Hmmm I always say I'm going to write in this ... and then of course I don't. I'm trying to find a reason to now tho... and I think I've found it. I'm attempting ... course keep in mind I said attempting cause I've attempted to do this several times ... to keep at it. So now I'm going to post a picture a day ... we'll see how that goes. This is Bud. My almost constant companion. We walk several times a day and this is one of his favorite places to lay, in the middle of my couch behind where I sit at the computer. He's part lab and ... part who knows what else. I've always thought he was part greyhound. He can almost outrun a rabbit and I don't think he ever gets tired!!

it's been one of those days

woke up this morning not feeling especially good. played with Bud in the yard quite a bit this morning and walked a bit but didn't get it recorded on RunKeeper which is kind of annoying. I apparently walked and forgot to turn the app on on my phone. Oh well I know I walked it so I'll just have to deal.

Started getting a bad headache not sure if it's sinus or migraine all I really know is it HURTS!! still. Laid down and took a several hour nap with my meta meta (my cat). He is SOOO jealous of Bud it's not even funny. He has become more love me I'm here than he has been in a long time and I'm sure it's cause Bud is getting more attention. So needless to say Meta Meta is sleeping in bed with us again.

After I woke up from my nap I thought I'll mess on the computer a while. Well I was going thru my email and trying to drink my Mt. Dew (hoping it would help get rid of the headache) and jerked pretty bad. Dropped the Mt. Dew on my wireless keyboard which then fell to the floor. The Mt. Dew not the keyboard. So I'm HOPING my keyboard doesn't end up all sticky and such cause I don't really want to have to replace it and I don't want to have to take it apart. I've taken keyboards apart but never a wireless one yet. We shall see.

I'm headed back to bed now before my headache gets worse. have a good night all!

At the Vet

Took Bud to the vet this morning and he was GREAT!! Had a little trouble getting him to come in but once he was inside he was great. Walked without having to be drug along and they were all pretty impressed with the way he was walking on the leash :D

He weighs 11.2 pounds. Got his shots and has to go back for more in 3 weeks. no worms (good thing) and got started on his heartworm medicine and Frontline to keep the fleas off :D

When we got ready to leave these big dogs were sitting in front and he was like hmmm maybe I need to be a bad dog and let them know it LOL. he was growling and carrying on and they were just totally oblivious. Got up and walked away from him. Course the owners of the two big dogs said it happens all the time. :D especially with little weiner dogs. Anyways. Good day all in all and only walked twice today since most of the day I slept :(

Bud

Bud is my walking partner (and my dog). He's a cute little chocolate lab mix (mom was Lab not sure what dad was and don't really care). He's a great dog. Willing to go with me on my early morning walks (5:30 am). I am walking him twice a day. I decided today I was going to walk him a little earlier (before supper instead of after) and he decided he would rather NAP!! What? Are you kidding me? He ALWAYS wants to go. Apparently he's feeling lazy. So I went by myself (and yes I will turn around and go again here in a bit). I just wasn't planning on going all that far. Just a couple blocks but he didn't wanna go. Oh well.

I have only officially had Bud two days. But he's been walking with me in the morning for a couple weeks now. Maybe less. Don't really remember. I was walking one morning and he saw me and said OH GOODY let's tag along. And he's been tagging along ever since. I love it. Even tho I am generally listening to a podcast just knowing I'm not by myself is kinda nice :D

I need weight while I sleep

No I'm not talking about someone. I'm talking about someTHING!! I don't know why but I can't sleep without the weight of a blanket. My favorite weight would have to be a blanket that belonged to my grandma. I LOVE that blanket. It doesn't smell like grandma's house much anymore. I'd give anything to have grandma rather than the blanket but it's warm and soft and yet cool which is hard to explain. No matter how hot I get I can stand to have this quilt/blanket on me while I sleep. Without any weight I toss and turn and can't sleep no matter what I do.

I discovered this a long time ago but it really hit home last night. My feet were hot and I didn't want to sleep under the cover (and I have a comforter not the grandma blanket. My daughter is currently sleeping with it and doesn't particularly like having to give up the grandma blanket so ... I let her use it lol

In any case I would pull the covers off my feet and then lay there wide awake and couldn't go back to sleep. Finally I said well I guess I'm just gonna have to have hot feet. Covered up my feet and slept fine until 530 a.m. when the duck hunters started shooting at the ducks.

Boy I hope they got several cause that's all I've heard all day long!!
