I must say, the new dog pin is both a blessing and a curse. I'll start with the positive first -the dogs are not forced to stay in the tiny cage scrunched together. Bo and I can come and go a little easier knowing the pups have room to play during the day. However, the negative - the dogs don't run enough and they wrestle and run around the house at 100 mile per hour speeds for HOURS once we get back. And they don't stop for anything in their way. It's enough to drive me crazy. I think we're going to have to begin a nightly walk to get them over this new energy that is extra irritating.
I put the dogs outside for a bit tonight while I went to dinner with a friend, got back at 9ish. It is now midnight and the pups are finally sacked out in my lap in the recliner. Whew. I even took them out for a few runs in the backyard to blow off some of that steam and it's just now taking effect.
Unrelated to the pups...I'm getting married in 7 days. Eeek. So much to do before then. Actually less than 7. This time next week my reception will be winding down and it'll just be Bo and I headed to the hotel. Weird to think so much planning was put into this one day and it'll all be done with this time next week.
I must say though I am very excited at the though of being a Mrs. Almost unbelievable. For so many years you go from one day to the next thinking you'll get married someday. Then all the sudden it's that day and you're Mr. and Mrs. with a house, yard, puppies, and a recliner (which I actually really like!).
I've learned a lot these past six years - and finally grew up. I'm delighted to think Bo wants me for the rest of his life and I don't think I could be complete without him. I'm a lucky gal.
**I have just had to interrupt this post to hunt down a missing puppy. She was found under the bed with ANOTHER high heel. I'm going to seriously need some shoe shopping when I return from the honeymoon. This is getting ridiculous. All of my shoes keep surrendering to puppy teeth. How do they know my most favoritest possessions are shoes?? Can't they find a pair of jeans that no longer fit?**
That interruption reminds me of another story I haven't posted yet. A few days ago I noticed my glasses were missing. I only wear them at night so they never leave the bedside or the bathroom. Both locations checked - missing. Two little mouths and one location immediately become the suspects....puppies under the bed. I jumped down on the floor, lift up the bedskirt and if there had been someone under my bed with a camera ready to capture my face, I'd have probably won a million dollars. Shreds of toilet paper...EVERYWHERE. It had apparently snowed under my bed at some point. The little sneaks had stolen a roll of toilet paper and proceeded to decapitate it right under my feet. If only I had a picture. This story does have a happy ending though. The glasses were found, although under the bed, in one piece with no teeth marks. Caught a break on that one. Extra care has been made to ensure the glasses are not so easily accessible from now on.
**Second interruption - she has flipped out of the pin again only to be found under the bed with a plastic hangar. Where does she find this stuff? It seems I am making this too easy on them. This means war.**
Well, now that it is 1AM, I am tired of writing cute stories about the dogs because they're pissing me off and don't seem cute at the moment, and I have a full list of errands tomorrow, I think I'm done for tonight.
P.S. Bo politely reminded me he was not in San Antonio and my previous post stated. I did not know this until he returned from coach's clinic. Hmm, and I'm always such a good listener..and apparently keep excellent tabs on my fiance.
