So one of my hobbies is photography. I admit it has been almost a year since my last trip and I need to get out there and take more pics. But here are some of my pictures.

So I am a huge lover of animals. So when I read stuff like this I often wonder how people's minds work.

Here in Colorado strange stuff happens all the time.

Dog with note found wandering on highway

DENVER � Gordon Lee doesn�t say much, but if he could, this dog would tell you a story that might break your heart.

Gordon Lee is a 5-year-old Lhasa Apso mix. He is gentle and quiet and was found walking along C-470 at 4:30 a.m. Thursday.

The only thing he had was a note:

�My name is Gordon Lee. I�m a fixed boy. My family has to move and they can�t keep me. I sometimes shake and get scared. Please help me find a new family.�

The Good Samaritan that found Gordon Lee brought him to the animal emergency room in Littleton. The Samaritan found him at Wadsworth Boulevard and C-470. She was apparently on her way to the airport to pick up her parents.

�He�s very worried. I think he may be very concerned where his folks are, why this is happening to him,� said Milan Hess with Colorado Veterinary Specialists.

�I think it's ridiculous. You have a healthy, charming young little dog, that they put work into, they've groomed him, they've neutered him, they've done all these things and then they abandon him,� said Hess.

The vets with Colorado Veterinary Specialists are not sure if Gordon Lee is the dog�s real name.

�He doesn�t respond to his name. He doesn�t respond to anything else either,� said Hess.

If you are interested in adopting Gordon Lee, Lhasa rescue will be in charge of screening potential owners for Gordon Lee. You can contact them by visiting www.cstmr.org.

Colorado Veterinary Specialists say they will keep Gordon Lee for a week before turning him over to the other shelter. They say his adoption is free, they only want contributions to their stray pet fund.

�He�s a good little dog,� said Hess.

Experts say there are many options for people who can no longer keep their pets.

The Dumb Friends League has a 24 hour drop off at their location on 2080 S. Quebec St. There is also a 24 hour drop off at the Castle Rock Buddy Center at 4556 Castleton Court.


Why didn't the person just take the dog to a place like the dumb friends league? why just dump him on the side of the road and leave a note? Too bad I couldn't have a dog here or I would take in the little guy.

I found out, by reading her blog, that Krissy had to go to the hospital last night. I am really scared, and I am hoping she is alright. But she never tells me if something serious is going on with her. I always have to read it in her blog. Then it gets me to wonder, am I being the best friend possible or is something holding me back? Same thing happens with Phyllis...if something happens to her she keeps it from me.

SO the definition of ANXIETY is distress or uneasiness of mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune. I often wonder if that is me. I constantly worry about everything and everyone I love. Almost to the point of annoyance. I basically worry if people don't call me and let me know they are doing alright. I especially worry if they keep me in the dark and don't tell me, just because they don't want to worry me. I hate not being told. I just say tell me...I deal with it better.

So what brings this up? I talked to my doctor today and she put me on Valerian Root to help me sleep. I am an insomniac and I have been for the majority of my life. It just started bugging me lately because being "tired" (for lack of a better term) is effecting my work and my social life. I mean I miss work because I am too tired (and I am not talking lazy tired, I am talking exhausted) but I also have a ton going on in my life right now too. My grandma, my parents, etc. In previous posts I talked about maybe having MS or CFS. It is scary not knowing. I am on iron and this is supposed to not make me so tired. And i have to wait for my red blood count to come back up before they can run other tests to find out what the cause is. What if it is just Anxiety? that is my thinking. But seriously none of my friends are up front with me and tell me they notice I have a problem or anything like that...I mean can I hide it that well? So now I worry about my situation. What could I possibly have?

Nothing much really happening. I missed work yesterday because my grandma fell inside her house. I ended up having to take her to the hospital. She is doing fine and she is actually doing well. My aunt on the other hand was supposed to be there...and she was mysteriously missing. I just want to scream sometimes!

SO today I was busy, busy, busy at work. But that is actually a good thing because then the time goes fast. Not to mention I got home pretty early and I got to cook dinner, clean the kitchen and do some laundry.

I have been on an iron supplement plus a bunch of other vitamins and minerals. The pill is nasty. It makes just about everything I eat taste like a rusty nail. And it is supposed to make me last tired...but that is debatable. That is the whole reason why I was going to the doctor...and so far it hasn't done much. So I go back to the doctor in a few weeks and they get to run more tests...take more blood. I just hope that I don't have MS...that scares me that I might have that.

But on a happy note today was a pretty good day. I got to spend some good time with my kitties when I got home. And I got to relax a little. So all in all good day.

Today I got to spend some much needed time with Krissy. All I can say is it has been a while. Plus I love having little Gregory around. It amazes me how much more comfortable I have become around him. At firs t I was a little scared I might do something to harm him. But Even though all we did is walk around the mall that was enough for me.

Other than that I have been doing laundry and cleaning stuff up. I had kind of let my apartment go when I had the flu...so I am just now getting the time to get back to the upkeep. Work pretty much takes up all of my time during the week.

So tomorrow is the Superbowl. I do hope Chicago wins, just because I hate Peyton Manning and most of all I hate seeing his idiot face everywhere. So what are your superbowl picks? Is it jus me or does the Superbowl seem like it is not that big of a deal this year? I miss the day of the Denver Broncos being in the Superbowl. I love football and it is going to be one long offseason for me. Hopefully the team will dump Jake the "snake" Plummer. Maybe we can get some quality talent for him. But then again who is stupid enough to pick his ass up? I am going to miss football!

My dad's 53rd birthday is coming up. Man I have no idea what to get him. He has tools, clothes, etc. And he says he doesn't need anything. My dad isn't into sports or any other thing conventional dads are into. So I can't even get that easy gift. Ah who knows, with the way my finances are going this month he may just get a card...and a big hug. Then shortly after that is my mom's 52nd birthday...hmmm what to get her....

WOOHOO it is snowing again. 7th time in as many weeks. I know that most people hate it but I love it! I don't mind driving in it, but I mind that other people can't. It too me almost 2 hours to get home from work! Good thing I was bowling with my fellow work mates at the end of the day...I normally wouldn't have been so calm. Our boss took all of us bowling. It was really fun! Plus most of the people at work are great to hang out with. There are only 13 of us.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about happenings in my life. Trying to figure out what I want to do, where I want to be...and stuff that I would settle for. Haven';t really figured anything out yet...but hey I will keep thinking about it!

OHHHHH and I got a hit on yahoo. Anthony wrote me and gave me his phone number. So I have to call him. I am a very shy person and I have to get up the nerve to call him. Cause his ad sounds very good...so I am crossing my fingers!
