I haven't posted a set in 2 years. About the same time I lost my social life. What a coincidence!

So I met with the lovely man who would like to photograph me for a new (possibly more than one) set. I'm so excited to pose again, but I'm scared that I'm not going to be good enough, OR that I've been out of it so long that my pictures will take a backburner to the wonderful ladies who have been working their asses off for the past two years. Regardless, the photo shoot will be fun, and if that's all it ends up being, so be it. These days, I stress less about the non life-threatening stuff.

My boy, my chicken (dog) and I went to the beach and I fell in love with my dog ten times over. She's such a cheeky little bitch at home, and I swear I've had thoughts of "what am I doing? I can't handle a dog who's more neurotic than I!" lately, but she was SO GOOD! She came when she was called, she played by herself while we sat in the sun and relaxed, and she was her usual fantastic and tolerant pup around the two year old who met her and needed to stroke her ears and pat (ie- smack) her head and pull her tail and chase her. As much as it sucks having a partially-toilet trained princess in the house, there's something to be said about having a dog who is so amazingly quiet and tolerant around all children, people, and other dogs.

I'm strict with her, and we've been working so much on the training that I feel like she must hate me. But today I realize how much it's been paying off, and how happy she is, ALL the time. Today I realized that by taking her out of the home she was in, despite the day-to-day crap she and I work on, I have actually built a good home for her. I could never let her go.

I'm so smiten I think I need to include a cute Dora pic. Here she is.
