Heh. Friday went to Lizs to hang with her, we just sat around relaxing and talking cept for making no-bake cookies. Which were very yummy. In fact, I was very good as I only ate 2 since they were for school. Liz is nice and makes cookies for her classes. Hmmmmm. Called the Canine Social club again, they haven't hired anyone yet, in fact they split the 7:00am - 3:00pm shift into two shifts. If I don't get a call or email, then I shall call them. Hey, insistant bugging is how I got Family Dollar, who knows it might work. I also gots good email!

Saturday went to Davids early. David, Kate and I went thrifting, or at least went looking for a specific printer. No printer but we found a couple other thing, one in fact was a mini-candleabra. We shined that up and it looks good. It holds the blue and pueple candles from the dollar store. We got all dressed up for Outland, but they rented out the space for a hip hop night that cost $15, so we headed back home. Watched I Am Legend. Good movie for after dark watching. Heheh. No sleep until some light was in the air I think. Sunday David worked on a couple things and I just chilled and was a kitten warmer while I read.

Monday gotta see Bobbie, then went dog walking. Took Stella and Rupert first. Stella was excellent with the little guy. Just ignored him and enjoyed her walk. There was nose and other sniffing going on, very well-behaved for that. On the way back from Whetstone, we saw Romes family and talked for a bit. Hes doing good, and walks with a head halti with the kids. THe mom also asked if we knew anyone who would walk him for $5. I said I would, so his first once again walk with me is Thursday at 2:00pm. Hehehe. She just thinks he should have more walks. They do walk him, we've been running into them everytime we're out. Stella and Rupert even played for a tiny bit while we were there! Walked Xavier and Layla next. She did much better with him, just like we thought. Xavier is taller than her and can hold his own so it became a bit more playful acting. I've noticed that she mouths me when she gets too excited and she turns that frustration on me. Must to work on that. She was mostly a good girl though. Just gonna take time. Other than that, watched Raw and talked to Melanie.

Tuesday I'm going to the East Side Vet place. They once again have an ad in the paper for a bather, and also a kennel worker this time. Might as well try. Then going to Davids. Wednesday, nothing planned. Thursday is dog walking, early start cuz of Rome. Friday is Liz. Saturday is David, we might meet up with Kate and Erin. Ta!

Its back, I has a computer! Ok, I've had it back since Sunday but still. And Fred has kept me internetsane. I was connected even without computer. Now has one again, yay! Things a bit stretchy on screen but thats ok I guess.

Saturday arrived to David early, as planned. Went to Paneras for lunch then to the short north for the howl-o-ween dog costume contest. Hehe. Fun for me! Lots of little dogs of course but some bigger dogs. some had the basic easy costume (duchund is a hot dog one) and some more creative (dogs as pirates). My favorite one though was a red brown pit in a pumpkin costume, which won first prize in the weight catorgory. All friendly pups. We watched Fright Night and Nightmare before Christmas. Nappeded. Sunday was chilling, first with David, then at home, then with John and Cori.

Monday Cori and I decided to do nothing cept the shopping that needed to be done. We were happily lazy and watched Coraline and The Corpse Bride. Got the ok to take Stella to the pet stores. Since Xavier already has expirence. Also found out that Calypso and Rome went to their homes, they got adopted. We are now 4 - 0. Go us!!

Tuesday dog walked since Regan went to the doctors. We have a 8 week old white pit bull, a 3-4 month old gold/white pit bull (rupert), and an adult fawn boxer/pit(layla). We decided to take Rupert and Layla for a walk. I figured a puppy is always the easiest thing for an adult dog to get along with. They sniffed noses nicely a few times then Layla growled. She also has no problems growling at people or putting her mouth on them if she doesn't like want they want her to do. Found out in that walk why she was returned. Shy, nervous, insecure dog was given power over humans. That equals mouthing which probably turned into bites. Yay! I has challenge! Hehehe. Rupert was totally oblivious to anything bad and is happy go lucky. Found out that Stella has a couple applications on her. We took her and Xavier on a walk together. Apparently since I had to pick one to walk, I chose Stella. Though from now on it'll be Rupert and Stella. Xavier and Layla. Xaviers bigger than Layla. I evil. Got to David, washed up, and we went thrifting to look for a printer. Three stores, and found none to match. We did get some candle stuffs, and a couple warm things. Then all important food, whilst amusing David with tales of new pups. Got all wrapped up and no sleep til 4 or 5am. We actually woke up with time not be rushed in anything. All I did when I got home was chill, and go to the library.

Thursday woke up really early, at least the first time at 6:22am. Cat-napped until 8:45 though. Got to Regans around 9:45 and then had to stop to get gas then off to West Layfette for Regan to get her wedding dress. She actually picked one out within a couple of hours. I admit, got a bit girly and had fun helping her pick out and try on the dresses. We ate lunch there then came home. Rested a tiny bit and went to Westgate on the bike and I've talked with Julie and Liz today as well.

Friday going to Lizs, will probably watch Rock Horror Picture Show as planned. Getting to Davids a bit early on Saturday, no clue as to whats going yet yet, I'll find out when I find out. Ta!

Ok, I have no computer at home. Which makes for very boring nights and even lonlier days with no one to talk to on library comps and no mails. Nothing for a week, hence no updates, although I have been checking mail obseesively as I have job apps in.

