Read more... Meet Daphne. She is our beautiful, pain in the ass 9 month old Blue Heeler. My boyfriend always wanted a Blue Heeler ever since he was a kid, and made it a mission to find one. But much to his dismay and research he discovered that Blue Heelers are reputedly a very expensive breed. Bummed out that he wasn't going to find a blue heeler he slowly forgot about it until ONE DAY while out in the country doing a satellite cable job he came across this farm that just so happened to have a littler of little Blue and Red heeler pups they were selling for ONLY $45.00 Dollars. Not prepared or expecting a new addition to be brought in he calls me and lets me know he found his pup and we were going to be picking him up that day!!! I was excited only because i hadn't owned a dog since my Dakota died a few years earlier.
He had already set the name for the pup, something i normally DONT do only because I'm a weirdo and think that a animal will more “tell you their name” by personality traits etc. Which was going to be “Sylar” after the main villain in NBC’s “Heroes” (huge fans) and he (the dog) was going to be the most awesomest bad assness of a dog that has ever walked on four legs!! Of course i didnt argue, Sylar is a cute name and for a dog, i thought it worked!!
Driving up to the little farm i noticed the little balls of fur climbing all over each other in the home made kennel and i was already in love. They were so fat and furry and i was so happy we were getting one. My boyfriend picked out “Sylar” from the bunch, paid the man and we were OFF! Holding little “Sylar” in my arms i squeezed him tight and held him up so i could scope him out…
“Um……Roland..” I said “Roland, this dog is a girl….”
Startled and very surprised Roland stops and takes a look at the underside of his “Sylar”.
“But, what is that? Isn't that his thing” he says…
At this point my amusement was clearly written all over my face as the confusion spread over Roland's as he slowly came to the realization that his Sylar, the bad ass boy dog of all bad assness was in fact……a girl. With a long look at the dog as quick as the confusion came , it went. I could tell he didn't care that dog, whatever it was had his heart and we drove off. She so from that moment she became Daphne (Named also after a Character of Heroes, the speedster, whom which Roland has the hotts for majorly. )
From the time she was little that dog was smart as shit…..at 6 weeks she could do sit and shake….i had never had a dog that did tricks so this was so freaking cool especially since she was SO LITTLE!
Now i will say she was not the first one in this family. We already had a kid. Well i already did for that matter. A fat Tabby cat by the name of Tripper. Now tripper was already about a year old and he was setting into his ways of being a bossy brat that enjoyed eating and laying around everywhere he could without being disturbed. So you can imagine how unhappy he was when we brought home this unknown thing. (he had never really been around a dog before.)It took them about a week or two but before we knew it they were beating the shit out of each other annoying the CRAP out of me….
As time went on, she grew to be this massive 50lb monster that lives to patronize me with her eyes and drive me crazy. As Cesar Milan would say she is the dominate female in this household. She does not listen to me for SHIT unless i have a treat or some kind of edible in my fingers. She likes to take clothes out of the laundry basket and drag them out into the front yard to get my attention so i will go outside to chase her around. I'm fully convinced the whole neighborhood has seen both my boyfriends and my underwears strewn across the lawn in pretty little patterns, with the occasional sock or two. I stand by this though, that dog is the smartest dog i have ever owned, and no matter of the face that she lives to drive me nuts i love that dog SO MUCH! Our Daphies….
AUTHORS NOTE: I do have to say a few things, after reviewing this post and noticing the astonishing amount of videos we have of the dog and pictures of cats in clothes and shit i will have to come to my own defense….i DO NOT normally dress my cat in a shirt and carry him in a fucking purse around town, stopping for Starbucks and or eating at cafe’s while he chills in my purse wearing a fucking shirt. It was a one time deal and i did it purely for amusement. the look on his face is priceless.
Read more...It has finally come, November in all its glory of rotating clocks back, and sleeping in that extra hour, that strangely feels like a extra four. (or is that just me)
Also with November comes the American pig out fest on the last Thursday of the month. Something i am looking forward to. The fact that i work Mon-Fri and no longer have vacation left i will be UN-able to go home…which really makes me mad, BUT it is what it is, I will be working for that triple pay. :D That sounds fantastic. JUST in time for xmas. Although i did receive a early morning txt from Roland's mom in which it said
“Thanksgiving at my house, i hope you like popcorn.”
Hummmmmmmmm, i wonder what she has in store for us this year.
Also another thing going on this month, which is turning out to be chock full of all kinds of exciting shit, is my 2 year anniversary. I think i might buy me something really nice as a reward for making it through two full years without being thrown in jail for battery or murder. I totally deserve it.
So around this time of year my mood changes for the chipper holiday spirit kind, i walk around humming merry merry Christmas and all that shit. With bells on my fucking shoes doing my best reindeer impression. (Just kidding it really doesn't go that far, BUT there are a pair of antler headbands i plan on buying) My mouth and belly ache when i think of my mom at home making home made pumpkin filled empanadas. So i found a recipe on the interwebs that i thought i would share with you just in case you wanted to make some and mail them to me. :D
Pumpkin Empanadas
1 c. cooked mashed pumpkin
1/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar 1/4 c. raisins
1/4 c. chopped nuts
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 c. unsifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. Mazola butter
6 to 7 tbsp. cold water
1 qt. (about) Mazola corn oil
2 tbsp. confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
In bowl stir together first five ingredients. In another bowl mix flour and baking powder with pastry blender or 2 knives. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle water over mixture while tossing to blend well. Divide in thirds.
On lightly floured surface roll each out to 1/16 to 1/8 thickness, cut in 3 inch circles. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin mixture onto lower half of each circle. Moisten edge. Fold top half over filling. Seal well with foil.
Pour corn oil into heavy saucepan (3 quart) filling no more than 1/3 full. Heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F. Carefully add empanadas, a few at a time. Fry, turning once, 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden. Drain on paper towels.
Mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over empanadas. Makes about 3 dozen.
ommmm nom nom nom nom
