So I'm super excited. Valentine's day is the day that Cody (my husband) and I went out on our very first date so of course I wanted to do something special. Well it finally hit me! I'm going to make a whole roasted suckling pig and surprise him. He LOVES suckling pig but has only had it once and has been begging me to make it since we started dating. Only problem is I don't have any pregnant sows and my feeder hogs are to old/heavy for that particular use. I'm hoping I can find someone who will have some ppiglets on the ground Feb 10 and is willing to let one go early. Combined with butchering and cleaning the carcass it could take 4 or 5 days especially since I will have to try and keep it a secret. And before anyone starts.... Pigs make yummy meat... I like butchering/raising my own meat. I don't think my family could survive as vegetarians lol

Well.... I'm not posting as much with most of my characters (except Silera) mostly because I'm feeling really uninspired right now. Plus have an insane amount of stuff to do so that makes it difficult lol

Guys my husband's grandma had a heart attack this morning and we're heading to the hospital. I probably won't be posting for a little while.

I have realized I am a horrible host. My cousin doesn't like dogs inside... I have 3 very large indoor dogs. I caught my cousin putting them out into the backyard. I made it clear that the dogs live here and he does not. They have priority over him and he can deal with it or leave. He left and I feel much more relaxed.

Today is a very sad day. Honestly, (and strangely) I want to cry. My sister-in-law is with my husband's brother who is the white trash, loser of the family. He beats her... Bad. Last week she came to our house covered in bruises at 2 in the morning. She is mostly blind in one eye because he took a bunch of cleaning chemicals and alcohol and poured them on her face while she was asleep. Not to mention he has actually pulled a gun on her. This is the guy my husband beat with a baseball bat after he came to our house chanting "White power" and told him I should be run out of the country because I'm "Mexican". Anyways, she stays because of her daughter but this last time I finally convinced her to leave and even offered to let her stay in one of our rental houses for free. Today she found out she's pregnant again... She's decided to stay with him.

Soo this may sound weird but... One of my dogs has it out for my husband... LOL Rika is a low content WD, I have had him for over 6 years and he's been the only constant male in my life that entire time. When we lived with my dad he would act like my dad (and really anybody else) was put on this earth to serve him and nothing else. He has a way of looking at you that makes you feel like he's a 100 ft tall and could squish you like a bug. He has recently moved in with us after staying with my parents for the last year and seriously he and my husband are clashing. My hubby claims Rika is "looking down" down on him and that Rika thinks he's stupid. Rika isn't being aggressive but he is going out of his way to make Cody look like an idiot. Is it wrong that I'm finding the whole situation hilarious??

Ok everyone, I'm going to need all the luck you can throw at me. I let my dog Blue out to use the bathroom and got sidetracked. We heard someone outside and now she is gone! Please, please, please pray that she has fallen asleep somewhere we can't find her (she's deaf so she can't hear me). I don't know what I'm going to do if someone stole her but I know it won't be good!

3 am in the fucking morning and I'm taking food to my sister who is working all night.... I'm going to shoot the person who dares say I'm not a completely awesome sister

Happy thanksgiving!!! I hope everyone had a good day with family and friends!!! My husband and I went to see his parents and my sister-in-law and I skipped out after the meal for some horsey time XD We had a small photo shoot with Keme and I'm waiting on the results lol

Yes, I am gushing but I have the most adorable daughter/dog package EVER!!! I'll be honest, Blue acts more like an older sister to Arya than she does a pet. Considering Blue is about 3 weeks older, it's funny. And Arya just adores Blue! Her first word was Doggy!! Today during breakfast Arya ate until she was full and then started feeding pieces to Blue and Blue, who just last week turned a year, took each piece so carefully that Arya's tiny fingers never touched her teeth. I'm so happy that they love each other so much... I hope Blue is to Arya what my dog Kougra was to me when I was growing up.

Sorry for the combination of no/shitty posts today. I woke up and my day was bad from the start and ended up going to spend my day at the pasture.

Ugh I'm super, incredibly stressed at the moment. My husband hasn't worked much the last few weeks so we had to give up on getting my Doberman puppy. Unfortunately, the lady kept sending me pictures of the dog and even told me she'd drop the price to 300. My stupid self decided yes, we'll take him but I also volunteered to take his brother who is slightly special needs. So not only am I getting two puppies but I have to come up with 300 by friday. Sometimes I want to hit myself with a bat >_>

My tiny child, who has a mouthful of brand new teeth, just bit the fire out of my shoulder while I was carrying her... Unfortunately I reacted like I would've with my animals. A loud mean sounding "NO!" and smack to the hands later she's mad at me and doesn't want me picking her up.

