"spotted." xoxo.

Pi Phi pledge class reunion in Manhattan this weekend...very successful tailgate in even more successful t-shirts. (best ever - who knew heathered eggplant could be such a hit??)
Short Synopsis:
Forgot to wear my engagement ring because the night before it looked very nice and shiny so I didn't sleep with it on because I didn't want to un-shine it. And then we had to wake up at 4:45 in the morning to drive to Manhattan - so I forgot it. Insisted on wearing a glove on my left hand regardless of my body temperature to avoid my own personal gossip girl moment in this world : "spotted. molly mccue without her bling. trouble in paradise, taylor and molly??"( -- in Gossip Girl/Kristen Bell's omniscient voice-over voice)
Chesney told me I looked like Michael Jackson, so I took the glove off. I lived.

Moving On:
Ali Moore brought her beautiful, beautiful dog Franklin to the tailgate. He sat on Taylor's lap for 45 minutes. Taylor decides he would like a dog.
I look up breeders for miniature Australian Shepherds...I fall in love. We talk a lot about it and probably are going to wait...but here's some pics - so you, my dear reader, can fully understand the cuteness we're dealing with:


this is a small real-life sample of females available right now...all in Missouri and Kansas. (p.s. - NOT paying that much for a dog - juust wanted to show you those profiles!)
anyways - this is the debate - and the only reason it's even under consideration before we're married is because Harley, Schoon's perfect angelic dog is living under Taylor's roof and would be a great trainer/example for a puppy to grow up around.
Many pros and cons which need to be weighed, but we are so very tempted. :)
Hmmm....we'll see.

  1. You should get one!!! You will not regret it... you should look at rescues if they are really expensive. There is probably an australian sheperd rescue somewhere close and if you are not in a hurry, you can wait around for a puppy to come through. :)

  2. You'll love Aussies. That is what my Bitsey was, and she was a doll. So smart. Sometimes smarter than me....

  3. We have a mini Aussie, and he is a DOLL! We got him at the shelter here in Wichita, but they have mini aussie rescue shelters. Benton (our mini) is about 30 pounds. He's a great size, and he's SO sweet. You should check him out on my facebook pics.
