Nobody talks smack about my fur babies!!

Ugh...  I finally meet a guy that's not jail bait, doesn't have 5 baby mama's, and has a j-o-b and now I'm wondering.....is he not very smart or just completely tactless?  


Since we met through mutual friends the other night he found me on facebook and we messaged back and forth on there until I gave him my cell # and he started to text me....alot.....


I played along and text back and forth for a couple hours.  Just asking what each other liked and getting to know you type things and it was all good......until.....I asked him if he has pets....he said no....I said I have 3....2 dogs and a cat....his response was, and I quote, "OMG, the smell!! lol!"    Uhhh excuse me did you just tell me my house stinks?  I text hey! be nice!, thinking he's going to try to cover up his lack of tact by saying....sorry....or just kidding....nope he just says pets aren't for him.   Now anyone that knows me knows that these are my fur-babies and this guy who hasn't even seen them or my house just insulted them and me!  What the???  I rather abruptly told him we'd chat later I needed to go.....possibly I'm in shock?


The next day he starts to text again I ignore him for a few hours...then text sorry been busy!...he asked what are you doing?  which is not really his business but I answer....cleaning my house.  someone (meaning him!!) made me paranoid that my house smells yesterday!.....now I would think after that comment any normal person would see that they'd hit a nerve.  Apparently normal he is not because his next text is......oh too bad we could have done lunch.....uhh really? I don't think so....I quit texting him back.


Today I wake up to another text from him.  Have a great day...blah blah blah.....and a facebookok I didn't say the jerk part........now the important question.......should I delete him from facebook?  or hide my stream form him? or do nothing?  I haven't dated in almost 4 years so someone give me a clue please!! message...you don't seem interested?....really?  you think!!!  After much debating I just messaged back "I don't think we're a good match."  Jerk!........

My little Pepper (A rat terrier story)

My little Pepper is so darn cute!  She's the youngest of my 3 dogs so she's the baby and gets treated like a princess!  These pics are typical Pepper.  (She thinks she's queen of the mountain!)  We were washing our throw pillows and had them on the floor in a pile to put in the laundry and Pepper had to climb on top and lounge.  I thought she looked hilarious with her front leg all propped up surveying her kingdom! lol!

In the second pic I think she realized we were laughing at her and gave us her sad face.  Just about breaks your heart don't it?

In case you're wondering she's a 2 year old Rat Terrier from the local Humane Society.  My husband and I adopted her about a year ago and have not stopped laughing since!  She's got to be one of the sweetest and funniest dogs I've ever been around.  When we first went into the kennel part of the Humane Society we walked right by her to the puppies in the back.  We decided that a puppy would be too much work and should look at some older dogs.  We went back into the first kennel and looked at several dogs who were barking and scratching at their cages trying to get to us but I wanted to see the small black and white dog all curled up on her bed with her back to us.  She had a cute little green hankerchief tied around her neck and the tag on the cage said her name was Paisley.    The humane society volunteer met us outside with her and she shyly stood by and looked at us.  She was malnourished, you could see her ribs and tail bone sticking out.  The volunteer brought us a ball and my husband showed it to her and threw it to the other end of the pen.  She shot out like a light super fast and graceful with her long thin legs and little body.  It was amazing how fast those little legs could go!  She brought the ball right back to us.  She stood right in front of us with her little stubby tail wagging 100mph and looking up at us with those big chocolate brown eyes and I was a goner.  She's been our little Pepper ever since! :)

Now that I have that taken care of here's a little about me for those who are new to my blog.  For living expenses I am a full time emergency dispatcher but for fun I make jewelry from new and vintage items and list them in my Etsy shop.  I am recently married and have a 14 yr old stepdaughter.  We have 3 dogs (a lab-Cisco, a rat terrier- Pepper, and a jack russell terrier- Zoe) and a big fluffy cat (Luther).  We all love going on long walks together (okay minus Luther) and hike in the woods every chance we get.  My husband is a top ranked white tail deer hunter in the US and a lot of what we do outdoors revolves around that.  We both have Harley Davidson motorcycles but I haven't learned to ride mine yet!   Fingers crossed I get to this summer! 

Well as you can see I'm a super busy wife, stepmom, doggy and kitty mom, dispatching, hiker, wanna be harley ridin, jewelry designing, blogger!  Nice to meet you!
