Stormy Waters

Well today I got not one but TWO thunderstorms and these ones were big! Nobody expected me to handle them very well because I always bark at even the smallest ones, but I didn't make a peep during today's... well maybe a GRR here and a woof there as it first rolled in but that was it, I just lazed around watching the flashes of bright lightning, and listening to the crackle of intense thunder, and the sounds of heavy downpours flooding our streets... and our basement. Yeah in your faces know-it-all humans, I'm not such a baby after all :-P

Mommy dropped her ipod in my water dish today... rut roh! See, my dish sits at the edge of her desk and her ipod was charging on her desk and she isn't sure if she caught the cord with her hair straightener or if I caught the cord with my paw but somehow her Ipod ended up right smack PLOOSH in my water dish. Now it's turning itself on, but only for a few seconds at a time, is only showing a completely blank white screen, and the computer isn't even recognizing it. According to apple.com her Ipod serial number is still covered under warranty until October so hopefully they either repair or replace it... that's her music in the car ya know... jeeze ipod gods why couldn't you just let it float and be okay after swimming in my dish.

Speaking of my dish I got a new one a couple of days ago. I used to have two small metal ones, and mommy kept seeing this really cute one at the pet store... it's plastic, and my water dish and food dish are attached to one another making it harder for me to push it around, and it's ADORABLE, it's white and blue, with dog bones on each side, and cut-out dog bones on either side, and the real plus is that the plastic inserts (for food and water) are disposable, so I used them once, and get a new one so my food and stuff stays cleaner. You'd think I'd be super pumped, but NO I was afraid of it at first. I dropped my toe, ran into the corner barking and growling, then I'd slowly creep up, peer around the bed to see if it was still there and bark and growl some more when it wasn't gone... hahahahahaha. I finally braved it and ate some food out of it today, but the water still scares me, my grandma thinks it's because I can see through my water, and the plastic insert and see my placement (which happens have a dog on it) staring back at me... it's gonna take some time for me to get used to seeing through my water, to the floor, and having something looking back at me, even if that something is just painted on.

Meatball goes to good ole' Dr. Clauss tomorrow morning to have his sutures removed! Mamie is afraid that because he's scratched before the vet is gonna take these sutures out and have to replace them with more rather than declaring him healed enough to go suture-less, so keep your paws crossed everyone and we'll update you as soon as he gets home!

I'm off to bed, it's late and I'm one tuckered out little pup.