Fred was ncie enough on Thursday after walking dogs to take me to Regans. Who said he was cute to me (not to him). Found out Jeff Dunham has his own show on Comedy Central. Got online and talked to ppl (yay) and talked with David on the phone before bed. Friday did 6 dogs and one cat. Went by kinda fast actually, whcih was nice. Made Regan bathe the cat, I don't like doing sedated animals. But the dogs were good for me :) I had my Interview with the Canine Social Club in Grandview at6:00pm. I think it went alright. The place is ok, and the people and dogs are friendly. Calmed down a bit, got to Davids house and called Kate, so I gotta talk to her for a bit, which was good. Liz, called so I talked with her. Finished Pride and Prejudice, and started Sense and Sensibility. Got curled up with and attacked by WeHo and Molly. David got home and we went to the store and then watched about half of The Princess Bride before I, at least, started to fall asleep.

Saturday was just relaxing and picking up a few things (such as these really cool scary candles) at the dollar store. Then off to Mansfield Reformatory for their haunted house (and yes, its one of the most haunted places in America) Ride up tehre didn't take too long. Lines went quickly, there were some interesting people there around us, and one girl even took our pic somewhat sneakily. We were just let in continuiously ratehr than in small groups. (like the groups better). I did get in my one moment. Guy comes out to scare, I make scary sound back and fluff up. He approaches and I don't back down. Nose to nose, forehead to forehead. No one is moving. I lick his nose, he backs off with a squeal and calls me evil. I say thanks and waltz off, preening. And I didn't get hit by the flying thing this year. Go me! All in all a fun time, and was a calm ride home. Curled up for snack and tea, then fun then sleep. Sunday, was with much cuddling, and not wanting to move.

Monday walked dogs. Xavier and Calypso and Rome and Stella. Shortish walks (for us) so about 1 1/2 hours each time. I have learned that if Rome has interesting smells to sniff, he will even walk calmly past another male dog. Murphy has been adopted, woo-hoo! But a dog has come back to us cuz the owner got disalbed in a car wreak. A 7 yr old basset hound/beagle mix named Indy. Sweet guy, wants out.

Tuesday went over to Davids and we watched ChinaTown, so I have seen squeal first (Two Jacks) and then the first movie. Then shopping for normal food, and ice cream. And candy. Then watched Kinsey. Interesting really that. Then time for cuddling, talking, and sleep. Molly even turned up on my shoulder and neck area. Hehehe. Wednesday no one wanted out of bed, didn't want to go home. Went to Chipoltes. Then home then library. Thursday walked dogs, took rome and Stella first, which was a good idea since Trick-or-Treat started at 6. Took the lab mix pups out for a walk around the block. Yeah, those pups need to learn how to walk, although the little brown one did ok, the black one just didn't want to. Then on to Xavier and Calypso. They did wonderfully around the kids and adults and dogs going after the candy that evening. The only thing that made them react (Xavier barking, Calypso, jumping) was these guys on skateboards. Fred took me to John and Bevs house, and had some food and said hi to everyone. Then of course I spent all my time talking to their neighbors about dogs in general and Pit Bulls in particular, as she owns two, a reverse brindle and a red. Both sweet girls, and they PLAY! And also love water in all its forms. Found out later that the Canine Club is still doing interviews, so I'm still in the runing for that job.

Today nothing is planned. Satrurday meeting David a bit early downtown, he has something planned, just dunno what. Heh. Might see John and Cori Sunday and Monday. Tuesday is undergarmet shopping with Regan then David. Maybe dogs on Wednesday. Thursday is dress shopping. (that one I understand, Tuesday not so much) Friday will be Liz hopefully. And Saturday and Sunday with David. Ta!

Oh wowsers, sheesh, break up in schedule and lose the days. Thursday was a be at home day until we went to meet Aunt Ronnie, Uncle Randy, Kathleen, and Nyla for dinner. Abuelos. Its at Easton, I think thats what its called. And I of couse entertained Nyla, hehehe. Its fun, she likes animals and they delivered tiny plastic swords in the lemons in the water. I wish we could visited for longer but Jerry wanted to rest before work and we only had one vechile. Friday was waiting to find out if we were hanging out with them again, found out a bit late that no, so I walked dogs. We walked Rome and Stella first, did quite well together, woo-hoo! Then Xavier and Miracle. Her last walk as a shelter dog. She got adopted by a guy who is a grad student and he works. Thats all I know. I hope she stays with him, I don't want her to come back, I do miss her though. Told her to be nice to him and behave. Hehehe, I do wanna give him the stuff Cori and I got her, and give him the info on Pit Bull University. She went home Friday at 8:15pm.

Saturday stayed around here, then went to Davids kinda early. So laid about and read and petted the kittehs. Gotta talk with Kate a bit. Kate and Erin came over to drop off something for David and to show me the stuff they had gotten. Then we grabbed a bite to eat and went thrifting, actually specifically looking for one thing, didn't find it, but we found other stuff. Hehehe. We met them at Outland,and ran into quite a few people that we know. Though I do have to get used to wearing heels again. Figured a few things out, hehehe. Got home after last call. Had some fun and cuddled and conked out after dawn. Got up at 1pm, thanks to David so we were able to meet up with Kate and Erin at Chipoltes for lunch. Once I got home, nothing really was done. Jerry cooked a dinner for my moms birthday.

Monday, got a call from Regan, letting me know she most likely will need me to help her on Friday, I hope there aren't a lot of dogs. I just wanna be able to get home and get stuff done. This also means I cant see Liz on Friday and I'm taking a bus to Davids, as no ride can be had as of now. Walked Calypso and Xavier together to Whetstone, typical pit/boxer mix, and got energized by water. Hehehe. Didn't walk Stella and Rome since Stella was on walks and Rome was visiting a family. They are thinking about adopted either him or Murphy. Etiehr way they wanna take it kinda slow to make sure whichever dog fits in well. Smart family, thank goodness.

