Yeah, so this year... :/
Jul. 28th, 2014 08:17 pmYeah, so I totally fail at keeping up with this thing like I wanted. I'll try again to get my crap together. Though nothing much has really changed.
Except I got a puppy. It was a late birthday present from the roomie. We had lost her dog at the end of March. We don't know what he did but he somehow dislocated some of his spine. So it could have been rough playing with Trixie and he just twisted wrong? We don't know. The vet couldn't control the pain and she wasn't going to put him through that while they tried to figure out what would fix it. The surgery that could have been done wasn't a high guarantee. There was still a 40 percent change he would never be able to walk.
Anyway, she contacted the breeder that she had gotten him from and asked if she could get a puppy from one of next year's litters. The response she got back is that she could have one from this years litter. and it wasn't long before it was 'oh yeah! Your puppy is already paid for.' Turns out that the one woman who had one of Tanner's half-brothers paid for him in full because she knew how upset the roomie was that she lost Tanner. The woman works for the US Embassy and is currently down in Mexico. It was very cool of her to do. So the roomie figured since I put up with her cranky butt (:)) all the time and actually let her have space, I got one two. They are both corgis. I have to learn how to deal with a dog again since I haven't had one for...umm... before I graduated high school, which is a long time. They are both black headed tris.
So Trixie has playmates. She's only just now getting more confident that if she plays a little rough, they won't get seriously hurt. As of this past weekend, they are at 15 weeks old and so big compared to what they were when we brought them home.
Writing: Gah. I go through long periods of not doing more than a few hundred words. I'm trying to do better but we'll see. I need to find some kind of exercise that helps me keep the momentum going. Grah.
