Well it seems I have a soft heart lately. A lot of my coworkers have tickets to Rockets games and Rodeo performances and they haven’t felt like going. So instead of me taking them for myself, I had decided to give them away to friends that I know will go and appreciate it. I’ve posted them on Facebook and emailed friends. It has worked out really well: 4 tickets to Miranda Lambert, 4 tickets to Zac Brown Band, 2 tickets to the Rockets game on Wednesday night and 2 tickets to this Sunday’s night game. I know I didn’t purchase these tickets but I could have also let them go to waste instead of offering them to others that would like to go.
Carrying on this same theme, I was on the way home from the gym last night and ran into a big Husky running in the middle of Kingwood Drive. The dog definitely looked lost and out of place, he was far away from any subdivision entrance when I came across him. A couple cars went around him and I got to thinking someone is going to miss this big guy when they get up in morning. So I turned the hazards on and parked my truck in the right lane on Kingwood Drive so I could load him up. He was really friendly and jumped right in. The dog had to weigh around 100 lbs, he was a big boy. He started licking my face and what not as I was trying to read the phone # off his collar. The dang dog would not sit still so I had to remove his collar to get the phone #. The phone number listed was to his vet and not to his owners, so I called Bambi and told her I’m bringing a big dog home tonight!

| Charlie |
Stormy and Shiloh were petrified as expected, they are not fond of bigger dogs. They were scared for their life but the big Husky named Charlie was friendly and just wanted to play. We had to keep the dogs separated due to our spoiled dogs wouldn’t share their space with him. Bambi called the vet this morning and found out he was 10 month old Husky named Charlie. The owners came and got him but they even offered if we needed a pretty white dog. I was glad we found the owners but not glad they really don’t want the dog. I’m sure they will remove his tag when they get home so next time he gets loose, he doesn’t get traced back to them. But a 100 lb. Husky is the last thing we need right now.
I was asking myself why I’m trying to help others more so lately and I can’t really figure it out. I mean, we've always been ones to unselfishly give and do. It may be circumstance or me coping with losing the baby. Bambi and I try to be really nice people and do the right things. We live our life that way, I would much rather give than to receive. I just wish I had more to give.