Tuesday am dropped off application to the Book Loft, then heading to the library, then to Davids. Nothing specific planned. Wednesday is a lazy day, Thursday is Quarter Horse Congress and dog walking, and Friday is Regan and grooming, come home, get ready, and go to Davids in the evening. Saturday is Mansfield Reformatory. Sunday is lazy day. Ta!

Friday, Liz was sick, so didn't go over there. Went to Old Bag of Nails for lunch with my mom. I actually gotta watch Smackdown, Rescue Ink, and Dog Whisperer while they were on, and of course curl up in the chair under the blanket I have adopted.

Saturday up at 7:30am and helped Jerry, mom, and brother sand down the two vans. I once again resembled a cheesepuff. A cheesepuff that happily ate doughnuts and drank mt. dew. Got to the shelter before Fred so I walked Rome for a while. Then got Miracle out for a bit. When Fred got there we took Stella and Xavier together for about an hour, then went off to Fred and Xaviers final class at Pit Bull University. Four dogs: Xavier, a Pit named Bella, and two Pit/Lab mixes; Tito and Mama. All dogs did really well. Worked on Sit/Stay, Down/Stay, Heel, High Five, Wave, Sit while other dogs are walking, and of course, costumes! Xavier had a shirt, Crissa got it over his head via treats, and left it to Fred and I to get his forelegs in. Toy in sight and in mouth and Jenny was able to sneak those paws right through, hehehe. Last thing was greeting Crissa with sit or wave, person getting diploma, and then a cute trick, Xaviers was sitting up. Bella and Mama were the cases with dog agression issues, and Mama just shined in that class, both with the people and the dogs. They told her owners about Pit PhD, which helps the dogs get their AKC Canine Good Citizen. Got to Davids, took shower, got yummy food type stuff, curled up and cuddled, watched David Allen (I think thats his name), and while David was in shower, conked out like a light. ~sigh~ But I got to curl up and sleep and purr and be warm and cozy. Sunday was a very lazy day, yesh! But nice.

Monday walked dogs with Fred, we decided to get all four dogs used to the park where the photo shoot is gonna be. So we took Xavier and Miracle first and they did quite well Miracle ran to the slide right away, Xavier doesn't like it though. We took them on a short (hour) walk around new streets. Grabbed Stella and Rome. Tried to walk across the street with each other until Stella decided that Fred was doing it wrong and that they both should walk on the same side as me, regardless of the other dog. Stella doesn't like the slide, Rome is ok with it. He also knows Sit, Down, Crawl, and Rollover. So Fred and I have some ideas to work with. Walked them also for about an hour on newish roads. He went off and I grabbed Miracle again to walk her until 7:30pm. So we went around and about and ended up on Wahalla by the creek and she had fun. She gotta meet John when he picked me up, and all the dogs at the shelter did ok with him. Got to his and Coris house, said hello and took shower. Ate dinner and just chilled with the friends, the tv, and the books. Talked with David then went to bed.

Tuesday got up at 10, thank you phone, grr. But it gave us a good start to the day. Cori and I took our showers, called David, ate food. Decided to go to the bank first thing, called Amy, so since we were gonna have dinner we decided to kidnap Miracle and go to Petsmart. Needed to find out what size coat she would wear in case the shelter doesn't have one in her size. And she made her first doggy friend outside of shelter dogs. A female, blue merle Great Dane named Molly. They sniffed noses, then Miracle sat down. ( I have her sit when another dog passes on a walk so its gotten in her thick skull) Then more sniffing, this time around the entire body, she tried to get up around the ears, but had to use Molly for balance, kinda funny looking really. The Dane and her owner were all ok with this. Although we might need to work more on manners when leashes are tangled a bit. this ws her first time meeting a leashed dog and it was wonderful! Then there was a girl, about 5 or 6 in line and pointed at Miracle, so I asked if it was ok if she petted her so Miracle got pets from a little girl as well. We found a toy that she likes, and got her a pig ear. We went to Petland as well, but no coats. Took her back and then went to the house and called Amy. She picked us up at 7ish, went over, ate yummy foods looked at her dog and hung out with her, Scott, and Wayne. Got over to Davids around 10:30 and we went to Kroger for pop and cat food. Curled up, he took shower, more cuddling, pouncing and of course sleep. I have been woken up by the bewhiskered face of Mollie, hehehe. More fun this afternoon, with cuddling, napping, and rubz.Got home, lazed about, went to library, and talked with Liz, Regan, and Julie.

Thursday is seeing my Aunt Ronnie, Uncle Randy, Kathleen and Nyla for the first time in 6 years, gonna have dinner with them. Friday is kinda up in the air, eek! Saturday is being with David and maybe doing some exploring. Sunday is lunch with Kate and nothing. Ta!

Lets see here. Tuesday went dog walking. First Miracle and Xavier, she does muchly better with him. Gotta walk to Whetstone with them, but came back a quicker route than normal. Then the girls: Miracle and Stella. We took them down Wahalla and around. So creek walking, they did alright, though apparently the girls need or want more distance between them at times, so we're giving it to them, specially when doling out treats or while a dog passes by. (They both have issues with that, but getting better...monkey see, monkey do) Fred gave me the paper to fill out on Miracle. I left it fro Amy to fill her part out first.Got to Davids, showered, e-mailed Crissa (person who does Pit Bull University) and looked up jobs while talking to Liz on the phone. Then David and I finished up the cleaning for that night, ate dinner, curled up in bed and watched Jason and the Argonauts. Never knew much about that Myth, kinda interesting. wonder if they changed anything, now I wanna read it. And wow. Slept, with a Satyr on one side and apparently a kitten on the other. She even was by the door when I left and came back. Wednesday giggling and fun ensued, followed by food and Marcus. Found out how Julie and Skyler are doing, and bought treats for Topaz and shelter dogs, and wet food for Topaz. Oh, and chewie treats for the Pitties.

