Oh Poooh

yesterday, i think it was rainy in the morning, and although it had not been that long since Diesel had gone out, he was whining. but we thought it was mostly because we were in and out of rooms and he was showing some separation anxiety. because he does that sometimes. long and behold, he really needed to go, and couldn't contain himself any longer and unloaded a nice smelly one in the kitchen floor. Didn't seem like it smelled that stinky at first but as i was cleaning it, the smell was getting to me more and more. the rest of the day went pretty smoothly. although he had scared Misty as she was going out the door and for fear that he would drive her away if we let him out loose, we kept him on leash for the rest of the day when we went outside. was happy to learn that Misty came back this morning.

Today was our first time leaving Diesel alone at home for any amount of time. in this case, from 7 am to 1:30pm. it was nice to hear him bark when i put my key in the keyhole. it made me feel like if someone tried to break in, that kind of greeting could make them think twice.

This morning Diesel was playfull, so i tossed the ball for him a few times, and Owen wanted to do the same. until today Diesel didn't listen to Owen's directions. but today, he did great and Owen was so excited. i think it made his day, or at least part of it. It made me very happy too.
