I know, I know, it has been a while.

My urge to sit down and write simply flew out the window one day and the damn thing wouldn’t come back. I’ve since found a small replacement mojo and decided to scamper in here to say hello to mostest favorite blogger peeps.

Overall, life has been good for me and mine. My biggest complaint is the cold weather that has moved in and grabbed my corner of the world by the testicles. The weather dudes have promised we will actually see temps getting into the 20s next week. Perhaps, I shall thaw out by then.

I’m adding a new baby to the family soon – well sorta soon. In March or April I’ll be bringing home the little bundle of joy. It will be a girl. We haven’t completely decided on a name yet. We’re getting a Newfie! Gotcha – ha! It’s a pupster!

Once we decided to add to the fam, I began researching various breeds of dogs. Our lab is very old and won’t be with us much longer so I want another large dog. I decided to go all out and get a really really large dog.

Originally, I was going to get a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, but their short life span made me change my mind. I’d actually found a breeder and was going to be getting one in June, but now – no. Swissies rarely live past eight years – that’s just not enough time!

The Newfi will be an adventure! I told the breeder I chose that I wanted a large dog. Somewhere in the midst of that sentence, he heard something like “gigantic” dog. Female Newfies average about 120 pounds and males about 150. My pup is going to be uh above average. The mother of my new baby is 150 and the daddy is 175! This should be interesting!

I hope you all had an awesome holiday season! I’ll bebop around here soon to catch up with you.

Until then…

Peace