Thursday I found out Kroger ain't really hiring for bagger right now. Figure I'll bug them every so often, hehehe. They told me to! Got to the shelter and said hi to everyone and Stella was just going crazy-excited. Spent some time in the cage with Miracle, and found out that the three amigas only come up if you approach them the right way, which is easy to do if you're paying attention to Xavier. Walked Miracle a short way by herself before Fred was over, we met up with him and Xavier later. They of course were bouncy so we let them play for a few minutes and then walked them the first part normal, then we went a different way back, so they had fun smelling the new smells. Started raining too. Stella and Miracle got off to a good start, there was even play wiggles from both of them and Stella is becoming more confident and holding her tail even with her back We walked hither and thither and then down Wahalla where the girls got kinda coo-coo. Rain seems to energize Pit Bulls, I dunno why. Any sort of water really. One time when Miracle was acting the idiot I stepped wrong and hurt the ankle, so a couple times, Miracle pulling extra hard was good. They walked beside each other and on each side of me really well until we got closer to the shelter. They actually we're boxing at one point, not completly play but not completely fight. Five seconds later they are walking beside each other again. Dogs, go figure. Gave dogs their chewies. Decided to test Miracle comfort level with petting while chewing on delious treat, as I can handle any toy, bowl, or stick with no issue. Chewies however, have a limit and that limit is between her eyes. Inside her cage there was an explosion of noise from her. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. All it was was an explosion of barking for about 2 or 3 seconds. She then went back to chewing on the tasty treat and I went back to petting her and rubbing her neck. Much better for me to do it, someone she trusts, than a stranger. I was trusting the breed in her, the Pit Bull side for my safety when I set her off. We were in her cage, she coulda bitten me if she wished to, but she didn't. She just let me know with that noise that I passed her comfort level. Afterwards she even offered me her belly for a tummy rub and gave kisses. I got the form for Pit U. and I gotta fill out the rest of it, I have all the info for dog and human interaction. Crissa also wrote me back and said I could call her and shed be happy to have Miracle and me in her class. So hopefully we're allowed after filling out the form, no reason we shouldn't be. Got home, showered and put an ice pack on the ankle.

Friday should still be fun, even with the rain we're supposta get. I am seeing Liz unless something changes. Saturday is still the really busy day with sanding the vans, walking the dogs, going to Pit U., and going to Davids. Sunday of course is day of nothing once I hit the afternoon area. Ta!

Friday I woke up, took bath, and went to Beckys at 1:00pm. Ate pizza and cookies and had pop. Feel like using an idea from Brian. Maybe. Spent our time talking, plotting, planning, crying, ranting, raving, and laughing our asses off. And made her Brian turn red over the phone. Ah, life be good. We got the kids and took them to her moms for the weekend. AND we got a U-Haul truck (Becky drove that, I followed in the car), some boxes, and packing tape to mark boxes. So we did much important stuff, and got stuff ready for packing to be done. Got home a bit after midnight with yet another pizza for eating and I manged to give Becky her sunflower seeds, yay!

Saturday wanted to kill alarm, but got up, showered, packed and got to Davids by 11:00am. Got us suff to drink and eat as well. Curled up for a bit with Mollie while David got things done, got dressed in the white top and green shirt, and used the black cloak that David let me borrow. Headed off to the Ren Faire to meet up with Kate and Erin. The four of us managed to walk around half of it. I think Kate and I might of had the most "shiny" moments. We stopped at nearly every shop on both sides and we went into the dungeon castle where they had a museam of sort of the old torture devices. Never heard of a bull wheel before or the seven steps to heaven or the jaw breaker. Didn't eat there, but I got my hair braided by Mary with a purple-y blue-y shint shimmery ribbon, 6 taper candles, a bar of lotion, and a garnet poison ring. so yeah, I'm happy with my trip, hehehehe. Erin also got her hair braided really nice and with a red ribbon. Kate and Erin gave me a tshirt, a pair of regular pants and a pair of wrap around pants. Haven't figured out the wrap arounds. We got home, had Mark Pis, and came back home and watched Dogma and went to bed.

Sunday was up bright and early at 7:45am. UGH! Left my purse at Davids so we had to go back. (yep, I'm a blond) My brother and Lisa and Marley picked me up a bit after 9, nd then we headed to Nelsonville so they could pick up a dry suit. Then went to the Rock House in Old Mans Cave. Brother, Lisa, Jason, Leah, Steven, Chloe, and I walked Marley on the trail. Ate, wandered aimlessly, talked to Regan and talked to Marji. Marji came to say hi and we walked Max on the trail and talked for a bit. Pat and Lisa had already left by then so I just sat around. Lin, John, Klaus, and Kelly showed up. Haven't seen those last two in forever, summer 2007 to be exact. Seem to be doing good. Got home, packed, and went to Regans. We just chilled and talked, and went to bed early. Monday, woke up beofre dawn, and the phone kept going off, so I ended up with a headache half the day. (this is why jenny so well trained to get up with alarms) and we went to work. Had a Bishon, Cairne terrier, Toy Poodle, Min. Schnuzer, 'nother Poodle that looked like a schnuzer, and a Golden Retriever. Easiest dog with the Golden. Got home, showered (good bye pretty hair), do first laundry. Kroger had called so I went there since I had to pick up food anyway. Got Jeffs number and gonna call him when hes at work. Talked to Liz and to Cori. Went to library to return one book and reserve Cesar Millans book that is coming out, oh, today. Do second load of laundry, walk Topaz, talked to David and Kate (YAY!!!) and now am here.

