Random Notes
Last weekend I was so neglected. Katie's dad came and he visited with me (he makes funny noises) and that was nice. But, really he must've come to see them, because they spent most of their time outside. When they came inside they were obsessed with washing their hands. I couldn't see what they were doing so I chewed on the curtains. Usually, when they find I did something they didn't like, I feel bad and go away so I won't be around people who are mad at me. This weekend, I didn't care, I thought they should ignore it and pet me already.
We saw some kids walking, last Saturday and last night. Someone needs to tell them that I am not a toy. Five kids hanging around going "sit," "stay," "stand," "lie down." They're just kids, and they squeal, so I ignored them. But it gets old. I don't even know stand. If I rolled around to get my haulti off they just squealed. On Saturday, there was a boy M who has a German Shepherd, and he was okay, because he knew how to be around dogs.
I still haven't caught a metro bus. Last night I also saw a "Maryland Commuter Bus." I might try to catch one of those instead. I haven't had much luck with Metro busses, and Katie and Joe have started shortening my leash when they're around.
The Washington Express guy has changed and my friend isn't there any more. Not that I paid him much attention while he was there. Usually, I was trying to spot squirrels. But, now there's no one to say "Hey, Big Man" to me in the mornings. Maybe he's just on vacation.
On the upside, I keep running into S in the morning, as well as A. Also, B is becoming more social and when we're both off leash we get in some really good runs. He just needs to realize that I may be laid back, but I'm not submissive.
