Ain't that cute?

Okay, I just had to share a cute story.  This evening my husband and I were having a "discussion" about our finances.  Actually, since we came home from work there was a bit of tension in the air (long story, he wanted to buy another pair of boots - he has like 5 - that were on sale for $160... we are in debt payment mode and I said he didn't need them).  The tension was not loud, but we were just being very civil to one another and not wasting words.  So, after dinner we go to the living room to "talk."  It wasn't even a loud/shouting kind of fight.  As we started at it, I saw our dog go to our bedroom.  Normally at night she now creeps in there and jumps on the bed when we're not looking, so I assumed she had done so.  Anyways, back to our conversation, we really didn't fight but it was obvious that neither of us was happy with the other.  Finally we resolve things (for now) and leave the living room.  DH goes to the bedroom to get something, comes out and then asks where Kaya is.  I said I thought she was on the bed.  We go to the bedroom and see this little head peeking out from under the bed, with an expression that clearly says, "Is it safe to come out now????"  She is SOOOOO sensitive!  She came out with her head down and tail tucked between her legs and we had to literally pour affection out to her before she was back to her normal self.  It was the cutest thing I have ever seen!!!  She didn't want us to fight.  How do dogs know?  We had a previous dog who, as a puppy, came and stood between DH and me one time when had raised his voice at me.  He basically was telling DH that he was going to defend me at all costs.  Sometimes I just love animals!

By the way, is it just me or have so many bloggers achieved newly pregnant status lately?  Almost every blog I turn to is BFP all of a sudden.  And, surprisingly, they all leave me so hopeful!  If they can do it, so can we!  I was a magazine cover while buying groceries today and the caption read, "This is Your Year."  I know it's so cliche, and I don't believe in signs like that, but I don't care.  Right now, I'll take it!
