So, we adopted a 2 month old pup, a red heeler, from the humane society. He's sleeping right now, but at 6:00 am he was up and wanted to play. We have some old ski poles downstairs that he likes to herd, and he loves to fetch his toy rope. After about 30 minutes of playing he conks out, but when he wakes up again his battery is recharged and it's wildness all over again.

He's had his first Parvovirus/ distemper vaccine, and he gets a booster next week. After that we can take him out walking on sidewalks; Parvo is deadly, and spread through feces, so we're going to hold off on the parks for a while. It's hard to exercise an active puppy when he has to stay inside, so I'm looking forward to being able to go out with him.

In other news, still looking for work, but I have some promising leads. Here's hoping . . .
