Talking with Cricket, we faced my future. I have been walking her dog Griffin, as she's on a movie right now. In the dog park, I talked with a man who knows about service dogs for the blind. Apparently, they are short of people to foster them before they go into training. Another Bush deal.
He told me that one fosters the beastie for eighteen months and if the dog fails out, you can keep him. I was catching Cricket up with the dog park/Griffin news when I told her what Jack said. Cricket came right out and said I'd be doing that within the year! Hot poop on a Pringle! That my life would be about animals, not house-painting. That is so beyond my scope of joy right now. It seems like that would be Nirvana.
Okay, Nirvana with dog owners, abandonment, cruelty and shelters. But, Hell, Bells 'n' Smells, I am on the receiving end of an amazing gift. My best friend Cricket. She has been there for me when my family was not. She has supported me in every way: Emotionally, physically and financially.
My goal right now is to keep my brains together. In the long term? I'll be dancing with wolves.

Hot poop on a Pringle - best expression I've ever heard and not sure what it means.
Sounds like a pretty nice job! I wouldn't mind doing that for a change from sitting on my butt all day worrying.
You definitely have a way with words!
I wish I could have a dog, but my apartment doesn't allow them.
Have a wonderful day,
Jane

I'd like to think that if we have a job that pays us spiritually, we will need less money. We won't need to be buying those little treats we give ourselves as a reward for a tough day at work.
I think that it is wonderful that you are brave enough to make the change. I'll be looking forward to hearing how that goes.

Pringles are crisps made from dehydrated potatoes. They are made in a uniform curve, so that they stack neatly into the tube they are sold in. As to hot poop? Take a wild guess!

That's too bad. I am so lucky to own a home packed with animals!
How exciting for you,Dano! I'm thrilled for you!!

You know, I love your name. It can be read in a couple of different ways. See, I'd always read it as short-hand for "thinking for you".
Now I see the "thinking fuck you" approach.
Who knows what I'll infer next?

I'm going to an arbitration tomorrow. Some wanker is suing me for $50,000.
Let's see. How 'bout you invite me to they private blog, just for shits'n'giggles? I love mayhem.
In the meantime, I've added your blog to my roll. One of my fave homeless guys used to say, "Can you spare a quarter? I'm trying to get myself inebriated."
Back when a quarter counted, he deserved it. His vocabulary alone merited it!
ahhhhhh yes!! I know what Pringles are! Just thought it might be one of those expressions like "slap my butt adn call me Judy" taht I don't get but find funny
LOL! Dano,it actually is suppose to be read as Thinkin F you!! Just my passive aggressive side coming through.
