A weird list

Talking with a friend the other day, I recounted the days when I used to journal. One of the journaling techniques I used back then was lists. So today as I was completely unmotivated to get anything done around the house I made a list of things I can't afford. Then I made of list of things I could do for free. Then I made a list of things I could do around the house if I felt motivated- which I didn't- so I took the pups for a long walk around the block. It was a reminder- Stop and smell every mailbox and telephone poll, pile of leaves, smile at your neighbors, enjoy the sunshine.

Observations

While walking around my neighborhood with my three very well behaved dogs is nice and relaxing- Once one of them poops and then I have to carry that- it's no longer as nice. So, three dogs on leashes- cool. Three dogs on leashes and a bag of poop- not cool.

Each day

Each day gets better and better. Finnegan is fittiing into the routine. Bailey who started out very upset about his new little brother is coming around: seeking him out in play, teasing him with a toy. Finn is getting used to crate time and knows not to stick his nose in anyone else's bowl. He sat this morning for breakfast without being told.

Now, if only it wasn't so freakin' cold out- we could spend the day outside..... A few more hours of yard work and we will be cleaned up for the season.

Rainy Days

So, what do you do with three labs on a rainy, crappy day? You don't take the time to wash your kitchen floor- that's for sure. Everyone is sound asleep right now- and I should be on the couch reading a book.

We're off to take the new little guy to the vet this afternoon. Can't wait to see how much weight he put on in the week he has been here. It's still not too hard to carry him down the stairs, but it will be soon.

Bailey is still in a little snit, but thankfully has been playing nicely with Finn. Just going to take a while is all.
