No word yet as of today but I must practice patience as she isn't the only little one needing special care and attention at the Animal Foundation. The woman said to be patient so I must learn to be, but boy it's difficult. I want what I want when I want it...Bad Chatty!!! I am being a good ole girl I promise. But yee gads its hard.

Chats, my boys tell me I have tons of patience because I've never used any....everybody is a comedian. Hang in there, gal.

JJ..haaa..sounds like me..always getting kidded about my patience..

Guess we can´t be perfect all the time

and I love reading Buddha..

Any one that knows me well knows also I am not a patient person. Oh I try hard but fail miserably most of the time. I am also a perfectionist and the pressure put upon me when editing or ghostwriting is terrible and I AM THE GUILTY PARTY!!! Not my clients, its me. My mom say I have been that way all of my life and many good things have come from it but usually for someone else and not me. I am too old to change now so I just do the best I can not to get an ulcer or gray hairs or alieanate people.

When Rosee & Reeta both died I felt so helpless just having to wait around with absolutely no control over anything, that I actually >(unknowingly)< chewed off my long beautiful fingernails. I kid you not, so just call me knubby until they grow back again!!!

Dear Knubs, any word?

You are such a wise butt and too funny. YES!!! I pick up my baby today at 1:00 p.m. Her name will be SASSY! She is so adorable, a brown, tan and white tiny Chihuahua. I have only a black and white photo of her for now as my printer does not print color. I am mailing one to you JJ, my mom, and another to Avalon Blondie on my way out today. I will take some in color and send them to Edelweiss who will be posting them for me. Ask me if I am excited???
YOU BETCHA I AM!!!

Congratulations, Mommy Knubs! We couldn't be happier for you, or for Sassy!

I'm so excited for you, Chatty. Can't wait to see pictures and hear all about her.

SASSY arrived home yesterday at about 1:30 p.m. all her new fixins were in place. She seemed shy for about the first half hour then ate, pooped, and started exploring the whole house. She loves her fancy new enclosure and slept in my room next to my bed safe and secure in it, and she slept all night with only a few fusses, then I lowered my hand into her bed got some kisses and she went right back to sleep. This morning she was tearing all around the house playing with her many toys, ate a hearty breakfast and them went into her bed.

I had 4 soft stairs for the other girls so they could climb up on my bed and figured Sassy wouldn't be able to use them for several months yet as she is so small. WELL!!! Guess what? I was at the computer and turned to see if she was still asleep and she wasn't there, and then I saw her sassy self sitting smack dab in the center of my queen size bed looking at me. She has climbed the stairs several times since then. I picked the correct name for this little spitfire, I'm sure of that...

My ex is picking up a camera for me today so I can get some pictures to post.

Great news, Chatty. I almost feel like a proud grandparent as I've been checking in here often since yesterday waiting to hear the news! Can't wait to see pictures.
