Since I have moved here, I have had the opportunity to meet many new people. Now that I'm here (even though the winters are horrible) I wouldn't move. My girls are established and have made friends. I also have made friends.
I want to go back for a second and talk about military life. My husband and I met while we were in the Marine Corps. I got out; he stayed in. So most of the time we were married, we moved and saw people come and go. It's really hard not to get desensitized to people. I know I am guilty of it. The military lifestyle had my perspective of people all jacked up. Sure, I would be nice to people because we all need human contact, but at the same time I would never get to close to people. I always hated seeing people pack up and move and deep in the pit of my stomach I knew I would never see them again. Sure I might call, text, or email them but the good times were over.
Now to flash forward to present day... Knowing that, now you can understand why I consider my lifestyle now to be so special.
Now moving forward to my new family member... One of my girlfriends that I have made since living here has a best friend that bought a full blooded yellow lab. The problem is that she was constantly locking him up in a cage for at least 14 hours a day. So my friend said I'm taking your dog and I'm not bringing him back. My friend and I had been discussing the dog for a while. So she finally brought the dog to her house.
My husband and I were discussing how he would get along with my current dog. The answer is actually pretty well. He has a humping issue because he isn't fixed and the other issue is him constantly trying to race out the door. If anybody heads towards the door he practically knocks whoever is there to race out the door. But he is a really good dog and he is still a puppy so he's trainable. He is slightly hyper, but not like brand new puppy hyper. He's a year and a few months like 3.
So our newest member is Ralph the yellow lab =)
