Here are some pictures from this past week.
Here is Sophie on the couch which is a big "no-no". For some reason she will jump up there after Laura has gone to bed. She knows I don't have the heart to tell her to get down. Isn't she just the cutest dog???
Here is our *NEW* fish aquirium. It's a 29 gallon tank. We bought it today with our "winnings" from the casino. (more about that at the end of the pictures)
Here is our usually calm dog. Laura thought she would "share" her Subway with her. As you can see..when food is involved Sophie turns into a rabid dog who you would think hasn't been fed in weeks. As you can see Laura is very shocked at Sophie's reaction. This will teach Laura to try to share her food with Sophie.
Here is Sophie eyeing Laura's sandwich. She looks so innoncent.
Here is Sophie when I did tell her to get off the couch. I believe this look clearly says, "fuck you, I am comfortable." So, today Laura and I decided to go to the casino. We went with $200. $100 for each of us. Laura plays blackjack and I try my luck at the slots. Usually she is the one that comes out ahead. We had been there for probably 1 1/2 hours. I still had $50 in my pocket and I am playing with the same $20 for the past thirty minutes. I have managed to get it up to $60. So, that is $110. She comes down from the blackjack tables and says she has $35. We decide to go to the video poker. Her money is gone quick. I hand her $20. (keep in mind it is very rare that I have to give her money at the casino..she usually comes out ahead) I realize I am losing my money at the video poker. I go over to the 50 cent slots. I still have the $60 when she comes over and says she is done. As we are walking out she knows I still want to play the slots. She says..."you know we will walk out of here with $60..that is good." I told her I wanted to run it down to $40 and then we would go home. I walk over to this machine I had been playing for most of the night. I am there for probably 15 minutes when I hit a jackpot. I ended up walking out with $232 dollars. As soon as the jackpot came up we both looked at each other and said, "we are out of here". And off we went. We decided over lunch to go and get the aquarium we have been wanting for a long time. We got it set up and we will let it sit for about 4 days and then slowly add fish. Finally, we have something to show for our hard work at the casino.

It's interesting that I just happened across your blog. I used to be a JW, too. I'm not disfellowshiped but I just stopped going to meetings. I got sick of the lifestyle I had grown up with. Since I stopped being a JW I pretty much don't like any organized religion at all. I think they are all the same and I keep my distance from all religous people in general.
Anyway ... it sounds like you are much happier now. Good for you. :)
Our dogs are supposed to be floor dwellers too. They are allowed on our old futon, which I thought was a big cave in to begin with. But our little white dog, just keeps pushing and testing the limits.
Congrats on your casino winnings. Enjoy the fish tank.
Congrats with the casino winnings. My dog was king of my bed.
Congrats on the big win!!!
Wow, your dog turns into Cujo when food is involved huh???
We have cats & they sit any place they want...you can't train cats really.
Looks like you aren't the only one with JW problems...Anonymous is right there with you. I agree with Anon...I keep my distance from all people who claim religion strongly...they are usually judgemental freaks!

Congrats at the casino! Whoohoo!!
Our "kids" rule our place and sleep wherever they want ~ on the bed, the couch, the chairs, etc. Our only rule is no cat or dog is allowed on the counters or table.
What an adorable puppy! I wouldn't have the heart to tell her NO either!
Hi there. I just started a new blog for gay and lesbian ex-JW's. Check it out. I also have a personal blog at michaelmeadows.blogspot.com
Ciao!
anonymous--good for you for getting out..keep in mind..you can still have a good relationship with God and not be associated with a religion
zoe--sophie used to be allowed on the couch, bed and anything she wanted..laura has brought some control back into the house..but it's still hard when she gives me that sad little look
sweet angel--thanks for the congrats...
packof2--yes sophie does get "aggressive" around food. i used to have another dog (he died in 2003) and she was so aggressive with him around food
teena--sophie used to be able to do whatever she wanted..that is why she thinks Laura is leader of the pack and I am just another bitch in the pack
escribo--she is cute..now you see why i have a hard time saying no to her
mike--thanks for stopping by