My family is small but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I have Cody, Arya, Blue, Keme and, the newly named, Varick. :)

Well... Today my husband gave me an ultimatum... No more animals. Let me point out I have 1 dog, 1 horse and 1 rat. He then went on to elaborate that I could only have one more rat. I asked him what about the other dog we'd agreed on getting... Blue is lonely and misses having a dog to play with so we'd been looking. He told me that it was final... No more dogs. Tbh I was kinda stunned... He's never told me no before... (I am spoiled) but I decided to let it go. Earlier today he handed me an envelope and told me to open it... Inside was the picture of the most adorable young Doberman puppy EVER!! Turns out the reason I can't have anymore dogs is because he already bought one for me :) Our new baby will be weaned and brought home Dec. 8th!! I feel so lucky to have such an amazing man... Even if he did limit our household to 2 rats, 2 dogs and 1 horse.... Maybe if I'm lucky I can convince him to even it out lol

Ok, I just have to write this... I LOVE my horse... <3 Keme is the most amazing and perfect horse a person could ever ask for and I'm not the only one who knows it!! Everyone who rides him or watches him be ridden wants to buy him. I have several people who made me promise to tell them if I ever have to sell him. He's just so patient, thoughtful and generally an extremely kind horse. I mean he's a complete jackass if you don't know him and he likes to play around and act like he's going to dump you on your ass but when it comes down to the line he's careful. For example, many of you know that I had a very harsh injury several years ago while training a horse. Basically, I cracked my spine. Anyways, Keme is the first horse, I've trained and now ride, since the injury. I'm a very timid rider because of the injury and he knows it. He'll neigh and throw a temper tantrum but no matter what he has NEVER tried to run off with me, and everytime I start getting nervous he'll immediately slow down or stop what he's doing. He never stops suddenly, always slowly as if he's afraid I'll fall off and then turn his head and touch my knee as if to ask if I'm ok. I'm just so happy I have this horse... I honestly don't think I could get back into riding if it weren't for him.

I caught the flu :( I probably won't be posting today...

I can't think of anything I hate more than living near my parents. We have never had a good relationship and my mother, who even went so far as to leave early at my wedding and just plain not come to my baby shower, suddenly wants to do everything with my daughter. She still criticizes me for everything and when she comes to visit she'll leave soon as she knows Arya is taking a nap. What's worse? I miss the country... Going months without seeing them because they don't bother driving 45 mins out of their way even though they drive 3 hours every weekend to see my brother's soccer game. I miss the quiet and not so many people. I miss that the neighbors were always friendly and my dogs were safe. Today one of my dogs got out while I was gone. My dad found her wandering my front yard... Not only did he not try to catch her but he didn't even bother to pick up the phone and call me to tell me she was out. Now she is gone and I can't find her... This never would've happened back in Campobello. There the people looked out for each other... And my dogs loved it there. They never bothered to leave.

I'm going to Honduras!!!! :D I miss my family there and my husband and daughter have an appointment to get their passports next week. I can't wait to show my little family around my homeland and possibly convince my husband that relocating would be awesome. Hell yea to Las Islas de Roatán!!!

Ugh so I have been keeping a dog and her 8 puppies for this guy I know. When he brought them I told him it was only for a few days, no longer than that because I don't want puppies running around. He told me she was housebroken, had flea meds, dog friendly, not an escape artist. He lied out his ass. This dog has made my dog's life a living hell for the better part of 3 weeks. The pups have opened their eyes and started to wander, EXACTLY what I didn't want. He has not come to see his dog since dropping her off. She is NOT housebroken and as soon as she gets outside she runs to the fence CLIMBS it and disappears for a few hours ignoring my calls. Oh! And she has fleas so now my back room is infested, not to mention destroyed by her chewing and the fact she uses the bathroom there without a problem. She comes inside and immediately uses the bathroom. I told him two weeks ago that she needs to go. She's still here, worse she now has an infection in her teats, they are red and swollen and the puppies are looking skinny! Idk what to do at this point! He won't come get her and I'm one-more-attack-on-my-dog away from taking her and her pups straight to the pound.
