Oh, puppy.
I think my dog not only has an anxiety disorder, but also ADD. This was our morning walk:
Chloe: Bird! Look, bird! Flying bird! Maybe I can REACH it! ::bounce, bounce::
Me: Come on, crazy. This way.
Chloe: Oo, this way has a SQUIRREL! TWO squirrels! Chasing each other! I can chase the squirrels too! Right? RIGHT? Squirrel!
Me: We're not chasing squirrels. Here, come on...
Chloe: What's that? A car! I think it's a car. Do you see the car? There's a car coming from over there. Car! And now it's going that way! Can we follow the car?
Me: No, we're focusing on the business at hand. Let's go.
Chloe: Oh, LOOK! Someone running! I know I'm usually afraid of people, but this one's RUNNING! We can chase her! Like the squirrels! Or... MAYBE I'LL JUST RUN AROUND YOU IN CIRCLES! This is FUN!
Me: Oh, boy...
Gotta love her. (I need a new icon with happy!Chloe. This one is from one of the first days we'd met her, and she was still basically all-the-time terrified.)
In other news, still no news on the job. I don't go in to work until 10:30 today, but apparently there is an update email to all the applicants that the process is taking longer than anticipated and we should have word by the end of next week. The suspense! It kills!
