It's been about a month since I've been able to compose myself long enough to write. My train of thought and focus has been derailed for over two months. Living with a puppy is tough mentally. It's also very time consuming, as I'm finding out.
My days are still filled with work, though they begin a bit earlier now that I must take Xerxes out for the morning stroll. Once we load up in the truck he's ready to go to work. His mornings are pure leisure, by any account. He eats a nice breakfast, strolls around the lot to make his morning rounds and then he goes to sleep. He awakens about 11am to make the rounds again and eat lunch. Then it's playtime for 20-30 minutes and back to bed until 3:30 or so. Our day ends at 4:30pm as we load up into the truck and head home. It's a short ride but he makes the most of it by watching for anyone to get too close to the truck. Then he goes back to sleep. Upon our arrival home, he is usually so tired from the ride that he doesn't want to get out of the truck at all. So after 5 minutes of coaxing he debarks and promptly lies down in the grass. 15 minutes later, if I'm lucky, we're inside eating dinner with the cat. "Scrambled eggs and dogfood...Oh MY!" Then it's naptime again. After our short nap we go to the dog park from 7pm until it closes at dark. We shower, then get ready for bed. Then at 11 or 11:30 we go out for our last walk. Wow what a full day we've had.
That, is a summary of how my life has been for the last 9 weeks. Of course that's minus all the friends we have coming over, all the going out we do and all of the friends that come over...
