Jake and Maggie

Here are some photos of our two Pug/Beagle mixes, Maggie and Jake. Courtesy of the 110th PAD's new gear. First Maggie and the second is Jake doing his best impression of Last of the Mohicans. 

I love them and think they are hilarious. Especially when they are sleeping.

Adoption

I want to adopt. Not some cute cuddly asian baby. I want to adopt a kid, someone who needs me. Some one who wants me. I dont just want to choose my child, I want them to choose me too. It really irrates me that people seem to assume that as soon as I say I want to adopt that they get a mental picture they see me with a baby. What the hell I dont want a baby for? I could just make one if I wanted a baby. I don't have reproductive issues.

Its like when I joined the army. There was no question, no moment of maybe this was the wrong idea. It fit and became a part of me. Just like how I feel when I think about adopting. It just fits.

~Erik just forced me to go on a walk with him. i was happy to ineffectually express myself but he took me out and we had a good talk. Now I feel less hostile to people who dont understand were i am coming from.

Latinos want to be underappreiciated

True story:

A woman in my Foundations in Education Class made the following statement in regards to the high school drop out rate of Latinos in the United States being 20% or so.

"maybe they like the way they are... I mean maybe they like the standard of life they have now."


Erik is watching "Driving Miss Daisy".

DTS sucks

So we are super far behind on our training schedules and I seem to be the only one it matters to. Of course when the mass emails go out listing the shitbags that dont have their training schedules approved its my name on the list.

Ok so it is primarily my fault. I cant honestly find the time when DTS is working and I have enough time to go through all 500 hundred steps to put in a two day training schedule. Any one else have any issues with this?

I think that I am going to cut some corners and go for a History Degree instead of Secondary Education. I mean I make more money doing the job I have now then if I was to become a teacher...

Good plan I think.

Go ahead try that shit again bastard

Maggie and I went for a run today. There is a perfect two mile loop around my house so I wanted to try it out. It went really well until Maggie got attacked by a dog.

She is fine. I scared it off and I think it may have bitten her spiked collar. Fucking dog ran across the busy street to get to her.

If I hadnt of been able to scare it off I would have had to hurt it. If it trys that bullshit again I will.

Now I love dogs. All kinds. This one was a Pit bull (a breed I happen to be pretty fond of and have owned myself). Pit bulls can be great dogs but there are a few things you have to realize about them.

1) They can be dog/animal aggressive.
2) Once the chase is on they can be hard to stop

That being said, WHY THE FUCK WOULDN'T YOU MAKE SURE YOUR DOG CAN'T ESCAPE THE FUCKING YARD?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People drive me insane.
I am more angry at the owners than the dog.
