Where do I start? As I so poetically wrote yesterday, I worked at an animal shelter. I LOVE WORKING THERE! At the end of the day, I actually "worked" about 3 hours. The rest of the time is spent waiting on things to get ready, or animals to come in, etc.
The drive home was nice, as rush hour traffic was on the light side. Annie and I had to figure out what we were going to do, because this is our last night together for a while (I'm going to H-town today after work for 2 weeks). Here's some back story to what I'm about to tell you:
A little over a year ago, Annie's 2 dogs got into a scuffle, and her Golden/Ridgeback mix ended up taking out her $hit-zu/Lhaso mix's eye. Blood everywhere, and she had to take her to have the eye surgically removed. Traumatic. Traumatic. Traumatic. Understandably, Annie has been a "little" scared about her big dog getting into another fight. The big dog has been kept isolated from all dogs with a few exceptions since then.
Enter DD (that's me) stage left with his 2 puppies (a 7 year old Aussie, and a 2 year old Golden). Now we have a problem, because obviously, some time these 3 are gonna have to meet. So last night it happened. Let's just say that Annie was a little worried. O.K., a "little worried" doesn't really cover it, but I'll move on.
Long story short, I managed to dog whisper her big dog (Shelby)to a pretty good success. She did growl and snap and my sweet Daisy, but I reprimanded Shelby pretty quickly. Shelby did pretty well, as she snapped only once more, and I immediately stopped her. I'm not going into all of the details as to how I set this up, or how I was watching her body language, but let's just say that I think it was a pretty positive first encounter. The last time she was with another dog, Shelby was very aggressive, and didn't play very nice, so this was an improvement.
Then after getting Annie calmed down by a few increments, we decided to go to a movie. The only movie that we could catch that wasn't @ midnight was "Nacho Libre." Bad choice. I'm no movie critic, but that wasn't exactly the funniest movie I've seen. In fact, it's not really that funny at all. Save your $10 and watch Big R bend over and expose his plumber's crack. That's much more entertaining*.
Then last night I didn't sleep well at all. I woke up in the middle of the night numerous times and had butterflies. I kept going over the incidents surrounding my upcoming small claims court appearance. I don't know why I'm worried about it, because the worse that can happen is that I owe him $5,000. Not cool, but at least it's not jail time or something like that. I should be the one to win around $4000-$5000 but, like in Texas Hold 'em, most of the time you don't know what the other dude is holding, or if you're gonna win the hand.
I just got a message from Cameltoes. He's at a low cost clinic that is having a BIG vaccination sale/bizarre/extravaganza. They open at 9:00 A.M. He said, "Holy cow, there are about 2 dozen Mexicans here with their Chihuahuas and Pit Bulls waiting to be seen." Have fun with that. Y Caramba! Y Chihuahua! Como se dice "My name is Cameltoes, and I'm gonna loose a finger today."? Me llamo es el Doctor los dedos del camello is all I know.
Keep on keepin' on.
*That joke never gets old, does it?
