already. right now i’m dogsitting for five dogs, and mollie makes a total of six dogs in my care right now.
they’re all sleeping.
earlier they were all barking.
after that, two were howling.
prior to that i had to take shortie and gizmo for a walk.
earlier, mollie, numie, noodle and i went for a run.
with those three dogs it’s all about moving fast. with shortie and gizmo, it’s more stand around and look and sniff a lot.
kevin and i celebrated our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY on wednesday. the actual date was tuesday but he had a SPECIAL band practice, because they have a gig on saturday, at the sherman sesquecentennial or some such thing.
we saw “tropic thunder” which i thought was funny. it’s too bad that tom cruise seems to be a crazy man with that crazy religion, because he’s such a great actor. he’s just so good.
mollie is now patrolling the area for me.
last night i was in charge of mollie, numie, noodle and shadow, and we were walking in the back yard and all of a sudden a guy came walking towards us. he told me that i’d left the key in the front door, which i had, and then he started in on a spiel about being in training for selling something…or at least that’s what i think he said, because at that point the dogs were basically going crazy with the barking. mollie, off her leash, looked like she might bite him. noodle and numie, both leashed, were lunging and being crazy. shadow was bravely barking up a storm.
one time when i lived in LA a guy came to my door with the exact same story, but there were no dogs, then.
i told the man that noodle wasn’t a good dog and might bite him, and i was sorry about that. he kept trying to talk, but it was really quite pointless and he asked if he could come back later but i said i had to leave.
then i went inside and locked the door and kept the key with me.
kevin says there are four groups of guys doing this throughout the state, and one group breaks into your house.
let’s hope this wasn’t that group.
today is much more mellow.
ok then,
friday afternoon grace.
