All I wanted for Christmas was a puppy!

And I got one!

Introducing.....

Matilda Beatrice Devine






Matilda's father was a champion English Bulldog weighing in at a whopping 95lbs! Unfortunately he passed away in August. Her mother is an AKC register American Pit Bull Terrier that is approximately 75lbs.

Matilda is barely 13 weeks old and almost 20lbs herself! She is super sweet and very timid. She is just getting used to us as she has been kept in an outdoor kennel with 20 other breeding dogs!

She has the prettiest green eyes and the saddest little face. She shivered in my lap the long drive home from Randleman.

If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why do they eat each other?

I was just wondering about a few things and thought I might run them by the masses...

Do you think that the real deer see all the brightly lit 'moving' reindeer and think they are ghosts?

Why do strangers always tell you to smile? What gives them the right to tell me what to do with my face? Since they have taken the liberty to tell me to change my expression, can I tell them that they really do look fat in those jeans?

If there is life on other planets why do they only reveal themselves to lowest dregs of society? You never hear a stockbroker or a senator talking about how they got anal probed by little green people.

If heat rises, why is it hotter in the south?

Who decides that it is now time to bring back link belts and leggings? Why can't we come up with some new fashions instead of recycling the same old crap that only looked good on 1% of the population in the first place?

Why in the world would someone look at a tiny newborn and decide to name it Larry or Agnes? And what are we gonna do in 50 years when we have a bunch of old women named Brittney and Taylor? Can you imagine taking your kids to see grandma Brittney? What the?

Why is it that if I want to go to the tanning bed I have to hear from everybody on the planet how bad 'those things are for me' while they are chain smoking and slamming shots of jager?

Why is it that every single 13-17 year old I've come in contact with wears black eyeliner and strategically ripped jeans while constantly taking pictures of themselves making sad faces to post on MySpace? When did being sad and not knowing how to properly apply makeup become hip?

Why do people with plain names that end in 'y' change it to an 'i'? That doesn't make you cute, it just makes you desperate for some sense of individuality. You're parents named you something boring, we all know they didn't spell it stupid like that. And if they did, why? Spell kids names normal so people won't screw them up on EVERYTHING. Take it from someone name CARLYE JADE not CARLYLE JANE.

These are just a few of the things I've been wondering about in my fits of depression mixed with new medication paranoia.
