Can one really ever have enough light sabers? I mean, some light up and some make sounds. Some do both. Some have spring action. Some come apart. Some change colors. I'm hoping they come out with one soon that can open a bottle of wine.
But I digress.
We also have a fussy little white dog who has this compulsive need to lick shoes. And shred tissues from the bathroom trash. What a freak . . . she fits right in. Add to this the rock band in the basement (oldest son plays drums), middle son who has taken up playing the saxophone, and youngest son on the autism spectrum who somehow, some way, manages to live among all of this and thrive.
We are loud - every last one of us. We laugh at odd things and circumstances. We know trivia about weird things. We are like the Adams Family without the creepy hand in the box. We think our environment is completely normal, while outsiders walk in and wonder what bizarre world they've crossed over into - and are probably eyeing the exits from the moment they enter.
Okay, so maybe that exaggerating a bit. And maybe not.
So what does a family who already lives in utter chaos much of the time do? Well, adopt a 2nd dog, of course. This is Buddy:
Buddy is coming to live with us tomorrow night because we need a little more excitement in our life.
Our little tissue-shredding, talk-like-a-wookie-when-she-wants-your-attention maltese-poodle mutt just isn't enough.
The autism isn't enough.
The middle son's mood disorder just isn't enough.
The current level of messiness isn't enough.
It's getting a little boring around here. Time to shake things up.
Don't you just wish you were me?
just look at it this way...Buddy is beautiful. Looking at that face, every morning while you enjoy your coffee, can immediately make your smile. no matter what. And THAT is why Buddy is joining your family...
ReplyDeleteBuddy will be a great addition to your family. We had a golden for a brief amount of time (she only lived 3 years). She really helped my oldest socially.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping in for a visit today from Blissfully Domestic. I, too, have boys. And there are issues. :)
