I have spent most of today hobbling about thanks to a strained knee and a bruise across the top of my foot. I'll let you guess which awesome, disc-related sport is responsible.
On that note, this has made walking the dog a significantly more trying experience. I've been having good results training her to come (using an extension cord tied to the leash). She did so well yesterday that I decided to go without today. The results were not encouraging!
And of course, I can't catch her without a bum leg.
Thankfully, the squirrels were pretty spry.

Betrayal!
So Sydney (the dog) is here now. We've been getting along well. She follows me from room to room and guards me from my roommates. I had forgotten just how terrified she is of most people. That's what happens when you're born in a Mennonite puppy mill, I guess.
Thus far I've enjoyed hanging out with the dog. I've already taught her to come when I call her (something she was definitely no good at yesterday). That's because I am awesome. At dogs.
My roommates tolerate her fine; all except one. The cat. This morning she was waiting outside my door, staring at me. Judging me.
Skittles' accusatory look says it all: "What have you brought into my home?!"

Impending Doom!
In less than an hour my friend's dog arrives, when I'll be taking care of her for the next three days. The dog, not my friend. Try and keep up.
She (the dog) is adorable, and a barely contained ball of crazy. Throw a frisbee anywhere in a 5 mile radius and she will leap 6 feet straight up to retrieve it. She can also run flat out for hours. Bitch doesn't have an off-switch.
That said, I am excited! I really love dogs, and can't wait for the day I can have my own. And I like my dogs the same way I like my women: athletic, smart, and CRAZY!*
So, Reader, be warned. There may be some dog posts in our future!
*I am reforming though. I'm trying to stay away from crazies; they are my kryptonite. Right now I'm looking for a keeper. That's called growth.
