Forgot to mention that on the drive home, we saw a beautiful dalmatian! He was highly unusual in that he had a short tail (maybe six inches?), but we went by him too fast to see much. He was wearing some sort of vest, so I'm not sure if they were training him to be an assistance dog, or what. Anyway, you don't see that many dalmatians around town, so that was a treat. I still miss my Justice. :o)

YES!! Look! Last fm is working with LJ again. Weird since it wasn't working ten minutes ago, but that's okay with me. ^__^

Well, you know how Gmail has those little links on the side that relate to your email? (Well, for the most part they relate. Sometimes you wonder how in the world they came up with the links as they don't seem to match at all!) Anyway, they had more dog collar links and I found one that looks really neat.

This particular one is for the wild west type dog, and a bit more budget friendly. This particular collar, anyway, the site does have some pricier stuff! I like this one though. Just got Nate a great new leash - it's black braided with reflective tape, so it's a neat black and silver braid and it's sturdy and soft at the same time. I LOVE it. But Nate's had the same collar for about five years, so it's tempting to find something new and fun for him. *cough* New for him, fun for me. ^___^ They also have little charms that are super cute.


Turns out that we're not going to get to see the other Doberman tomorrow as we'd planned. Since Heather was able to adopt Baby (and not be able to adopt Daniella) the current owner doesn't really have time to show her off. Which is understandable, but since Michael's been talking about visiting Daniella for two weeks... So we're going to the Portland Zoo tomorrow. Yay! Looking forward to it. OMG, I need to buy more film though. Oops. Mmm. Well, I think Rite-Aid should be open in the morning. I can drop off the other rolls and buy new ones. lol. Anyway, that'll be great fun. We've not been up to the Zoo for a number of years and hopefully Michael's at a stage where he'll really enjoy it.

New photos of Nate. He was shedding like crazy in these, though!

Today was great fun. Had a mellow morning around here, then gathered up all my cans and all the housemates' bottles and went to Safeway. Ended up with about $7.50!! Bought lunch so I could eat in the truck on the way to Heather's, so I didn't end up with that much cash, but still it was good! Plus it's amazing what just that amount of stuff out of the garage does to make it seem much roomier.

Anyway, got to Heather's and we went down the road to one of her sort-of-neighbors and met her dobermans. Sooooooo pretty!!! Heather's been talking with her for years, and they know each other well enough now that she is letting Heather walk the female. Her name is Baby, and she's such a sweetheart!! We walked for at least an hour and she was very, very tired when we got her back! lol. We walked Caesar just a bit due to some health issues, and petted him and talked with him a long time. Then we went and picked up Michael, drove around a little bit, and then had pizza for dinner. Mmm. It was a lovely afternoon/evening.

Why is it that everyone seems to be having a hard time sleeping this week, or at least the last few days? I wonder if it's because the weather went from being sunny to cloudy and still sunny...though, that was just last night that it rained. Still, I suppose the pressure could have been there before. Or it could just be coincidence that lots of people are having a hard time sleeping all at once. *shrug*
