A Fine Line

I have realized recently that I am just THIS SIDE of looney! People who know me may be saying "Well Duh! We've known this for quite some time". But now I know!

I have always been obsessive about some things, like checking my purse repeatedly to make sure my keys are there. I tell myself..."Don't have to look again, they're in there" and what do I do? Check again...twice.

Being a part of this rescue has fed into my tendency towards obsession.

I look every day at how many dogs we have.
I obsess about how many need foster homes.
I obsess even more about the seniors who need foster homes (ROCKO!!!)I obsess about how we can raise more money to help.

Jenna shares my obsession and although I think she beats me in the obsessive department, I am a VERY CLOSE second.

Thank goodness I can use my obsession toward good and not evil! If I were evil, I would be thinking in my diabolical mind about how I could abduct Moseby without Denise EVER knowing it was me!

I have also realized that I am quite the gifted stalker!

I find that I have absolutely no patience when it comes to getting answers; especially when it comes to helping the dogs. You can ask the charity coordinator for the marathon....she probably hides under her desk in fear whenever my number shows up on her caller id! I mean...I know this is the 4th time I'm calling, the last being only 3 minutes ago but really...I need answers NOW!

I checked the Marathon site every day to see if any new participants signed up. Up until Friday I was SERIOUSLY freaking out about whether we would get enough people (We needed 20). I was very excited on Saturday when I checked to see that we have TWENTY EIGHT!!! Woo HOO! I don't have to stalk people anymore. (NO! I am not the crazy woman who was seen chasing after people screaming: YOU WANT TO RUN A MARATHON TO HELP HOMELESS GOLDEN RETRIEVERS?!)

So I am ok with being considered looney when it comes to Goldens. It's good to be passionate, right? Just be very glad that I stay on this side of the looney line...otherwise you would all have to worry.

Now...back to figuring out how to airlift Moseby out of the yard using helium balloons........
