the dogs are only "fighting" here and there, although it seems to be happening a bunch, the intensity is DEFINITELY down, and last night i left them alone to go get bryan from the metro and they weren't dead when i got back, so YAY progress! i still need to get a water bottle to spray them with, although i am having some luck with waving around a dish towel like a crazed asshole. i think i might just be really tired, other wise i would be all good. they rock. so does bryan. and also, i kind of want my mom to come for an extra visit to stay with the dogs. it is weird the things exhaustion does to you.
we have a trainer coming on wednesday to "assess" them (i guess to see how much training they need) so that should be interesting. Dex has only had 3 accidents in the house (well, four...one was a poop, at least i think it was his, or else Dahlia needs to not eat so much...gross, and two of the pees were in the morning because i didn't haul ass downstairs fast enough...he gets a slight pass on the first two because he was in a new place with new rules) but overall, i think he is pretty well housebroken. and there is NO food aggression and only a slight amount of "toy jealousy" with them, which were really, my only worries. i really think you can get over all the other obsticles when it comes to dogs getting along if they can eat their own food and play with their own toys.
wow. all i talk about are dogs! i can't wait for a month or so to go by and they are a *little* bit calmer. and i have already noticed some changes in Dahlia in terms of not pooping in the house and getting more tired in the evenings.
other things:
top 12 in idol is going to be good. although i do think some of the girls got sent home too early, it was a tough choice because there were more then 6 girls overall who were pretty good.
LOST still blows my mind, pretty much weekly. i just love it. i don't care what other people think, i love everything they do on that show. i trust the process entirely.
i need to keep up the photoblog, new dog or not.
when the fuck is it going to stop raining? if this is because of global warming, i might have to get on board with all that environment crap.
in that same token, still no flooding in the basement. so yay for that. i guess if there wasn't this much rain, we would have to wait and worry about our new "anti-flooding your basement and ruining your shit" system.
i say this a lot, but i really need to start painting. i also need to clean my basement, since it still has moving boxes. and i think it would be nice to have a clean basement.
ok, i am going to go and wake bryan up with the dogs. good times.
