Has there been an apocalypse? Is it just me, Edie, and two increasingly irritating dogs left on Earth? I am about 70% sure that the world is still populated. After all, my internet connection fails when encountered by a gentle breeze, so global catastrophe would almost certainly do it in. On the other hand, for the past week, I have only left the house for letting the dogs out and there is nothing conclusive on whether those I encounter during these brief respites aren't in fact zombies. It would actually explain a lot.
It has rained the entire week, which has really drained most of the joy out the already obligatory dog walks. Not to mention the narrow-eyed glances I get from the neighbors (zombies) as I drag out my three month old in the pouring rain for the tenth, eleventh, twelfth time this week.
A dog sitter was set to come and pick up the dogs yesterday. It was to be a "trial run," since we wanted to leave them for a month with her this summer. Well, this young lass emailed me at 11 pm on Tuesday to tell me that she had to cancel because her roommate's dog-fearing niece was coming over for the weekend. Thank goodness it was a trial run, she says!! Yes, I replied, but you failed the trial, you see. Sigh.
Since I have to bundle up and strap on Ms. E twice a day, thereby jeopardizing her naps and exhausting me, there is no going any where else during the day. Train rides downtown are out of the question. Which is why I'm here blogging instead of at the playdate I so presumptuously bragged about in an earlier post.
Will says he'll be home tomorrow night. Hopefully not to eat my brains.

I admire you so much for taking the dogs with you to Germany. I know what it's like to have a demanding dog and a baby, living on the second floor, no garden. My Tinni is now happily pacing the streets with his new family (two adult humans, one yorkie lass) and believes he had a narrow escape. Love the pics:)
ReplyDeleteThat is an exceptionally adorable pic of E - she's getting cuter every day.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I had a dream the other night that I was having a barbeque (which I actually did have yesterday) and I invited you and Will. But you said you couldn't come over because you didn't like my food. Maybe because.... YOU are a zombie, and I wasn't serving frontal lobe. Eh?
That is sad that I am rude in dreams. I will work on that. Go ahead and plan a BBQ for August and I promise I'll come.
