This is Oscar, my husband was out in the desert and watched someone drive in and drop him off and leave!!!!! So my husband picked him up and we've been spoiling him like rotten and he is the sweetest thing I can't believe someone wouldn't want him! He's awesome and I'm so happy he came into our lives :)

THE DOG ATE MY SWAPS!

Yes, it's true , I swear , my dog ate my swaps! I had them all done and laying out on the table , they just needed to be packaged and off they were going! I had spent several hours finishing them the night before :( My husband calls and says " Ummm...I had to go do a bid and , it's just down the street sooooo I thought that I could just leave Oscar (our one year old boxer) inside cuz I wasn't gonna be gone THAT long.......and it's so hot outside, but ummm he ate your bamboo candle...and there's green tea and tea bags everywhere and glitter? I wonder how he got those?" As soon as he said it my heart sank! "NOOOOOO I cried! noooot my swap stuuuuff!!! @$#$%^$%!!! I was sending them out today! He ate everything but thank goodness a journal that I had made, I can't believe it ,he didn't get into the kitchen trash or tear up toys just the swap stuff!
Sooo, if any of my swap partners are reading this I am going to be late sending everything out but I promise promise I am on top of it and you will get your swap gifts :)As soon as I get home I will post a picture of the little stinker himself!
