Woof Woof Woofstock

I’m sort of stunned how much fun events can be when you just go to ATTEND.  After 20 years of emceeing and judging and what-have-you, I’m no longer on the “A-list” of  ”Let’s Get Her To Attend”, which means I go to whatever I WANT to.  Woofstock was a FOR SURE.

The pictures tell the story.  Melissa and I took our girls, some of their friends, and our three dogs.  Hershey couldn’t stand it, at McDonald’s on the way, he was barking at every dog he would soon run into.  We saw everything from Pink Painted Pooches to those dressed to the nines to Melissa’s favorite the Crested something or other that’s shaved almost bald with just a little patch on it’s head.  We have since learned those puppies are HIGH MAINTENANCE and have skin problems, she no longer wants one.  I’m still in the “Wish I had a Shitzu” mode but I’m also leaning toward a cocker spaniel type.  Granted Kent said NO MORE DOGS, but I’m gonna have a back-up plan just in case he changes his mind!

NOT the Right Time.

   It’s not like I’m stupid but I did something really stupid yesterday.  I drove by a sign that said “Teacup Shitzu puppies for sale.”  Yep, I dialed that number, told my daughters to keep the secret from Dad and we’d check out the new puppies just for fun.

    The secret was out the minute I left the room, and Dad refused to go see the puppies.  He says you can have a puppy, but I’m not living in the same house with it.  Now, depending on when you ask me, that may or may not be a problem.IMG_1263

   Anyway back to the dogs.  I want one I want one I want one.

IMG_1272  That’s was the VOICE in my head, so you can imagine what my 8 and 12 year old daughters were saying.   We left without the little black and white baby boy that would give my Hershey someone to play with, but the whole time, I thought….for my mid-life explosion maybe Kent should be happy, I’m just wanting a new career, a new house, and a new puppy.

IMG_1273 Gosh, You’d have thought I asked to have a baby!! I’m Anita Cochran, and maybe my timing stinks but I think potty training sounds kind of fun right now.  And that’s what I really wanted to say.
