HumpDay

It seems like Thursday, but then again, I'm sort of surprised that it's already Wednesday. How does that work?

Yesterday proved rather exciting--I ended up taking Delilah to the vet's in the afternoon for a quick checkup after seeing some nasty poo (with bits of blood). She's fine, so they say...probably just an irritated colon caused by, what else? Wood chips and pinecones. So I will be a better enforcer and not allow these things to get in her tummy in the first place. I picked up all the pinecones I could find in the yard, and this evening I think I'll go after the wood chips. I shudder to think what she'll find to chew on once I take those away, but I'm sure I won't have long to wonder.

I picked Delilah up from the vets around 5:45 (worked late in order to make up for the time I took off to take her in), went home and ate like the plate was on fire, and took off to pick up Bucket from daycare. He's always so pooped that he can't even jump up into the truck! Got Bucket home, crated him up and took Delilah to the dog park. She did really well until two other dogs got in a fight, and while their ridiculously helpless owners looked on in dismay, she jumped into the fray. She wasn't really fighting--she was just trying to "dominate" one of the dogs. Of course I charged right in and pulled her off--all the while the other owners are ineffectually shouting "Buddy, NO! Bad dog! Stop that!" as though it would really do any good. This kind of thing absolutely infuriates me!! grrrr. We'd been there for about a half an hour and had made the rounds a couple of times, so I took her out to the park across the street and walked her on her leash until she calmed a bit. When we got home (at 8:30!!!), I had two pooped puppies. They crashed all evening long!

I packed one box. And played. Shannon, I think my reward system is skewed! I figure I deserve to play for making through a day of work, but then I can't stop once I've started... :) If I hadn't gotten home so late I really think I'd have gotten something done. I really do. Tonight will test that theory, for as far as I know I'm headed right home after work!

Wow, I can ramble.