Tuesday I'm calling Kroger, walking dogs and going to Davids. Wednesday so far nothing planned, Thursday walking dogs, Friday seeing Liz. Saturday is working on vans, pit bull university, and David. Sunday is nothing. Ta!

Tuesday went to Easton with my brother and mom. Walked around before shopping. The walking around wasn't the greatest, but only cuz I had walked about 14 miles the day before. But gotta see Marley as well and I drove home and to Kroger because I had to go to the bank and get a few things from the store. Was able to watch the end of Highlander, then headed to Davids. Went thrifting, found a couple pairs of sweats, a thinsulate shirt, a couple skirts, and a top. Ate, cuddled, talked, squeaked. Hehe, even got a massage on that one back muscle that tends to be a bit bothersome. Apparently that rest I get on Tuesday afternoons is really helpful to my body. Wednesday we went to Chipolte, and I went to Family Dollar right when I got home. Other than that I was a slug. A very lazy slug.

Thursday relaxed until it was time to go to the shelter. Miracle is now inside. So all doggies are inside now. Thank goodness. Walked Xavier and Miracle first. Did quite well, course she wanted to play right off the bat. Took them to Whetstone (of course). Miracle was all extra bouncy today, think shes feeling fall in the air. She did reasonably well passing strange dogs and the dogs gotta splash around Wahalla creek. Treats are our friends, they focus the doggie. We had to wait for Stella to come back from a walk before we could take the girls together. We talked with the people before or walk and Miracle was a good girl and even showed off her sit, down, roll over tricks. She was kinda acting a jerk around Stella, but Stella was good and ignored. When other dogs walked by I now have Miracle sit and hold a treat in my hand for her to focus in on. If she looks at the other dog the treat wafes by her nose. I think I might of made a couple dog owners concerned cuz when I saw two people walking their dogs I was like "Yes, two dogs!" The second dog, Miracle had to sit for about 5 minutes but she did it! Hehehe. And back at the shelter, she got a treat-filled kong, and pets, and tummy rubs. I was in her cage for a good half hour, just giving her love. Talked with amy about taking Miracle to Pit Bull University. She said it'd be good if the lady ok'd it. Freds gonna put in a good word for me with her since hes taking Xavier, hes got two more classes.

Friday am helping Becky and we shall have the pizza. Dunno what kind yet, but we'll decide that later! Saturday is Ren Faire with at least David and Kate, and maybe Erin. Sunday is the family thing at the Rock House at Old Mans Cave. And we're leaving at 9am. Ick. Ta!

Friday got to Lizs. We just chilled and watched tv and talked. Even napped. Saturday didn't do a whole lot during the day David got to the house around 10ish and we ordered pizza, ate, walked Topaz, went to see if anybody was at the Chamber or Garden, haven't seen AJ or the one guy for a while. Watched Highlander, first one, and chilled, and slept. Sixx insisted on sleeping with us, luckily next to me. Sunday didn't do whole bunch really. Just went to Family Dollar, I even forget why I did it.

Monday chilled, then went dog walking. We walked Stella and Miracle first. The girls did quite well together, even did that face forward bouncy thing playful doggies do toward each other. Overall well behaved, hehehe. Just to Freds, Whetstone, and back. Put Stella in her cage and Miracle in the backyard and gots da Mt. Dew. and rested for a bit. Then I took Miracle back out, while Fred and another girl took Xavier. We let them play together for a bit, kinda funny watching and listening to them. Watching cuz its always funny to watch dogs play. Listening cuz there was very little sound cept for panting and the occasional little play growl. At the park, let her get a drink and swim a bit. We met an Irish Terrier that was jogging loose next to its owner and it came up to us. They sniffed noses then did the nose to butt sniff. Miracle wanted to play but didn't know the dog, plus both Terriers, didn't wanna chance anything. He went on his merry little way and all was good. We walked up Wahalla again and we even did a dropped leash come recall. She listened quite well, plus I had ham, hehehe. All in all, about a 4 hour walk. Took a couple books and a dvd back to the library and got three books out.

Tuedday going shopping at Easton with my brother and mom. Watching the rest of Highlander. Going to Davids, hopefully going thrifting so I can find a skirt for Ren Faire. Wednesday not planning on anything. Thursday dog walking and Friday I am helping Becky move some stuff. Saturday hopefully Ren Faire and Sunday is family/friend thingie at the Rock House in Old Mans Cave. Ta!

Tuesday went to the shelter to walk Xavier, Stella, and Miracle. So my lil pitty walked for 4 hours! And Miracle is better with Stella if shes walked with Xavier first. The girls walked side by side from Indianaola to Whetstone park near the swimming area. Miracle just doesn't like sharing the swimming. But everyone was good on their walks, if a bit bouncy. Fred took me to Davids, went in, gave him a kiss and hopped in the shower. Went thrifting, found a pair of jeans, a body pillow, and a bra. Watched Ice Age, he thought it was cute. He worked more on a co-workers computer while I read, chatted, petted kittehs, and napped. I'm almost finished with the book though. All in all, up til near dawn. Wendesday we just stayed in bed, very lazy like, until the last possible moment. I hate having to get up on those days. Got home, went and took Ice Age back and got a few snacks, and rest of the day at home.

