First off,
HELLO NEW FRIENDS.
I have been neglectful these past few days. Feel free to beat me with a stick.
Though you may find it within your hearts to spare me, because the reason I've been neglectful is...
I HAVE A PUPPY.
I HAVE A PUPPY.
Livejournal, meet Gideon. Gideon, meet Livejournal.
I picked him up yesterday from this amazing Mennonite breeder... dude. THEY WERE SO FRIENDLY IT WAS CRAZY. Gideon is the oldest, from a litter that had been born a few weeks before. He's the last from that litter. He's 10 weeks old, and surprisingly mellow. Fairly strong-willed (I've taken him out a few times, and he's always surprised when I reinforce that, yes, he's wearing a harness, and, yes, I'm holding the leash) but right now he's sleeping on a towel by my bedside.
He hasn't barked once.
He's been wagging his tail and exploring a few things around my room.
He hasn't made a mess in the house yet.
And he didn't even whine the first night he was over here.
I still need a kennel for him, but so far he's been extremely well-behaved, and he's been sectioned off to my room and the hallway. Don't want him going near my FOURTEEN DOG-KILLING STEPS.
I could go on and on, but I will spare everyone the details and get to the motherfucking pictures already.
