parents inherited after her owner passed away. She was filthy when we got her, covered in sap and had been an outside dog all 16 weeks of her life. Phoebe, the new pup, is full of worms and fleas but she's so sweet. I figure it's not the dog's fault when owners don't get them fixed soon enough, but I would have a really hard time adopting an adult dog because it's impossible to know what conditions they came from.
Also, pic of the new mutt because I'm an AW and she's adorable
My FFFC is that I still haven't figured out what AW means
I am so bad with things like that. It took me ages to figure out BRU stood for Babies-R-Us. I'm the type of person who likes to write everything out, so trying to figure out what someone means in chat speak tastes me a million years.

@amadorrose, we went to the rescue tonight and she crawled right up in DH's lap as soon as we got there. He's smitten. She'll be coming home tomorrow after our birth class if all goes according to plan! @dancingsphinx22, appreciate it. I'm a wee bit apprehensive, but she's already dog door trained so I'm really not too worried. Plus we have two teenagers that really want a second dog and will be drafted to help out
Thank god my husband doesn't get on TB because he would be so jealous of you guys for getting puppies!!! He wants a puppy so bad, but we live in an apartment with weight restrictions that wouldn't accommodate a big dog like he wants. Plus with me being a SAHM I'd be the one training and taking care of the new puppy with a toddler, a newborn, and a kitten. I will have enough on my plate until we move again. Good luck to you ladies though, you are braver than I am!
FFFC: I had a hot dog for breakfast today and it was delicious! And now laying in bed at 1:18 am I totally want another one.

Ha! I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I felt like a 5 year old hearing a cuss word. I knew it was an insult but I didn't know what it meant! And since I knew that much I was too lazy to look it up. But at least I know what it means now.
Loving the puppy pictures but I'm more of a cat person. Random pic but is it mean for me to want to do this to my cat? Lol
I definitely put our cat in Princess Leia ears for about ten seconds one time and it was incredible. And don't be jealous, she whined very loudly all night; I wanted her now because she wouldn't have lasted if she acted like a puppy with a newborn in the house.

@AEG84
Don't do it!!
Your hands are are going to be full, you don't need to be chasing after, cleaning up after, and taking care of a puppy, too!
Not trying to be the buzzkill of the year. I swear! But we have 3 dogs right now, and they already drive me nuts. take it from someone who knows.
