Oh, furbaby

I love my dog. There's no denying that. She's adorable and kind of the devil. 

Proof that she's the devil. Attacking a shihtzu when she was a baby. 

And proof that she was adorable. She had to have her ball and her bone at the same time. 

Now, she just makes these faces at me. She's very serious. And very much wanting my very late night snack. 

Earlier, I made her do what we call "circus dog" and stand up and dance in a circle for a treat. 

I love her so much. Maybe it's weird, but she's my baby. She is my furbaby. =]

She's finally getting used to me being back home. After like 6 months. And she's finally kenneling when we ask her. She is doing better with being off leash and she's still not a fan of water. I tried to get her to swim at Baker lake. She wasn't a fan. At all. She used all of her energy to swim back to shore and befriend anyone on the shore who would love her. 

Music Monday: Stupid

Stupid

Kacey Musgraves 

Love this song because its how love is at times when it isn't true love. You feel like it is but it isn't. You don't think. 

"Plays you like a fiddle

Shakes you like a rattle

Takes away your gun

And sends you into battle

Huffs and it puffs

'Til it blows your house down

And you don't know your heart

From a hole in the ground

Oh whoa oh whoa

Oh whoa oh whoa

Stupid love is stupid

Don't know why we always do it

Finally find it just to lose it

Always wind up looking stupid

Stupid

Girl meets boy

And boy he's a looker

Can't separate the salt from the sugar

There's nothing in your pockets

There's footprints on your face

You can't tell anymore

If you're the rabbit or the snake

Hey!

Oh whoa oh whoa

Oh whoa oh whoa

Stupid love is stupid

Don't know why we always do it

Finally find it just to lose it

Always wind up looking stupid

Stupid

I drink to feel

I smoke to breathe

Just look what love

Has done to me

Stupid love is stupid

Don't know why we always do it

Finally find it just to lose it

Always wind up looking so damn

Stupid love is stupid

Don't know why we always do it

Finally find it just to lose it

Always wind up looking stupid

Stupid"

July 4th

Today we celebrate the 4th of July. Independence Day. But what is the day and what does it really mean?

To me, it means that I'm not a heathen because I don't practice a specific religion. It means if I wanted to, I could marry the woman or man of my dreams. It means, in Washington state, that I wouldn't get in as much trouble for marijuana (not that I'd do it). It means I can say what I want to say and not be punished for it, unless of course I am Paula Deen. It means that I respect the military and all of the men and women who have fought to keep this country free, even if it meant losing their lives. It means I have specific rights that before we became a union, I wouldn't have. Is the United States perfect? Helllllll no. But I don't mind living here at all. I rather like it. 

So watch some fireworks, drink some alcoholic beverages, barbecue, enjoy the weather and enjoy your freedom. Don't take it for granted. So many people have far less. 

I'm at the ocean. I'm going to drink some wine, go to the beach and try to take some pictures of a fireworks show hopefully.
