Right now I’ve got a little bit of company. First off I have Pearl.

Pearl is a purebred Beagle that we got from the SPCA last September when she was just under three months old. Now that she’s just over a year old we’re still waiting for her to CALM THE HELL DOWN. For the record, when people say that Beagles are “stubborn” they’re being polite and toning it down because in all honesty, stubborn is not a strong enough word for it. Hyper and overactive combined with years and years of genetics which make them ignore you completely while out on a walk makes for an interesting dog. She’s lucky she’s cute and is having more good days than bad ones lately because for awhile I had considered trading her in for a nice quiet goldfish.

(Pico, my Blogathon monitor, has a Beagle too, so she inspired me to share!)

Swimming doesn’t look like it’s likely to happen today which is too bad since I was looking forward to blogging poolside, but on the other hand it might have ended up really tiring me out so maybe it’s not so bad. Hayley’s still over there since she slept over but Breanna is keeping me company too.

George put a computer together for the kids not too long ago because we didn’t want them using ours (I need mine for work and George needs his for work and for creating music) so now they have their own. It blows my mind how well my three year old child can navigate her way through games.

Who’s keeping you company today?
