Cats and Dogs

Well, I'm going to get nothing done at all this week. Let me explain--my Uncle passed away so my father had to go to Indiana for the funeral--which leaves me at his house Sunday through Wednesday taking care of his dog. Now don't get me wrong, Phoenix is a sweet thing, but seeing her reminds me very clearly of why I want a cat. Less MAINTENANCE. She's exausting and very excitable and makes you feel guilty about going to work and leaving her alone. She's a 75 pound german shepard puppy, so even something as simple as getting in and out of the house without her is a challenge, and forget about doing any writing or art when every time you THINK she's calmed down she starts nudging your hand.

Don't get me wrong. I love this dog, but I'll be glad when I get to give her back! That's about all I have time for for now. Time to let her take me for a walk.
