Because sometimes you'll lick your finger and think, "Oh man, WHAT was that?"
I have yet to meet someone who does not tell Milo he is cute. Because he is. And some say, "You are cute," like they can't believe they think he's cute. Corgi's are cute dogs. And they are sweet. Milo, however, doesn't know he's supposed to be sweet. This morning he was full of piss and vinegar - not vinegar so much as piss - but he made me break a sweat. And it's hard because I want to teach him correctly, and I'm learning just as much as he is about what works and what doesn't. I don't yell at him, and if I catch myself raising my voice I stop talking. I've never spanked him or yelled at him for pottying on the floor. If I catch him, though, I'll say NO and take him outside. Tonight he actually sat in front of the door, which made me so happy. I can't believe he's learning this fast, though, so maybe it's just a fluke.
Today I had to give another $500 in earnest money on pushing the closing date on the house to the 13th of next month. Then the title company called me and said, We can't take this check, we need a money order. So I have to try to get one this weekend. School starts next month, and I have to pay $700 for that. I'm thinking about trading my truck in, but everytime I really start thinking about it I get sick to my stomach. I applied for a part-time job at a record/book/video store today to supplement my income. If there is ever one thing, just ONE THING I can teach someone, it's do not ever, EVEREVER get a credit card. EV. ER.
He's been asleep like that for 1/2 hour now. I don't know why he loves chewing on the middle part of that toy. It must be comfortable or he wouldn't stay like that. Last night he slept all the way through until morning without getting up to go outside. I woke up about 4 times, checking on him. I'm a nervous dog-mother.
Having a puppy is cutting into my swimming time. I wish I could take him to the pool with me. There are people at the pool that swim in their clothes. And I don't just mean they have a t-shirt on over their suit. I've seen girls get in with their jeans and shirt on. Or capri pants and shirt. Just fully clothed and they get in the pool. Since when is it okay to do that at a public pool? And I have yet to see an adult working at the pool. Everyone there is 18 and under, from the looks of it. The only thing they blow their little whistle for is running and hanging on the lane lines. The next kid that swims across my lane while I'm swimming is going to get their neck stepped on.
Last night Milo and I went to the park, did I already write about this? He's such a trooper. He gets very sassy with leaves and likes to put them in their place. He also likes telling my feet what to do, I think because they're shorter than him. He's started barking and likes to bark at me when I tell him to do something like "stop chewing on my foot" or "don't chew on my books". He barks AND turns his head, both telling me off and ignoring me. I have to stop thinking it's cute or he'll grow into a bully. I wish there was a dog park nearby so he could be dominated a little by older dogs. My friend's dog did snap at him the other day when Milo bit him, and that type of behavior could help him stop biting.
I'm really tired today, but not sure why. My butt's been dragging, figuratively and literally, since I got up this morning. Milo only woke up around 2:30am to go out, so it's not like I was up with him all night. I need to go home and take a nap before I go to sleep.
Last night I took my puppy, Milo, to my friend's house to play with her two Shelties. He wore himself out running around after them. Today I took him to the park to do some leash training and he did a great job. He pulled and whined at first, but then he trotted along after me. I'll feel better when his little legs grow and he doesn't have to run everywhere. He is just pooped now.
And Golfwidow gave me a good idea, so I took a picture of Milo next to something so you can see how little he eeess......
My date from Saturday wasn't ignoring me on IM. He was in the hospital getting his gallbladder removed. How bizarre is that? That's totally a Laverne & Shirley or Three's Company episode. I know how much that sucks from my sister, she had hers out and she was hurtin' for certain.
I feel like caca tonight, but that's good because I won't be eating dinner, which means nothing really. It's not like I'm going to LOSE 10 lbs. because I skip a meal.
It is so hot here already and it's only June. In 26 days I'll be divorced. In 30 days I'll be a homeowner.
How cute is Milo?
So, the guy I went on a date with I think has lost interest. Maybe because I'm FAT. Oh well. Men either suck or they don't, but I haven't met one that doesn't yet. Not losing hope.
I'm trying to get a picture cute enough to send in to cuteoverload.com.
But I want one that shows his little tail-less but, his little ears, his little nose, and his big paws.
I have to take him out to poop because he ate about 15 minutes ago. When you're that small food doesn't have far to travel. He's been pooping and peeing all day. I can't wait until his bladder grows up.
I survived my first date in 10 years. It went well, I thought. I got to the restaurant about 4:45pm, and ordered a beer. I mentioned to the waitress about it being sort of a blind date, and she said, "You're shaking! Do you want a shot?" but I stuck with beer. He showed up around 5pm and we chatted a bit. It was awkward, I think he was nervous too. We ate and talked and then I wanted to go back to my apartment because...........
That's my new little puppy! He's only peed on the floor a couple of times, but that's my fault. I have to pay better attention to his body language. I have to give him a name, too, and quit calling him Hey, whenever I catch him chewing. He makes such little poop, too, it's cute. So long as it stays outsdie.
From the back he reminds me of a little bear.
Hopefully we'll have another date. I enjoyed his company. We ended the date with a handshake because he has a cold and during dinner a cold sore emerged on my lip. That's how stressed I was about this date. I had fun. I hope next time is even funner. More even funnerest.
I have a date on Saturday. With a real live boy. I met him online on one of those dating websites. I'm trying not to get worked up over it.
I might get a puppy on Saturday, too.
Not that specific one, but hopefully one that color.
