My good deed

Last night we had my friend Jeanine over, with her 3 year old daughter Megan. It was a lot of fun to finally get to entertain now that the house is finally unpacked, looks like home, and is decorated for Christmas.

Jeanine and Megan stayed for dinner, I made pork chops and chicken, grilled cheese for Megan, then once Megan was used to Phil and I, Jeanine went to visit her husband Nathan in the hospital. She is such a cute, adorable little 3 year old, and was perfect for us, she even fell asleep about 9:45 watching Noggin. We got to bed late, after 1am, which meant we only got a few hours sleep before Phil had to wake up and get ready for school.

The alarm went off at 6:45a, much to my dismay, and I was all set to go back to bed when Phil came in and said there was a German Shepherd running in the parking lot. Turns out he must have been lost or abandoned, and his hind legs looked hurt, since he was walking very funny. This was at 7:30a, and the emergency line to the Humane Society didn't open until 8, so I waited and finally got a hold of someone, and they said they were sending over Maricopa County Animal Control to pick up the dog. I got off the phone and decided to head outside to make sure the dog stayed over here. I went outside and the dog came right over to me, super friendly, but obviously needing help. About 2 mins later Animal Control was here, and he went right over to the lady, where she got him on a leash and started an IV and checked him out, and then they were on their way. So that was my good deed of the day, making sure the dog was OK and knowing he is going to get treatment and get adopted to a good family. Brandi was a rescue dog, and I have a special place in my heart for them.

Now I am sitting here with Megan, Jeanine needed to go to the hospital this morning and talk to her husband's doctor, and since he is in ICU right now for seizures he is having, Megan isn't allowed back there. I had no problem watching her, she is such a good little girl and she is sitting next to me right now as I type this, playing "Where is the clown?", where she took one of my clown ornaments and is hiding it from me, and then I say where is the clown and she says I don't know! This definitely is making me want to have kids even more then I have been.

OK, time to go for now, now we are playing let's make the clowns dance....
