Oh, I’m Going to Miss the Olympics
It’s been a fun couple of weeks…on television at least. There’s nothing Leigh-Ann and I enjoy more than a couple of weeks of Olympic viewing, day and night. The last Olympics didn’t involve such drama away from our television, but it’s been a nice mental break to concentrate on the events. I remember when we first met, we spent two weeks at our friends’ place watching the Nagano Olympics, rarely leaving to even get food. It’s funny how so much has changed, but yet in some cases, nothing has changed. We can still spend 24/7 watching the Olympics and never get bored, even when watching events that we’d never watch at any other time of the year. Yeah, I’m talking to you, Nordic-Combined and Biathalon.
I miss blogging, but I’m not sure what to talk about. I’ll try to think of some good news. Wait, I know - Mack, the German Shepherd that we rescued, will now let me leave the bedroom without jumping over the baby gate to follow me wherever I go. Man, this dog has the worst separation anxiety of any dog I’ve ever met. We adopted him to keep Dante company after Eli died in June, but unfortunately, Mack won’t spend any time with Dante, unless we’re standing there with him. So, poor Dante is still lonely and now we have a German Shepherd added to the already beast-full master bedroom. He’s basically a really good dog, but he must’ve had a really lousy life before he ended up at the shelter. I hope that someday soon he’ll be able to hang out with Dante for a few hours at a time. Dante needs a big dog pal.
Here’s a picture of Mack, sitting in (15lb) Cricket’s bed. He loves to “try” to curl up in Cricket’s bed. He’ll eye it from across the room, and then he’ll literally run right over to it and start spinning his big body to get as tiny as he can, but he always ends up spilling over the sides. It’s really adorable though. If we had extra cash, we’d buy him a big bed with sides, but for now, he’ll have to settle for the two big Orvis beds that are in the bedroom. Poor dog, suffering like that. LOL

terribly early in the morning
Daily Rituals
Aw, isn’t it sweet, someone checks my blog almost every single morning around 8 am. Nothing says “time to wake up” like a cup of coffee and a dose of Flippy. Keep checking, I still have some blog entries in mind for you. In the meantime, why don’t you get started reading here and see if you can find yourself. For those of you who are less obsessive about me, you should check out the link, too, but only for pure entertainment value.