Thursday picked up an application for a vet place who needs a kennel assistant up in Hilliard, got info from Party City, went to Kroger, came home and rested. At the shelter walked Miracle alone. Went into Whetstone further than before, actually on the pathway to the pond/lake. Didn't go that far though. Went up Walhalla to go creek walking. Shes a lot calmer out of the gate just by herself. Still high energy, rambuctious, and playful. On the way back she wore her harness and walked just fine in it. Even walked past a dog without noticing it, I'm getting the picture of what makes her notice a dog and to what degree of intensity she uses. Though for any pics, someone else has to hold the leash. She wants to play everytime we're still for while. A nice three hour walk. Talked to Liz, Regan, Maria, and Annette. Sometimes I hate my little personality quirks. Need to explain them to Annette. Told Becky I'd help her on the 2nd, so I get to see her then, and need to tell Liz about that when I go over there in the afternoon.

Still seeing Liz this afternoon, dunno if we'll do anything specific, but it'll be fun. David is coming over on Saturday, we might get some thrifting in, and I still got Hedwig and the Angry Inch for movie watching. Ta!

Busy weekend ~le pant!~ Friday went to Lizs and hung out, David was there as well as he wasn't feeling good that day. We all just mostly sat around and chilled, though Liz and I did go to Easton and she got a few pairs of jeans. Had to get home a bit earlier than normal since my mom and Jerry both weren't home. Someones gotta take care of Topaz and Sixx. Rest of night was spent watching Smackdown and being on computer.

Saturday had to wake up early, around 7am. We all left for the shop where my mom, Jerry, my brother, and I sanded down 3 full-sized vans. Orange vans. We all looked like bags of cheetos and cheese puffs exploded on us. That went alright, with breaks for Doughnuts and Mt. Dew. Got to the shelter Fred was a bit late and Xavier was at Petco, so we just walked Stella and Miracle. Overall good with sniffing going on a couple of times. He got me to Davids and I took a shoer,went to Family Dollar and Wendys, went back, said hi to his mom, went to BP, came back and read and relaxed until he got home. Went to Mejier got buy some cat food and stuffs. Got candles and a tiny bit deflated basketball. And got McDonalds, lovely food we love. Gots a massage when we got back, and then promtly conked out until about 3 or 4 I am guessing. Went to bed a couple hours later. Muchly lazy, warm, fun morning.

I did end up napping for about an hour while I waited for John to pick me up. Got to their house, and we all decided upon pizza. Cori and I watched Ghost Rider and Night at the Museum. Monday we woke up, ate, shower, tea, ramble around. Left for the shelter to dog-nap Miracle for a couple hours. Got the dog, Went to PetSmart (and got clued in shed never been to a store in her life) She warmed up to it quickly. Liked the food aisle, and a couple of toys, and a treat. She now has a red collar, leash, and harness. And a kong toy. And got a chewy snack stick. I got myself a couple bully breed magizines. Spoiled pit. Went back to the house, she stretched her legs and Cori gave Jenny the cat harness for her kitten. We took her home, then Miracle back to the shelter. Got home and just sat around and talked and read together for the rest of the night.

Tuesday am walking dogs at the shelter then going to see David. Hopefully we'll have the time and the inclination to go thrifting. Wednesday maybe shelter, though maybe not. Thursday is dog walking again, and Friday I get to see Liz. Saturday mom and Jerry are going to Belpre so David might come over. I like busy. Ta!

Tuesday I delivered my Urban Canine Doggy Daycare application, then went to the library. Honestly, I have an option of going, I'll go. Got to Davids around 8 and we lazed around, ordered, than picked up some pizza and watched Over the Hedge. He liked it, yay! More lazing around and talking until sleep fell over us. Wednesday didnt do a whole lot, finally got outta bed. Got home, then later on went to library to return movie and then to Kroger to buy more dog treats. Talked with my brother and then Kate.

Thursday went to shelter. We walked Miracle and Xavier first. Actually was able to get Miracle to play with me today, which was great! When we got to Whetstone, attached the leashes I had together and they both had their fun with the running and the swimming. She still doesn't like sharing water, either the creek or a bowl. She'll have to learn eventually, at least with the creek. From the outside of the park up to past High St. (a good half hour) Miracle had a stick she carried, looking ever so cute. She knows this, as lots of people along that walk told her so. Any dog carrying a stick so well, is always adorable and she was so proud of herself. Back at the shelter we find out that Chloe has been adopted!! So I stayed behind so I could say goodbye to her while Fred and Stella walked. After, I took Miracle out again and caught up with them. Started across the street, and of course Miracle acted like her crazy self at first, but once we started walking she got it into her skull that walking and ignoring is what she does.. She also gotta be petted by some people. A mom, and her kids, a 2 year old, and a few 5-7 year olds, one with cerebal palsy. Mom was even holding the family puppy whom Miracle politely sniffed noses with. The kids all adored her and gave her treats and pets while she happily ate said treats and gave kisses in thanks. They all just loved her and were asking all sorts of questions about her. Hehe. So now, we'll walk Xavier and Miracle first, rest a bit, then walk Stella and Miracle. Unless we can get Calypso to walk on a leash. Or Rome could go with Stella. Ta!

The weekend was interesting. My mom and Jerry left Saturday morning before I was up. Just chilled with my animals and saw Bobbie a tiny bit before she went somewhere to watch the football game. Annette and Jay stopped by for a couple of hours, Topaz only got a short walk cuz game was still going on and I don't trust crazy fans. Though I did go to UDF. David came over and hung for a bit. Went to the Garden and the Chamber and back to his house to grab a couple of things, well, he grabbed, I petted the kitties. Got back to my house and had a pretty good set up, though almost no sleep once we woke up at 8:30. Ick! Sunday got McDonalds, then he went home for a bit to work on stuff and wait for Kate. They came over and we went thrifting. All got some stuff, and hey, I got a new black long sleeved shirt, black jeans, Kate got me a velvet royal blue bell sleeved shirt and David got me a brown leather bag. Heh. Then said bye to David and Kate and I went to a little fest type thingie. She got Euphrates a book, and we oohed and aahed over the many shinys. After finishing with that we sat and talked for a couple of hours, which was great.

