Quick replies today... as i am in a frenzy to get packing and ready to fly OUT tomorrow!
Oh my gosh!!!!! I am speechless!!!!! Your brood grew overnight! Poor poor Raven... It sounds like she DEFINITELY found the right person to give her a new life, and help her on her path to becoming a good doggy citizen! You've got your hands full, lady. But she'll get there! I'm so very very happy that you gave this beautiful girl the home she so desperately needed! Please keep us updated on her progress!
yes it grew A LOT. I will always keep you updated on the insanity that ensues in my household!! LOL! yeah, She is sweet idiot.
Raven is so very lucky to have you as her new family... If anyone can turn her into a good family dog - it is you. I know that. She knows that. She is beautiful though and hopefully everyone begins to get along famously soon... And big doggie bladder = no fun... I have little doggie bladder = no fun and it's really no fun... Cannot imagine.

But she is lucky - very, very lucky...
One more day Sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll probably cry when I see you girls... It's been too long. Damn near crying now, just thinking about it.
Love you - truly mean it!
D~ <--- off to get my nails done so I can look purty for you!
I cannot believe i have another dog... and no manners.. good gracious.
She is not house trained.. Yes please try to imagine a small elephant not house trained. It the same.
TOMORROW!!!! I cannot wait!
It's a little cooler here today too, only going up to 81 degrees.

(how the heck do you make the little circle for the degrees sign? I can't figure that out for the life of me).
We are going to get up to 60 today... I can't believe it's june.. and it's only 60!
Degree sign: hold alt 0176 so you can do this: °O°
Good luck with the new baby, she really is beautiful! I hope you are able to get everyone settled, I know how it is trying to integrate a new dog and train them.
She is a handful.. just feel so sorry for her and want to beat her all at the same time..
As you know I'm on the other end of the potty training with my Eddie. Four accidents in the house this weekend.

I woke up on Sunday morning to "@#$% it Eddie!" being yelled by Jim. Apparently he had taken him out then got in the shower. He got out of the shower a few minutes later to find a puddle. So it was off to the vets. Fortunately the vet thinks it's just a kidney infection so they put him on antibiotics. We decided not to do any further testing other than some blood panels because if it's any worse than an infection such as kidney failure, there is really nothing they can do. So fingers crossed that the antibiotics work!
If I don't talk to you before Wednesday, have a wonderful, wonderful time in Maine! I can't wait to read all about it. Just remember to stay away from the sharks.
UGH the accidents in the house are HORRIBLE! it's like peeing a lake then the elephant size poop! i am used to it OUTSIDE not in my living room!
i have to get her to the vet. Waiting for her heat to end! God i will be happy when THAT is over! my house is to upside down right now.
Yes.. I have to stay away from sharks.. damn dreams!!! LOL
Oh gosh.....good luck to Tom! I am so sorry Tom.....bad timing for Maine. Maybe she will be all trained and a totally different pup by the time you get home?? She is beautiful though. And big!
I do feel really bad. but then i think of all the predicaments he has put me in and the guilt just leaves! LOL
Raven is a beautiful dog and she was really lucky to have found you and your family. I like the name, too.
How exciting to be going off to see your friends in Maine. I know you'll have a lot of fun together.
And I wore my winter coat and gloves to work today. Cooler by the lake means freezing by the lake.
she is a really pretty dane. She is going to be beautiful once i have her health up! I need to take before and after shots!!! Thank you i do like Raven.
I cannot wait to leave!!!
No kidding!!! i life right next door to the lake too.. so i am ALWAYS COLD!!!
I'm so jealous of ya'll who are complaining about being cold... It's in the low 90s here and HUMID. I'm sweating my @$# off!

And it's only going to get worse!
Also: Mo, update your title, lady!
I am TIRED of the COLD!!! TIRED OF IT!!!
Updating now. thank you!
What an awesome birthday surprise with the pin! SO CUTE.
I'm happy you will be going to Maine and have more epic adventures!!
I am so happy Raven found a good family like yours to take her in! She is such a cutie & needs some good loving which you'll do! Tom is going to have his handful while your gone
Also, go Hawks!
Thank you! Yes Raven will need a LOT of work but we are up for the challenge! she need love and manners all will be well in a few months. I hope!
Hawks are going to TAKE IT! Bring Stanley HOME!!!
What a gorgeous dog Raven is! I love her new name too. Poor thing, being mistreated like that though, I can't stand animal cruelty it makes my blood boil, it really does. I'm so glad she found her way to your family though. Time for her new life to begin, the life she deserves!
Go Hawks!!

I was so happy when I woke up the morning after and saw the news (yeah, not staying up until 4am just yet...Maybe for the end of the final series!).
Thank you!! Yes she is a beauty!
Those kids should have their headed beaten in.
HAWKS ARE GOING ALL-THE-WAY!!! Did you hear what Florida is doing?
Oh, Mo! You and your family are so wonderful for giving that poor puppy a happy home. Once she figures out all the rules she'll be the happiest dog ever! What big, kind heart you all have!
we are all nuts. that's what we are. This is going to be a long process.. But we will get it done. I just feel bad about leaving!!
And so you are! Sleep deprivation has got the best of me; teething baby.
Welcome Raven! She's a beauty and while I know it will be a ton of work for you I think she found the right home; nothing like a skilled and seasoned dog trainer to help a directionless pup! I'm glad she safe and well cared for; your family is very kind to have taken her in.
Yay Maine! You girls are gonna have such fun!
ha ha ha Yes that does keep you up at night doesn't it??? i hope you get some sleep SOON!!!
oh poor Raven! she is going to do well. but she is a LOT of work..
YAY MAINE!!!
BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW!!! I WILL BE IN MAINE! i know i will be posting a lot of stuff while we are together once we get back i will give the FULL story!!!
I found out a little more about poor Raven.
She was being chased by a bunch of kids with sticks and were poking and prodding her. so the cops picked her up.. then fed her 4 POUNDS of kibble and bits. she was so black you couldn't see the white on her and had a rope around her neck! She still has a bit of rope burn.. So the cops who picked her up did the best they knew how to help. she was just terrible at chasing the cats and bulling the other dogs. (she really doesn't know better just trying to play)
It's amazing to know the terrible things she has gone threw. and see how lovable and playful she still is without any fear or hate.. just wants to be apart of family.. to be loved and wants to play...
Just melts my heart. poor baby.
See you all later!!! I am OUT OF HERE!! taking a half day...
as you know me.. I still don't ONE THING PACKED! not a damn thing.. what is wrong with me!
