Goodbye, My Baby Selena :(
So about a month ago, Joe has been having a hard time with Selena because well, it's not his dog, it's his three other roommates but (not) surprisingly, they're NOT feeding her. Three weeks ago, NONE of them fed her for four days (insert me cursing like a mother bear) and a week before that, the apartment manager saw they had a dog and it's not allowed on the apartment grounds but they still wanted to keep her but of course, no one's taking care of her. Joe has work AND school and the three other guys are going to start football season so they are going to be gone ALL day so who's going to take care of her? It'll be really hard and it broke my heart that she hasn't eaten in four days. Yeah, yeah, people keep telling me "she's just a dog" ... STOP RIGHT THERE, that's where I draw the line and punch you in the face. She may be "just a dog" but she's an innocent dog that did NO harm to anyone, doesn't bark and is trained. The only thing that I hate about Selena living in that tiny shitty apartment is that they beat her A LOT because she chews stuff up and whatnot. UM, NEWSFLASH. SHE'S ONLY THREE TO FOUR MONTHS OLD (judging by her teeth since she still has her baby teeth) OF COURSE SHE'S GOING TO CHEW STUFF. SHE'S TEETHING. -_- Also, you'd have to be stupid to let your stuff lie on the floor like your headphones, anything with wires, anything that looks interesting... Everything looks interesting to a puppy. So you have to puppy proof your home just like how you'd baby proof your home for toddlers.
But we ended up going to the store and buying her food (since I almost did it myself since those guys wouldn't do it for her) and even though she's not my responsibility, I cannot stand a starving dog. I JUST CAN'T. That's one thing Joe was "afraid" of is that I'd spoil her. IT'S NOT SPOILING. It's called "giving her attention" and playing with her. She listened to me, she followed me and she understood what I wanted her to do. I played with her, I napped several times with her and I just gave her SO much love which she NEEDED. She needs guidance because she's just a puppy! But Joe was serious about giving her away... Since they can't have her because it's against the apartment rules and they were already given a three-day notice. The three day notice was either the dog leaves or everyone moves out.
Three weeks ago (I think), Joe saw his usual customers that come by his work (a gas station) and they happened to own a animal shelter (more like an animal ranch for rescues) and they were interested and saw pictures and actually got to see her so a few days after they were notified about Selena and met her, they decided to take her in.
A week after that, she got adopted by the Riverside Police Station! Soooooo she's going to be a guard dog and a rescue dog! I'm bittersweet about it because I was excited to go to Joe's house now because of her but with her gone, I'm sad but I'm happy that she's being adopted by the police station and is being trained and loved by so many people and is going to do some serious work for the good. So I'm happy for her but I do miss her a lot. :(

Elder Jeffery and FHE
Saturday (3/17): It was freaking storming! Rain, wind, hail, more rain, thunder and it was super gloomy and dark but it was Elder Jeffery's last day with me before he transfers to Manifee to finish is last six weeks of his missionary. So I walked in the rain to Subway to meet up with them to do a little lesson and it was a little weird because a lot of people saw us and were probably wondering, "What are these Mormons doing in a Subway? Why are they reading the Bible in Subway?!" but it's whatever. At least we bought food. So, chill your undies.
Sunday (3/18): It was church and I had a gift for Elder Jeffery. I wanted to give it on Saturday because that was the last day and I wasn't sure if he was going to drop by the church but I texted him and asked and he said that he's going to drop by to get Elder Gregor and say 'goodbye' to me. AWWWWW! So I took that chance to give him the gift. It's a booklet of little illustrations called "A New Look on Mormonism" and it was made waaaay back when Mrs. Davis' mom had it so it's kinda old. And when we were doing a lesson at the Bishop's house, Mrs. Davis showed it to us (Elder Jeffery, Elder Preator and Elder (Michael) Plotkin and I) and we all loved it and I decided that since we're all so close, I printed them each a booklet so it'll be like just us who know about it and it all had a letter in an envelope too. When I handed it to Elder Jeffery, he had this incredible smile and was so happy and excited because he remembered the night we had that lesson and it was hilarious. Hahahaha. He said that he will add me on Facebook in six weeks. LOL. And Elder Preator liked it but he kind of had to put it in the car instead of carrying it around church (Boo!) but I wanted to give it to him because I don't know when he's leaving and his birthday is on April 22nd (I feel like a stalker) and I gave Michael Plotkin his copy because I know he's leaving for his mission on April so I wanted to give it to him because I don't want to wait and then he suddenly leaves. So, yay!
Me: I hate how Elders suddenly leaves when you've build a bond and make friends with them.
Indigo: Yeah, that happens.
Me: Why do they change companions or suddenly change locations and not tell you?
Indigo: Because we're not suppose to get too familiar with one specific person or people and it's suppose to be there so that the guys don't build bonds with pretty girls.
Me: Ohhhhhh! No wonderrrrrr! No wonder at my baptism, when I saw the Elders, I was so happy that I almost hugged them but I remembered it's a BIG no-no.
Indigo: Exactly.
* So sad. Well, soon enough, they don't be Elders so then the rule is off! Hahaha. Yay!
** OH! Since we have General Conference on the 31st and the 1st of April, some people might be going up to Utah to witness it. So I'm thinking of some people to find and go with so I can see Indigo! And we can go to General Conference together! Let's hope it works! Because General Conference only happens every six months so... :(
Today (3/19): We have FHE tonight! Yes! So, since the ladies won the trivia game last week... That means that the guys have to make us dinner and they announced that they will be making us carnita burritos and chalupas! MMMM, SOME BOMB MEXICAN FOOD! I'm excited. So tonight, we have Institute/Bible study and then dinnerrrrrrrr! So I'm just chilling until it's 7pm (Institute starts at 730pm) and 8pm is dinner. ksldjfkjsd;lfjasdfjsdfdslsdjfds, so hungry! I have to fast until the end of the month because that's when I get money. Sigh. Life sucks without money. Lol.
