My other obsession...

I love old Betty Crocker books. I think it all started when I got the "Cooky Book". From there I've picked only a few up at either the Friends bookstore (I've been lucky to grab them right away since I do the sorting), garage sales or antique stores. I try to focus on 1st printings, 1st editions but 1st editions are harder to come by. Some of the things that were being made are just blame gross: tuna jello salad?! But the tips to keep your working husband happy are very funny!

Here is the little man that started my obsession with adopting:





I know several (if not all) people in my family find my love of animals strange. Look at this dog though! How can you NOT find love in your heart for it? I am hoping to get my pomeranian sometime this spring. I decided to wait until after I am off the Friends of the Library board. It will give me more time to spend with it. I already know where I'll go to get it. There is a really nice place in Idaho that breeds dogs. I may contact them now since in the contract you have to sign it states that if you do not want your dog anymore instead of giving it to the pound you must return it to them. It might be nice to see if they have a dog a little older than a puppy so I don't have to deal with the whole potty training thing. If not, I'm ready! I've been reading and researching so I know what to do!
