It was my great-grandmother's house, originally, but has gone out of the family now. I guess that had me feeling a little nostalgic, and perhaps a bit melancholy. I'm all kinds of excited about what's going on in your kitchen, though. The new floor has me pea green with envy.

But he is very, very enthusiastic about whatever has just caught his attention. And happy. And sweet. He likes to lay across our laps, God help us, and raise his head up so he's staring us adoringly in the face while we are being crushed under him.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986534679478221037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313578481896437952.post-44388822986190484342012-03-02T17:51:44.594-05:002012-03-02T17:51:44.594-05:00Oh goodness, what a mischievous pup!

I don't think he actually ingested any siding, although he has certainly swallowed half of the interior of our house and been x-rayed an alarming number of times because of it. Puppy proofing your house becomes impossible when your dog is as tall as you are. I was worried about the stain on the siding, really, but he seems to be fine. And by fine I mean hellzapoppin whenever he is awake. For instance, in his excitement to see me again after a long and tragic 10 minute separation while he was outside visiting the facilities, he dove at me and accidentally landed with all of his weight on the side of my ankle. %$#@)(**&^%$. He's so adorable...when he is sleeping, the huge darling.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986534679478221037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313578481896437952.post-40528597783798157122012-02-29T14:39:20.045-05:002012-02-29T14:39:20.045-05:00Have you brought him to the vet to know whether th...Have you brought him to the vet to know whether the siding that he chewed on can still be removed for inside him?

It seems that every minute is about choosing among the things I need to do and trying to be ok with letting the rest of it go. Logically, quitting work should ease that up, but I suspect I will really be trading a lot of chores I don't want to do for a lot of chores I'm happy to do. That's ok with me.<br /><br />Seriously, though, I desperately need to learn to relax.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986534679478221037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313578481896437952.post-56726725181380119362012-02-22T16:19:22.758-05:002012-02-22T16:19:22.758-05:00I scratch my head when people tell me that they co...I scratch my head when people tell me that they could never quit working because they just wouldn't know how to fill their time.
