What A Night

Nope I wasn't up partying all night - heck I wasn't even up not partying all night. I played around on the computer until about 1:00 a.m., and then decided I should go to bed so I would be ready for Friday (today!). After taking the dog outside for one last hurrah, I came back inside, got ready for bed, and crawled under the covers. Then the dog started whining, and whining, and whining, and just continued on. But this was no ordinary whine, this was one that would escalate the deeper I fell into sleep. When I would wake up, she would be quiet, but as I drifted off into sleep, she would whine louder and louder ... and then the aneurysms came, nearly. This is all on top of the fact that Kim had no voice left yesterday and she was already exhausted from a week of hard work. Long story short, I took her outside again at about 2 a.m., she did her business (again), and then I put her in her kennel in the spare room, where I also slept all night (on a couch, not in the kennel). I also threw pillows at her kennel every time she yelped and whined, for about a half hour until I finally slipped into a blissful coma. Woke up tired which is the worst feeling in the world as far as I'm concerned. Fed the dog, she was being super hyper which I just was not in the mood for so I did a lot of "NO!"-ing this morning. OH, and then, she peed on the floor which I had to clean up even though I was already running late for work. (I also got stopped by a flagger on my way to work while some construction workers did tasks that took entirely too long). I think the highlight of my morning was that our dog knows that if she pees on the floor, she gets swatted. But she remembers from back in her puppy days (one week ago) that if she pees on papers, she does not get swatted. So, she put these facts together in her dog brain, and ripped a bunch of toilet paper off the roll when I wasn't looking, arranged them into a pile in the middle of the floor, and peed on that. I mean, yeah, I have to consider that she tried to be clean, but I was still mad that she made peepee on my floorfloor.
