Bronx becomes Brooklyn

You know how sometimes you think that you have it all sorted out, and then you find something out about someone and it completely changes your opinion? Well that happened to my wife and I this weekend! Bronx is our foster puppy for the have for the weekend maybe longer. As part of being good foster parents it is our responsibility to take Bronx to showings so that he can get adopted as soon as possible.

So yesterday PetsMart was having an adopt-a-thon so we took Bronx for his debut. There were a ton of people there and also a lot of rescues. We were just hanging out talking to folks as they came up to pet and ask about the dogs, and then it happened!

Two laddies walked up and knelt down and began to pet Bronx, and were asking my wife questions. My beautiful wife answered the questions and then one of the ladies says, "did you say this was a boy?". My wife said yes he is a male and his name is Bronx. The nice lady then said I hate to tell you but this is a girl. My wife looks up in shock and says "no he's a boy, I think". I immediately respond by telling my wife (while laughing) that it is either one or the other. The ladies laugh and continue on shopping.

My wife then says I am going to pick him up and you look and tell me if he is a boy or a girl. She picks him up and all of the sudden he is not a he but a she! We laugh, and wonder how the shelter and the vets office could miss such an obvious issue!

So, Bronx is now Brooklyn, and a wonderful girl she is. Check her out!

Bronx

We have a brand new foster puppy name Bronx (my choice) for the weekend. He is 4 months old and cute as a button, and a bit of a wild child! We are waiting on another foster to come open, so until then we get to watch him grow and terrorize! I must say that I have forgotten how much work that puppies are.

That is all I am going to write for now, I must go check on the pup!!!!!

Look for pictures later!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!

Recovery Running

I went on a run today, not just an ordinary run, but a recovery run. This wasn't your typical recovery run, this was a special recovery run. This run was for my mind, it was my way of decompressing from a crazy week.

I am proud to say that I am recovered, and ready to take on what ever the world throws at me next. So the next time you feel like it is all to much go for a recovery run, and then take another look!

Pho Wednesdays

I wanted to fill everyone in on one of my new favorite foods, Pho Hoa (Pronounced Fa Wha) it is a Vietnamese noodle soup. It comes in several different varieties, but the basic premise is thin rice noodles in a very very hot broth. Thinly sliced rare or raw beef is placed in, and cooked by the broth. Now I know it sounds gross, but I promise you that it is best thing ever!!

My brother, myself, and another friend meet their every Wednesday. I love it more and more each time! So if you get the opportunity to try Pho, give it a shot I promise you will be pleasantly surprised!
