Omg this puppy. Will not shut up. I am so tired. How am I supposed to work today? I let the puppy out of the crate at 7am because he wouldn't hush and was awake. Fed him. And he has not stopped whining and barking since then. 30 minutes later. Aaaaaagh. (When out of his pen he only wants to bite me. That's it. Just bite. Just me.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Since I am at work this week and we have no social media on our computers, I am afraid I am going to miss the VP announcement.

Our wings are not tired.

Do you have a dog park, meara? I tired dog is a good dog. Running in a dog park might do a world of good.

I would imagine there will be quite a lot of fanfare with the announcement. Maybe they will schedule it when his orangeness is spouting nonsense at the white house.

Because books.

meara, get him some chew toys. And a puzzle toy you can put treats in. That should keep him occupied a bit.

Herding cats for fun

FYI Meara, my Lily Bean had a long Bite Everyone All The Time stage in her kittenhood. I had bleeding punctures on my arms. She would throw herself at Sophie and Pearlie and bite, bite, bite. Not a good way to make friends. It's a baby thing and it will pass. Teach bite inhibition by shrieking dramatically and running away if it hurts. That will spoil the game and make an impression that sticks. Eventually.

Lily still loves to bite us but is very gentle. So one of her auxiliary names is Finger Taster.

Aaaah, a nice quiet morning with no beak rapping on the window. GO AWAY, bird!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Toddson, is that the link you meant it to be?

Dogs aren't allowed to go to the dog park until they've had all their shots! So another couple months. And I've tried giving plenty of different chew toys but they are clearly not as fun as my arm or my hand or my boob or my earring or my notebook or my headphones or or or...
