It was the last beautiful day of the year I think. It’s supposed to do nothing but colder from here on out through the weekend. Good thing I have a four day weekend coming up. How lucky am I?
The pups have been great! I worked with Ben last night before dinner time on some basic obedience. He is learning “stay” from the “down” position and allowing me to walk away. He did really, really well. We also worked on “front” and random “sits” and “downs”. We worked just a few minutes but he tried his hardest and wants to do his best.
The two of them slept peacefully in the living room last night while I slept in bed. It was awesome sleep and they kept each other company so I didn’t feel bad. This morning I was so refreshed from three good nights of sleep that I actually went out running. I even did some weight training last night too. Whew. It’s amazing what a positive attitude can change!
The weekend is coming up! Yippee!! I haven’t been to a movie in ages so I think I’m going to do that, Body of Lies maybe, or Apaloosa, not sure which. I also have the Wisconsin Dog Fair on Sunday, so that will keep me busy! I’d also like to catch up with some friends I haven’t seen and I actually have some work stuff that REALLY needs to get done.
Nothing else too exciting. I’ve read the first few chapters of “Eclipse” and I’m so happy that I went and bought the book. I went to Stephenie Meyer’s website yesterday to see what else she had on the horizon and it looks like by the time I finish her currently published books there should be another one out there for me to read! Woot!!

Good Morning!!
Today is the first day that Ben has to stay at home while I go to work. We went for a long walk this morning before I left and he should be tired enough to sleep until I get home.
Our walk was so much fun. This is the second walk that he and Alley have been on and they were much better today, not that they were bad before, but every day they grow closer and this morning they were in a cooperative mood. Every leaf that moved they both investigated. What one looked at the other had to see too. It was fun. It reminded me of the days of Alley and Topper. That makes my heart happy!
I think we make quite the picture as we walk. We had a young man with a pitbull cross to the other side of the street when he saw us coming. I had another older man go off the sidewalk and pass us about 6 feet away. As we’re passing he smiles and says to me, “You know what you have there?” I respond, “What?”. He says, “You have the right of way!” I laughed for a block.
Ben was in a great mood this morning. The walk was a necessity if he was going to stay in today. He and Alley were playing as I was trying to get out of bed, not so easy for me! Alley is notoriously fun loving in the morning. She thinks morning is the most exciting and fun time of the day. We do not share that feeling! She was barking at Ben, play bowing, trying to get him to get up. He thankfully slept from midnight to 0630 without so much as moving, and had I gone to bed earlier, I would have gotten more sleep as he had been out for hours before I finally stopped reading and went to bed.
Of course, if I wasn’t reading this book, I’d get more sleep. In the past two weeks I’ve read first, “Twilight” and now I just have 60 pages left in “New Moon”. Ugh… I guess I better go buy the third book tonight! That’s “Eclipse”, right?