Monday did nothing until I walked dogs. Miracle and Xavier first of course. We did have a boxing match on our hands cuz they were playing together quite nicely with a stick (3 inches across) Saw blood from stick on Miracles tongue so pulled back (stupid jenny, you'd think i know things by now) She didn't like then Xavier didn't like her reaction, so they boxed with their front paws a bit and made lots of growly sounds. No fighting, no teeth, just growls. Got rid of stick, gave Miracle a drink of water to wash off her tongue, and not 10 steps later both dogs were sniffing the same spot, tails a waggin. As I had creeking shoes, Miracle spent almost all her time in the water swimming, unless she came to a place where she could touch. My Miracle had fun. Xavier is too tall to swim much cuz he can touch everywhere. Kinda short walk as it was only 2 hours. Miracle has also gotten better at ignoring dogs barking at her along the walk. She'll still look at them but she'll also willingly just continue her walks. I have literally saved a dog from death by WALKING HER! This is why walks are important peoples!!! At the shelter Miracle was good when I placed my hand over her food bowl and had her bone. Didn't try for it at all. Fred had to fill the water jug so I played with Chloe, which woulda made anyone pass wonder a bit cuz she'll launch her whole body toward you and she knocks me down flat and covers me with kisses, then I roll her on her back and proceed to wrestle and rub her belly. Fred and I thought we'd cross Indianola before walking Stella and Chloe side by side. Stella had other ideas and by the time we passed two buildings the girls were walking together. Chloe has always been good at ignoring dogs along the walk, but Stella has gotten just about as good as Miracle on the ignoring, which is great! Hehehe. Shes more interested in walking with Chloe than paying attention to other dogs. Stella and Chloe are each more interested in running and splashing around in the creek than swimming. We still had to empty our shoes and walk barefoot for a while. Much bouncyness ensued from Chloes end. On the way back ran into Rome walking. Once again only 2 hour walk, poor puppies. Trish Stratus was on Raw tonight and wrestled. I found out Patrick Swayze passed away today from his cancer. Gotta talk to David.

Tuesday probably just gonna stay around here until I go to Davids. Gonna use my new bag and also need to remember to bring Over the Hedge. I am with a wonderful guy. Wednesday will probably not really do anything when I get home, might go to library for the heck of it. Thursday is dog walking again at 3:00pm. Friday I get to see Liz. Saturday could be very busy. Am helping in the shop with my mom, Jerry, and my brother, doing detail work on vans at 8:00am. Might walk dogs at shelter. Then going over to Davids. Sunday from the afternoon will be boring. Ta!

Anyhoo, went and grabbed an application to Urban Doggy Daycare downtown on Tuesday. Currently not hiring but never hurts to have info there. Got to Davids house, he was still sick. Got something to eat and he dropped me off at the library to get movies while he was able to get more shut eye. We watched Batman Begins, then The Producers (the original), went to WalMart and bought shoes and a couple of thing for my lock then for a shake and a snack from Steak-n-Shake. Got back home and watched most of Diamonds are Forever. Guess I started seriously nodding off there, so went to bed but ti was around 2am though. Wednesday got breakfast and continued with the napping. home was just doing a bunch of nothing cept going to the library to get books, then going to Family Dollar to get some towels. Thursday went to Lizs and we baked cookies, watched Snapped, and had a drink and I gave her the birthday card.

Friday was lazy until I left for the shelter. Went to Park Your Paws first to pick up an application though they also are not hiring. Oh well. Got to the shelter and spent some time out back with Rome and Calypso. Said hi to everyone else and sat in the cage with Miracle so she knew I remembered how things went. Walked Xavier and Miracle first of course. Close from the beginning this time, it went ok, just Miracle was more interested in playing than walking at first. Got to Whetstone without too much rough housing. since she seems to love to actually swim, while she was in the creek swimming I dropped the leash and just walked on the shore beside her while she had fun. I walk gator dog as she swims with the water just below her nose so she can breath, other than that shes underwater. She came straight to me afterwards. Then right away two dogs (Lab and Chichiuha) came running through the woods and the Lab approuched us off leash. Miracle and the Lab sniffed noses and she wanted to play, but I didn't let her as I didn't know the dog, and didn't know the owner. But I did figure out that she wants to play with most dogs which is good. The only bad thing is Pit Bulls go at everything they do with much gusto and enthusiam, this includes play. And she and Xavier play rough and tumble, which is halarious to watch since they are young dogs with uber amounts of energy. But I know Miracle can sniff noses with other dogs as long as they are friendly and have the right energy and additude, maybe we'll find her a friend at the park. We had to wait for Stella and Chloe to come back from their different walks, so we got Mt Dew and I got some ice cream. The girls came back and we took them for their together walk. Stella considers sideyard as part of the backyard but thats ok for now, she'll learn. The walk went smoothly, but the Whetstone creek just has a dog magnet in it since there was a Golden there. Chloe of course said hi in a bouncy type way since there was water around. Stella, once calmed down even sniffed the air around the dog a bit, which was great! After, we ran with the dogs for a bit since they both were a bit hyped up, luckily they let us walk after a short sprint. Chloe and Stella both greeted strange human who wanted to pet them and was friendly. Though once we got back, I did see how Stella does not like tall, big guys just approaching her that she doesn't know and trust. Thinking she was abused by such a guy. Had to say good night to everyone and give a doggy treat.

