I bought Macy a stake and lead today. She seems to be doing alright with it thus far...there were some entertaining moments early on this afternoon, when she couldn't figure out what the heavy thing she was dragging around was, and when she started digging frantically like she was trying to escape! Goofy puppy. She'll get the hang of it.
Meanwhile, the debate to keep her is causing many arguments with Chad. I know deep down I should respect his wishes and take her to the pound, but he also needs to understand how attached I am to her and how much I like having her around, no matter the trouble she causes. She's sweet, entertaining, affectionate, and fun. It would break my heart to think of her in some dirty metal cage, crying for me for hours and days on end, for God knows how long. No way can I do that to her! She's been in our family since she was five weeks old; how could I abandon her?
I'm putting off applying for that job at the paper. I don't know why, I think I'm just scared. I shouldn't be, if I don't get it I don't get it. But I'm such the avoider of unpleasant situations and rejections.
I'm also putting off dieting and doing what I need to to lose weight, erstwhile kicking myself for these pounds I've put on. I really need some motivation. You'd think looking in the mirror would be enough! I think I'm afraid that once I get started I won't be able to stop myself...that feeling of control and success is addictive sometimes. I'd really love a treadmill though!
My stomach is bothering me like crazy, and I really need to get to bed. Chad's going to be up earlier than I am now, and I need all the hours with him this weekend that I can get.
G'night loves...

Amber, do a search on petfinder.org for local animal rescue groups. If you do decide to get rid of Macy PLEASE don't take her to the pound. The average time spent there is usually less than a week before they will put them down.
If you contact a rescue group they will find her a good home. They will either come get her from you and put her in foster care until they can find her forever home, or ask if you'd be willing to keep her while they are finding her a home.
I also can't stand the thought of Macy being in a cage with all those other dogs barking around here - it seems really scary.
