She comes home Friday. Welcome her, people.

Hey maybe I could actually talk about her. What do you think? Yes? No? Oh well, it’s my website.

This (above) is a picture of the newest member of my apartmenthold. Her name is Ethel. She’s Lucy the Hedgehog’s counterpart so it was only ethical and right and good (and kind of silly) for her to be named that.

She’s coming from a shelter in Sevier County, Utah. Here’s the listing on PetFinder.com (and I highly recommend them for petfinding):

This sweet little gal was abandoned along with the rest of her litter and mom when their human family moved away. Ashland and Alex her brother are the only two still waiting for their new families. Her mom was a 25-30 lb Terrier/Bassett mix, and who her father was, nobody knows! She is doing great with her crate training and her foster thinks she will be easy to housetrain. She is still a little shy but she is more outgoing and affectionate of the two. She just need someone that will give her lots of love and a little time to warm up to them.

She’s three months old so she still has some growing to do. The gals at the shelter think she won’t get bigger than 40 lbs. She’s being spayed today and they’re bringing her up to Salt Lake City on Friday, so that’s when she’s coming home. To a very barren and cold and empty apartment. But I will be in it. And love is all we need, right? Well, that and some milkbones. I’ve got that covered.

Also, if you want to help carry some really heavy stuff, you’re welcome to. Or I could just burn it all on my balcony and buy new. Also (hence the really obnoxious comments), I’m moving this weekend/early next week. I’m scared. And unprepared. But that’s the way Ashley does things, folks. Surprise!

So, sweet Ethel is going to have a rough weekend. I don’t expect her to be on her best behavior, but if any of you could maybe send some good vibes her way, that would be really great. Because, her best behavior would be awesome, really. Thanks.

Also, get to welcoming her and start making appointments to meet her and play with her and love her and buy her owner pretty things.
