Dog Daycamp Week 3!


Jillie will be starting week 3 at Petsmart Doggie Daycamp this week! She goes once a week and spends the entire day at camp. The first week I was really nervous, maybe she wouldn't make friends, what if the other dogs didn't like here. Well no worries here, Jillie made lots of friends, as usual. Her first 2 weeks have gone well and all the employees at Daycamp know Jillie and I well now. (Probably know Jillie well and I am probably just Jillie's Mom.)

Week 1 her "pawgress report" said she made 3 new friends and week 2 she had made 5 new friends....she has to be the most popular dog in camp by now. I'm going to attribute this to her being maniac. Jillie is rarely worn-out...not after daycamp, dog parks, runs, walks, etc. Last Monday, while completing our taxes (and evidently neglecting my dog) she ate a pair of my work pants. Yes, literally ate a hole through them. Awesome. Ah, the joys of being a dog owner. At the moment, she is quitely sitting in my lap (clearly, she loves this blog post) but at a moments notice that cuteness changes into her being a maniac.

Taxes Are Done!!

Woop woop!! I just completed our taxes for 2009. It was no small feat either, I completed our federal and 3 states (Michigan, Indiana and Illinois). Unfortunately, my least favorite state is also the state we owe money to! Damn you Hoosiers and that would happen. Now that my taxes are done I can update my followers on my most recent life adventures....



My first ticket...thank you Auburn Hills Police for solving the world's toughest crimes and making a grown woman cry on her way to work. Last week after taking my dog to her first day of daycamp I was pulled over for speeding en route to the office. All the usual attempts to get out of my ticket were epic failures....balling my eyes out, the fact that I still had an out-of-state license and was new to the area....this guy meant business. To make matters even worst my license was confiscated!! What am I a convict?! Well no, it's because I was technically from out-of-state and evidently they don't want me skipping town and not paying my ticket. Later that day I had to go post bond of $20 and get my license back....BEST.DAY.EVER. Don't worry friends more to come here in the next 1-2 months I'll be receiving my court date so I can make my plea in court. Power suit please....

Anywho life lesson learned....don't speed in Auburn Hills and don't speed when you are out of your homestate!
