Since yesterday was so nice, we did a lot of playing outside with Jake. He’s so high energy but doesn’t really have a lot of focus. No interest in chasing the ball, but he likes this discus-type thing I bought. He doesn’t want to catch it, he just wants to bring it to me and then play tug-of-war with it. I have a video of that, but it’s not near as hilarious without audio, so let me work on that before I roll it out as the Most Ferocious Dog Ever video. I wish Dwight had the camera on us at one point, when every bit of Jake left the ground in his attempt to vanquish the floppy Wal-Mart discus.
Anyway, here is a little video of Jake loving on his new parents. We adopted him officially on Saturday. So, meet Jake Chambers of Richmond Johnson.
At the risk of sounding like a trivial blogger, I want to talk about the weather for a minute. I hate, and I mean hate, the cold. I know we should be glad for it to be cold because it means that the global warming isn’t melting positively every single iceberg in the whole world right this minute, but as a arthritic psoriatic (and also an enormous wussy) I would rather go south and wait for this chill to pass.
Looming unemployment and being smack in the thick of my last semester of my undergrad, traveling is not really an option right now. So I’m trying to think of ways to stay warm and feel better without spending a lot of money, going anywhere, or staying in the bathtub 24/7. Because that would seriously hamper my productivity.
Stay tuned for my findings, which are sure to be a poor substitute for, say, Florida.
