The biggest excitement of that weekend was the addition of a new dog to the house.\u00a0 You might be saying to yourself,\u00a0 “New dog??!!\u00a0 I thought you were done with dogs?\u00a0 I thought Donette was out of town?\u00a0 I thought you had two ounces of common sense?”\u00a0 Well, true, all true.\u00a0 (With the possible exception of the last one.)\u00a0 Things just sort of fell into place though.\u00a0 “Went with the moment,” so to speak.\u00a0 This little ‘un is a refugee from St. Louis.\u00a0 A friend of Donette’s sister had taken her in as a stray a few weeks ago, but couldn’t keep her.\u00a0 I just so happened to have a friend driving back from there on Friday, so I figured what the heck.\u00a0 (Well, at least he was my friend before driving 4 hours with “my” puppy on his leather seats.)\u00a0 So anyway, the dog journeyed to KC on Friday, and I went and picked her up that afternoon.\u00a0 So far, so good.\u00a0 She has been remarkably well behaved;\u00a0 Almost to the point of arousing suspicion.\u00a0 We are struggling to come up with a name though.\u00a0 They called her “Athena” and she does respond well to that.\u00a0 But, I think it’s good ju-ju to name your own dog so we’re trying to come up with something else.\u00a0 On the short list so far are Reegan, Teagan, Reeces, Peanut, Theena, and approximately 20 others.\u00a0 Quite the variation there, huh.\u00a0 Actually I sort of like “Peanut” if it wasn’t such a goofy name.\u00a0 That one might make the nickname list.\u00a0 So here is a picture of her that her rescuers in St. Louis sent me.\u00a0 She looks quite a bit darker in person than she looks here, but I’ve been too lazy to drag out my own camera so this will do.<\/p>\n

** Edit:\u00a0 We’ve agreed on “Teagan.”\u00a0 She has been dubbed.<\/p>\n

So what else went on this weekend?\u00a0 Well, for the most part I tried to hang out at the house and get the pup settled in.\u00a0 Lots of walks, lots of fetch, and lots of watching basketball.\u00a0 I did make it out to Mom’s Saturday afternoon and got her new computer set up.\u00a0 MAN that thing is fast, makes me want a new one too.\u00a0 (This and every other want for the foreseeable future will be responded to with “We don’t have money for that, you wanted a dog instead.”)\u00a0 This also gave me an opportunity to try kenneling the pup, which went just fabulously.\u00a0 The only other time I got out of the house was for a nice bike ride Sunday afternoon with Munkirs & Martin.\u00a0 Well, at least it was a nice ride for Munkirs and I;\u00a0 Chris suffered a catastrophic failure of his Internet-Bike early in the ride and had to call in support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
