Free to a Good Home:





6 month old pure breed human baby up for adoption.  He comes with his own bottles, blankets and clothes.  We adopted him thinking he would be a good playmate for our dogs, but it turns out we don't have time for him.  He has a lot of energy and always wants to play. He is a sweet baby, but is not yet fully potty trained and chews on toys that aren't his.  The other morning he even peed in his bed and I had to change the sheets and do an extra load of laundry.  Plus he keeps us up at night crying and I worry that he will give our dogs germs and possibly bite them.  Please contact me if you are interested in adopting this baby.  I would hate to have to bring him to the pound and have him put to sleep, but we just can't keep him. 

Sound crazy?  What if the rolls were reversed?  What if you had to get rid of the baby instead?  I mean, in reality, isn't the baby the one that is taking up all your free time?
I am so sick and tired of reading about people giving their dogs away after they have a baby because they just don't have time for them anymore or they are dirty or whatever other lame ass excuse you come up with.  When you adopted or bought a dog you took on the responsibility to care for them FOR THEIR WHOLE LIFE, not until it becomes inconvenient for you. 

If you can't commit to 10-15 years of care then DON'T GET A DOG!!!  And for god's sake DON'T BREED THE DOG IN HOPES OF MAKING MONEY OFF THEIR PUPPIES!!!  They are there to be your companion not a money maker, not your "guard dog" and not some cute little accessory that you ditch the second it outgrows your purse.

The number of dogs surrendered due to a new baby is alarming and sickening.  I know that in rare cases a dog can actually be a real danger to a child but please, take time to re home your dog with a loving FOREVER home without kids.  YOU OWE IT TO THEM!!!  WE domesticated them, WE chose to adopt or buy them, WE are responsible for their care!  Don't think that dropping your dog off at the shelter or posting an add on craigslist somehow absolves you of responsibility.  Their blood is on your hands and guess what, there is about a 95% chance that they WILL DIE before the end of the week!  Does your dog have any pit bull or bully like characteristics?  It was dead before you even drove away. 

I know we are all busy and I know, boy do I KNOW how much time a baby takes, but please, PLEASE don't ditch your doggies!!

Klean n' Shine

Anyone who has met me knows that little things like smashed pillows on the sofa, crumbs on the counter, water spots on the faucet fixtures, crooked picture frames and dust bunnies don’t bother me at all. So what I am about to tell you may shock you. I few days ago ran out of crack, I mean Klean n’ Shine, a cleaning product from the 70’s that is so toxic it foams at the mouth but I can not stop using it because it cleans EVERYTHING and doesn’t streak and F you planet, I do a lot for you already, I LOVE KLEAN N’ SHINE. Anyway, I felt the can getting low and made a note to pick up a new can or 10 at the only remaining retailer brave enough to carry this cleaner, Star Market. I grab my cloth bags, see, I told you planet, and head for the market. I make my way directly to the cleaning aisle and scan the usual area only to find that there is no Klean n’ Shine. I try to remain calm but when I see that there isn’t even an empty spot where it is supposed to be, or a tag marking its old spot

You're kidding, right

So, the other day I went to the Doctor for a physical. Sounds pretty boring right? Like why the hell do you care? Well, I haven't been to the doctor for a physical in 10+ years. Now before you get all OH MY GOD YOU ARE GOING TO DIE on me, let me explain. I have a gynecologist that I see annually and quite frankly, I see no other reason to go to the doctor. Unless of course I'm dying, which I am not, or at least I don't think I am. Anyway, there I sat, waiting for the doctor...waiting, still waiting, STILL WAITING, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE DOCTOR. Oh, hello. Here, take my blood pressure. 140 over 96. Are you kidding me? Sorry, I'm just nervous, my blood pressure is usually really low. I then began to nervously ramble, telling the doctor my entire life story and ending with the fact that I don't like doctors; sorry doc, but I don't. She proceeded to ask me a variety of questions including a few RANDOM ones like if I wore my seat belt. Yes, I do, in fact

To Make Things Clear

Everyone knows someone who is "that" guy or "that" girl.  You know the one, he or she is always saying the wrong thing or their sense of humor, or lack there of, is constantly being misinterpreted.  You either know someone like this or YOU ARE this person.  Either way, sometimes other peoples words don't come out quite right or you don't read/hear them as they were intended. I fear that I have become "that" girl with the sarcasm and humor in which I write about my son.  Only a small handful of actual people have brought it to my attention, but it was enough for me to take their words into consideration and re-read some of my postings about Caches and the challenges we face.  And you know what?  They are right.  Some of the things I write are a little bit inappropriate, not quite politically correct, and certainly not how some people would speak of their child, but this is how I cope. My writing and a VERY select group of people in my life whom
