Pancakes.Dogs.ChristmasCards

This post really has nothing to do with fitness, in fact it has more to do with eating, adopting dogs (not us, sadly) and getting in the Christmas spirit!

However, before I continue with my random thoughts for the day, I ask that if you read my blog that you follow me!  I'd love to know how many people are actually reading this little blog, I know it's more than 3, so click that little button and let me know my words go out to more than 3 people!

So all week I had been craving pancakes!  I know, super random, but I eat eggs every day for  breakfast and I just wanted PANCAKES!  So Sunday we headed out to OPH in Portland (for all you Salem folks so know how wonderful OPH is!).  I ordered blueberry pancakes, Matt got banana pancakes and we shared.  SO WORTH THE CALORIES!!  We then headed over the Family Dogs New Life shelter in Portland to look at a dog for Matt's mom and stepdad.  Check out their website here: Family Dogs New Life Shelter.  They are such a wonderful, no-kill shelter that LOVES PITBULLS!  They post fabulous videos, called piteos, of all the pits they rescue and we love every last one of them!  Here's a truth, I asked for a puppy for Christmas (an adopted, pit bull puppy).  Matt said not until we have a bigger house, then I can rescue all the dogs I want (or something close to that, but sounds good to me!).

Here is the dog Mary and Brian adopted!!!

 His name was Tad, but the renamed him Murphy!  So freaking cute, and yes that is one mean underbite!  I'm so excited for them and for Murphy, the perfect happy ending to our Sunday!
