Abandoning all dignity

As I approach my 39th birthday, there are days when I manifest a respectable amount of dignity. Some days I'm even professional without trying too hard. This is not one of those days. Here's why:


*throws dignity and professionalism aside, assumes annoying high-pitched voice with dramatically extended vowels*


I have a puppy! A cute, widdle, cuddly, wiggly, oooooohhh soft and fuzzy puppy! Oooo's my new widdle baby? Yoooouuuuu are! Yooooouuuuuuuuu are!!!!

My name is Loki. I'm an 11 week old Shiba Inu. I love toys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did I mention that I love toys?



 

 

 

 

 

 

My new daddy is very happy that I'm here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My new older sister, however, is NOT happy.

Angie Congrats on the new puppy! He's totally adorable.

~*~JenJenBoBin OMG He is SO adorable!!! I have Longhaired Dachshunds and a close friend of mine shows Shiba Inu's we used to see each other at the Raleigh NC shows every spring. They are sooooo sweet!!! Poor sister hopefully she will decide he is ok ... maybe she can pay him off to do her dirty work for her ;) Congrats on your new baby!! Nothing like the pitter patter of wittle paws :)

Cheryl Landmark Oh, my, goodness, what a gorgeous puppy! I've never heard of a Shiba Inu, but he or she certainly takes the prize in cuteness.

archdandy Congrats! And happy early birthday! :) We recently got a new puppy too and she is quite the handful. I never realized how similar having a new puppy and having a newborn baby is.

I'm from Knoxville as well! My sister and I will be there for the signing. Small world. :)

Christy Happy upcoming birthday, Jeaniene! Just remember, after 39 it is no longer birthdays, but anniversaries. 40 means that you are celebrating your 1st anniversary of your 39th birthday....and so on. Lol.


message 15: by NS (new)

NS Ohhhhh gorgeous! and how cute is the expression on your girl dogs face!! that is adorable, just makes you want to hug her


message 16: by S (new)

S Happy Birthday Jeaniene! For me, 39 was harder than 40 but in the end it really is all in your mind....maybe that is worse :) :).

Loki is a cutie. What is it about puppies that make semi-normal, mostly professional women go into banshee mode? I am exactly the same way. Older sister looks like she would say "GO AWAY" if she could! She will get used to her new brother....eventually.


Lura (The Life of Serendipity) Ah how cute!


message 18: by Renae (new)

Renae awww that is just too adorable. happy birthday Jeaniene. one more year in your 30's. I just turned 40 in may & it feels no different


message 19: by Julie (new)

Julie LOL! He is adorable!! I love the name Loki although it may mean you're going to have your hands full ;) His sister is also beautiful. Happy Birthday and congrats on the addition to your family.


message 20: by M (new)

M Cuteeee!!! I recently got two puppies myself!!! Two new puppies, my 10 year old dog didn't like that very much...a husky and a stray!!! They are such a joy!!! Good luck with new puppy!!! He/she is beautiful!!! <3

Charina Congrats! he looks so adorable!


message 23: by Aura (new)

Aura Aww so cute!


message 24: by Shai (new)

Shai Williams I knew that was a reason I love your books. There is just something about a person that is drawn to shibas. I rescued and provides 'basic training' to them so that they could be adopted out for year.

And your new addition to your family is gorgeous along with her big sister.

Gwen Happy Birthday Jeaniene! What an adorable puppy! Don't worry, you're not alone. I'd abandon my dignity for him too. :)


JoLee (Cozy.Sunday.Reads) Loki is adorable!


message 27: by Jen (new)

Jen Oh!! Your puppy is sooooo cute! I have a beagle and he is my baby! So I totally understand where you are coming from. Enjoy your new addition to your family!


message 28: by Tatiana (new)

Tatiana Happy Birthday Jeaniene! If you thought being in your 30's was awesome, wait until you are in your 40's for they are the new 30! I will admit that the anticipation at 39 was difficult but not a hill I could not climb and conquer. Here is to a great 39th year!

Love the new puppy and his name.

Ezi Chinny Congratulations and Happy belated bday!
Shiba Inu's are great dogs. I am so jealous. My kids are allergic to dogs so I can't get one.

Did you know that for Oprah's birthday, she gives her friends gifts? So feel free to model Oprah and gift me with Vlad Tepesh's book Night Prince. Or at least send the cover model over to read me a bedtime story. He is just....(*sighing)...I love him.

Debra Love the New Puppy!!


message 31: by Carole-Ann (new)

Carole-Ann Lovely puppy!! (we've just got a new kitten :( )

Don't worry about the 39: 40 is the beginning of the rest of your life - mature, knowledgeable, understanding, experienced - count back birthday-wise and you'll realise where I'm at!! :)


message 32: by Jackie (new)

Jackie Lane How adorable. I love puppies, but not the puppy stage so much. I have 4 Pomeranians that I love to death.
