Is it really so difficult to be Positive?

Okay, it has almost been a week since my baby Rocco (English Bulldog) passed away. It is hard to walk through the halls or even sleep in my room without thinking of him... I miss his snoring at night, the way he would slowly walk down the hall, occasionally bumping into things, and of course his cuddles! I still miss him dearly, and today, William and I began growing some flowers that we will plant near his grave.. It is very different without my poky little friend, but I am trying to be more positive... 

On Tuesday (the day after the horrible Valentine's Day), Diego and I went for his immigration appointment. We were told that we didn't have enough evidence that we were "together" for love and I was asked to get affidavits from family and friends as well as any other information that would show that we are truly together. Once I have these papers then hopefully Diego will finally be able to get his Green Card...

Continuing on about the trying to be positive thing... I have decided that I am going to try and lose some of this weight... I am "secretly" exercising about 30 minutes - an hour each day and trying to be more healthy... although I think it may kill me! So, I will try to keep it up and maybe write about it here sometimes... but I kinda prefer to keep this type of subject more private.... 

Okay.. now to something that has been bothering me... This is a question for 100's of Oklahomans.. (and possibly other Americans...) WHY DO YOU ALL CALL YOUR DOGS TANK?!?!?!?! That is the worst name you could ever give an animal and yet almost EVERYWHERE I look in this state there is a dog named Tank.... Mucca's name was "tank" when we got him... Apparently my poor Rocco's name was originally "Speicher" which in German means "tank" ... not to mention there are at least 2-5 animals on craigslist everyday whose name is TANK... are you people really that unimaginative? That is about the same as calling a dog "Spot".... it is getting old people... 

Now I am done with my little rant... I will be taking Taylor to school tomorrow in Oklahoma City so I guess I should be getting to sleep... Hope you all have a great President's Day Weekend!
