Where have I been?
September 30th, 2006
I hope I don’t always have an excuse. We’re almost out of the old house, almost done with that albatross. Then it’s just the unpacking. But that’s no excuse. I can’t always have an excuse. I mean that in an abstract intellectual way; that I can’t turn things I hate into excuses.
That’s about not writing.
But I haven’t been posting here so much kind of ’cause of Dante. My sleep schedule is messed up ’cause of him and all my posts used to either be right after I got up or at work.
On Dante himself: I’m happy with him, except for the cat situation. Yeah, he destroys stuff, yeah, he fucks up my sleep schedule. Yeah, I might complain. Yeah, there’s stuff I’d change and yeah, we’re working on some of those. And yeah, I’m making it harder on myself than I have to in a few ways. If I kept him locked up in a very small space anytime I wasn’t ready to fully focus on him, things would be easier. And he might not even mind. Instead, I sometimes put him in the office when I leave home, or put him outside on a tieout line for a while during the day (and keep the door open and a close eye on both dogs) or on the other end of a leash I wear around my ankle. And I think, when it’s a baby, some of these things won’t be legal.
Of course, it takes two humans to get a baby and just one human to get a puppy.
Anyhow, might be time for my morning nap now.
Haha… I’d keep a kid on a leash, take him for walks, tie him up out side, and the kid would turn out healthy :D, yet I’m a kid so I think different from you “adult” figures…
Yes, Nathan, the problem isn’t how the kid would turn out but the fact that you’d get arrested and the kid would be taken away from you. You’ll notice I said ‘won’t be legal’.
notice I was joking
My mother used to tie my little sister, Kelly, to a leash tied around a large pine tree in our back yard. But that’s before there were laws against such things.
Hmm … Puppies need good, strong discipline. Keep doing the best you can to be consistent in what you teach Dante.
Is he old enough for obidence training yet?
