You haven't seen this, you must. So funny.

Yes yes, I've fallen into the trap of buying super cute outfits for my very small dog.
I stumbled upon this store called Trixie and Peanut in the Soho district today and got Chewie 4 very cute outfits. I will be posting some fashion show photos after I get home. I draw the line at doggie pajamas and bath robes though. Seriously.
I put in an application earlier in the week to adopt one of these cuties. I'll know by end of week if my app was accepted as there were 4 people ahead of me (due to stupid online app disappearing). Keeping fingers crossed. I'm trying to give little Solo a brother or sister :)
Went to @bethgo's house last night (I met her on BrightKite) and hung out with her and 2 other friends that I knew. Watched Mad Men (never seen it, but it's good) and talked geek. I was able to bring Solo to play with @bethgo's little dog Willie and Solo was tuckered out by the time we got home around 1130pm. While I was getting ready for bed, Solo crashed on my side of the bed completely. I didn't want to move her cuz she was so endearing and so I positioned my body around hers as not to disturb her. Damn. I did not sleep well. I think my neck was bending awkwardly all night. Owie. Solo, of course, slept super well and I even had to wake her up this morning as I was leaving for work. Cute.
There are few things that really set me off:
- when I finally realize/feel that I'm being taken advantaged of because of my good nature
- when someone back stabs me and/or not being direct with me
- animal cruelty or mistreatment of animals
Today, I will talk about item 3.
My neighbor 2 doors down has this Great Dane 6 months old puppy named Amos. He is huge, and probably has his head come up to my chest already at his young age. A shy dog but a nice dog. All of the townhomes in the back row have enclosed yards but with short 4 feet fences. The two non-end units (mine and the one to the right of Amos' townhome) do not have gates on their fence and you can only access the yard from the back door of the house. This means that in order to get out of the yard, you have to have a way inside the house from the yard and exit from the other end of the house.
Last week while I was sick and stayed home for most of the week, I heard Amos barking and whining here and there. He is left out by himself almost everyday. Over the weekend, he was again left out and he saw me and barked. I heard a voice from inside his house saying "Amos, shut up". I just want to go knock on their door and say, you have a fucking puppy and he needs a lot of attention than you are willing to give him.
Today I've been working from home and I hear sad Amos whine here and there. Like, really desperate heart breaking cries of loneliness. I so want to go over and pet him because I can see him from my yard.
Why do people think it's OK to get an animal and not pay attention to it? Especially when the animal is a puppy and you need to get it socialized with people and other dog. This dog is isolated in a tiny ass yard almost 24x7... rain or shine. This makes me angry and sad. :(
Had an appointment to visit my little dog Solo today at boarding school. She is doing wonderfully! Comes to me when called and just a smart curious love bug. I will get her home next Saturday and I can't wait to introduce her to our new home :) I loves her... it's nice not having another being to take care of in a way but I really do miss having her around. The joy she brings me is just truly fabulous.
Then I made the mistake thinking that I'm feeling better so I should go stop by Costco and get a few things. UGH. I felt like shit the whole time and felt worse and worse as the time went on. Super light headed, exhausted, tightness/slight pain in chest, queezy. I made an appointment to see my doctor for this afternoon. I just don't know wtf is up with this stupid flu. I thought I was getting better... apparently not... and it's not normal for a person to sleep an entire day and not get better by the next day. I hope I don't have walking pneumonia (a few people I know at work has it... is it contagious?).
Nap time again.
I will get to see her for an hour on Saturday where she gets to show off to her momma what she's learned.