When I wake up, gonna see Bobbie for a bit, then go to the library to get Over the Hedge. Churhcis also in the plans. David is coming over at some point on Saturday, told him when I wasn't gonna be home but other than that, any time is open and free. Gonna watch movie, perhaps have pizza, and maybe glass of wine. Sunday Kate might come over so we'll see her for a bit. Other tahn that, Sunday will just be a day to do nothing, eek! Hmm, I'll know what to do with them, once the car is fixed, need tires as well. Hehe. Ta!

Fun was had by moi. Heh. Friday night/Saturday morning Meredith picked me up, and I of course, gave her two Mt. Dews, and had one for myself as well. Watched tv for a bit then went to bed. Woke up early with birdies and doggies, then took nap. And chilled with my friend. Ah, life is sweet. They have a new dog, a border collie named Driver. Nice dog. Went to a conveinance store and got snacks, pop, and ice cream. Took him on a walk afte dark, the roads have no streetlights, so you get nightvision quite well. Talked to David for most of the walk. We spent the rest of the night reading/watching/listening to movies and talking. Called David before I went to bed, then read my book. Sunday did much of the same, without the store trip. Mythbusters is quite interesting and the Good Compianion Dog stuff could be a bit more challenging than I thought. Which has the potential to make it that much more fun. Got home, quick bath and took Topaz out. Had a fun time. Squee-ith!

Monday was Labor Day and as such, lots of people did not have to work. Which now that I think about it I was a doofus to call a couple people. However, shelters do not close and so we went dog walking as usual Xavier and Miracle got their first walk in Whetstone and shes doing much better when passing by other dogs and when being passed by. Still gets tense and excited but shes listening and behaving much better. Xavier actually gotta meet a couple of dogs so maybe she'll learn a bit by example. They like that creek as well. Stella and Chloe went to the park as well. Chloe actually swam in the water and seemed to enjoy it. Stella is acting better when passing by and getting passed by other dogs. I can walk Chloe either by collar or harness. Memo to self, cannot take dogs home not even for a night. And for some reason I had very bouncy bullys on the other end of the leash. But it was all in good fun. Hehehe.

Tuesday still might go to Davids. Also am checking out a doggy daycare/grooming/boarding place that just opened up downtown. Never hurts to see if places are hiring. Wednesday will be a chill day most likely. Thursday am seeing Liz, and Friday is more dog walking. Probably with twice the bounce. Saturday staying home cuz mom and Jerry are staying the night with friends in Dayton, but David might come over. Ta!

Busy week for me and I've loved it! Tuesday went over to Davids. Went to grab something to eat and of course grabbed kitten food in various flavors as Mollie is still learning about dry food. We just chilled with Bugs Bunny which was fun to watch. Used to watch them on Saturday as a kid, I've missed the old cartoons. Wednesday was lazy day for me, though David worked on a few things. My new lock got all ready for me to wear and I've been wearing it since that afternoon. Thursday got to Lizs early and after taking David to work, we practiced the cones and backing out. Was all nervy so I wasn't doing really well at first. Passed and got my drivers lisence. Then proceeded to tell everyone I could text. After that we just chilled at the house and did laundry and semi watched Snapped while talking.

Friday packed and got ready for my time with Meredith this weekend, I'll basically be there the entire weekend as I won't be home til Sunday night at the earliest. Met up with Fred at the shelter at 3:00 and we walked Xavier and Miracle first. Good 2 hour walk and they loved it! We're thinking that with rare exceptions Miracle doesn't get walked besides me. She becoming really attached. We almost immedately started walking them close together and there was much tail wagging and sniffing and mouth mouthing. Very playful on that walk those two. And Miracle even ignored a couple of dogs and once when a dog was acting kinda aggressive toward her, she just stood there like "nah, no thanks not unless you attack me". Stella and Chloe were next. Made Chloe do sit, watch me, and touch while sitting in the cat room. And she now waits quite nicely in the door until I invite her outside. We walked the girls to and a bit in Whetstone, so now I know how to get there. Once again just almost immediately started walking them side by side. Went Beautifully. Though Chloe does need her own space in water as she likes to jump around and bounce and run in circles. Hehehe. Crazy girl. They even walked right next to each other when walking down the roads. Both of them so good. Eventually we might mix up the pairs, but not quite yet as we just had this breakthrough. And its great cuz Chloe lets us know which dogs are offering bad intentions toward our group. If a dog is ignoring us or acting friendly she just chills and we eithe calmly walk on or she stands or sits while we wait for Fred and Stella.

As for the rest of the week, Meredith is coming over after she gets off of work tonight and I'm spending the weekend with her. I will once again be around dogs and there will be hot tub use. I am happy. We'll ahve fun, haven't seen her since Marcon. Ta!

After much waiting (ok, two weeks) I took my driving test in Delaware county. Liz and I practiced cones and backing up for a bit. A van even did our cones, knocking over one of them. Bit funny that and made me feel better. I've always gone to the left side, its much easier to do cuz of visibility and all that jazz. Only done right side once and I ran over two cones. Get there and the lady has me do manuverability first, going to the right side. Shit! But I do good, not touching a single cone. Then we drove a bit down US23 and went around the block in a residential area, Did real good. So I Passed my driving test. I now have pink driver liscence. Bwah ha ha ha! Clear the road! Now to get brakes fixed on car. Ta!
