Different. All the Shepherds we looked at were indifferent to Nick, and she's going to be his dog. He wanted one that would love him immediately :) The puppy we're getting is half Border Collie (dam) and half Australian Shepherd (sire). It was nice going to go look at the pups--I know the owner through work, but hadn't been to her house. Both she and her husband are nice, as are the puppy parents. Both calm, well-mannered dogs, and the pups have a clean, nice area. The owners breed their dogs once a year and treat all of their animals (3 dogs when they don't have pups, 9 cats, 22 assorted chickens and ducks, 4 horses) well, so no puppy mill. Nick is so happy.
Oh she will be a little beauty! Brilliant choice, I bet she'll practically train herself. That made me smile so much when you said how she approached and took to Nick, just brilliant.
I am getting very excited for you all and will love to hear updates and see photos... remember to be kind to yourself, you're still very much grieving. (((A)))

Four hours' sleep in Taipei, 6:00 am as I post this, and been up for a few hours. I thought powering through most of the plane ride here would help me get a full night's sleep, but I was wrong.

Try again tonight. First World problem.
Hope your body clock adjusts soon - will you be there long?

So far have not gotten too much accomplished except for folding my son's laundry that was in the dryer.

Still have to go do a load that is in the washer and also fluff up some clothes of mine Josh took out of the dryer and crammed into a cardboard box - I hope I can get the wrinkles out without having to rewash the whole lot!

(It's not his fault - I told him to do it last night before bed, but wow - I wasn't expecting them to be that bad :tounge::icon_eek: - today is his first day back to work after 10 days off).

Was at work from 5 am to 11.30 am. Took a nap after work, was very tired. Read a little before I went to my parents house to go
for a walk with my dogs. Now I take it easy.
I was enjoying a nice quiet day at home, baking cookies, taking it easy and paying some bills on-line.

Was pleasantly surprised when I heard a knock at the back door and a friend popped in to say hello.

Tomorrow I work at 4:30 p.m. so still lots of free time to do what I want;

Having said that I must now log off and go deal with some laundry! (maybe even a bit or ironing for work)

I worked today. I think,the new manager will work out. It was already a bit more orderly in the back,proceseeing. Ie my fellow co-workers are not treating it like some sort of dido or party hall atmosphere. Also wondering how CUJIO is pronounced? Was listing to a joe hill intervew from his appeared earlier at a Spanish comic con, and he was saying the J is pronuced more like an H. And some how people started to say the J as a J sound

did battle with ants in a dishwasher. the bugs are really out of control this year. stupid lack of real winter. fought off gnats a few weeks ago. but i got the ants some lovely terro from the store, and they've been banqueting for a bit, and hopefully will soon be vanquished.

i've never been a huge fan of cold weather, but damned if these little buggers don't have me looking forward to winter somewhat.

Trapped in the house by street work, watched the street work, took pictures and texted pictures and information to family and friends. A man saw me trying to take a picture of a truck blocking my driveway--which I did not get due to a tree in the way--and said very pleasantly to let him know if I needed anything, and had another man move the truck. It was very nice, but did no good, if I had wanted out, as the street was blocked at both ends and there has been no back way to get a car off the property basically since we moved here 48 years ago! We had the same issue as Henry's neighbor in Henry and the Clubhouse by Beverly Cleary--the garage was built for a 1916-era car, not the late '50s-early '60s such as Henry's neighbor and my dad had. The car would fit in the garage--barely--but could not be driven in by way of the alley. So Dad had the back of the garage blocked off and it's been that way ever since. I have a smaller car now but the garage is blocked by other things.

I told the man I would say he was nice and not difficult like the raccoon man, who made me so fear for the fate of the coons I had to release them myself. The man was extra nice, said over the years he had owned 30 or 40 coons which made wonderful pets, that they were more loyal than a cat and at least as loyal as a dog--that if he and his dad had even a small, pretend fight, his dad's coon would attack him and his coon would attack his dad! He was super extra nice. Of course the raccoon man works for the city and this guy works for some contracting outfit hired by the city for the street work and therein, I think, lies the difference.

I looked at some dvd's and went to the hardware store to get some washers for the shower faucet because of dripping water out of the shower head. Last night I talked to someone about whether the Omen movie stacks up to the Exorcist. I said that I like David Warner as an actor and I reckon that the scene in the cemetery when they dig up the grave is great and much better than today if they did it with special effects.
