It was also Dominik's 41st birthday, so we headed up to Ansonia with the puppy to add to the crazy of a newborn, a 4 month old, a 2 year old, and soon to be 3 year old, and relatives from Poland in town from England for a visit. Pouring rain mean we all were int he same two rooms and nothing can match the shrill of screaming cousins excited to see each other and to have everything go their way. The dazzle of a new puppy last .5 seconds. The dog had it right...he found another room where it was quiet, jumped up on a chair, and fell asleep.
My own dog and her visiting pal had me up at 6 a.m. as they decided I'd be best for their downward dog poses as they woke up...one across my legs and the other my chest.
We got out long hike in the morning (when it was still humid) and the rain followed soon after. It was good, though, because it kept me trapped for a morning of writing. I felt like I got som work done.
Today, the weather is supposed to part and I believe I'll be cooking for friends in the evening (what? still to decide). I told Pam, though, that it makes it hard not to want to be at her place for total puppy time....the days where they play until they collapsed to the side snoring....just go go go and zonk. plop. ZZZZZZ. It's hilarious, especially with their pot bellies and puppy breath.
And I should probably go a grocery store. I hate them, but I need to prep.
