He loves me!!!
Yesterday was a difficult day for Leah the new mommy. I had to walk the puppy six times in the pouring rain, and drive him across town against his better wishes, and he threw a tantrum in the car, and then my errand was all for naught because the brochures weren't REALLY printed, and i forgot to ask if he REALLY had them ready, because i obviously should have called a THIRD time, but i didn't cuz i'm such a crappy manager. I got to feeling like i just can't DO IT ALL!!! and then i called Dan at band practice and left about five messages on his voice mail in various levels of sobbing. That's what you get when you marry a lunatic, sucker!
Things have just been a little trying at work this week, what with the TRYING to do three people's jobs and TRYING not to kill myself in the process. The good news is that when it's not raining and overwhelming, the puppy brings us so much joy, simply by wagging his tail and following us around. When i came home last night he jumped around like he was so glad to see me! Why doesn't Dan do that? I would like it if i walked in the door and he shook his little bum at me.
baseball love
I have come to terms with the abrupt end of the Red Sox season, and I love baseball again. Now, if only the Astros could win a game or two so things could keep going this year for a little while longer; but in any case, I'm all ready for next season! (As an aside, why on earth do these games start so late?! It's already way past my bedtime, and they're only in the 5th. The World Series could end tonight, and I wouldn't even know about it until I read it in the papers! Only we don't even get the papers here, so I don't know what I'd do.)
On the puppy front, we've started giving him ice to gnaw on. It stops his gums from hurting so much--poor little guy--and it keeps him from resorting to his other favorite teething tool: rocks. I have mixed feelings about these minerological tastes of his: one the one hand, rocks won't fill his little digestive tract with splinters like sticks and bark mulch probably do, but on the other, if he does swallow em it probably wouldn't be good. Plus, it's eating rocks. I'm taking him for his first vet visit tomorrow; I think I'll ask if it means our dog is crazy.
