The Damned Dog!!
It is currently 7:25 in the morning, and I am awake. While for most people this is not abnormal, it is for me. I am a night person, I go to school at night and I work at night. I went to sleep at 4:00, and just to confirm: that was three and a half hours ago!!! Me and my housemates have a female dog named Possum. (Which is a vile name that I did not pick)
One day, about a month after we got the dog, when she was still very very small, she went out and got covered with snow. When she came in her hair was all slicked down and her ears were laid back, and one of my housemates, in her infinite wisdom, said she looked like a possum. So from then on that's what her damned name was. I hate it, and i've tried to change it, but no one agrees with me and I lose every time.The Great "Getting Fixed Debacle: Anyways, Possum is a little over six months old, what we did not know is that a six month old female dog can go into heat. When we noticed this it caused great alarm because we did not need little Possums running all over the house. So we had her fixed. Good plan right? NO! Because now our outside, loving, running, large dog has to stay inside for the next 10 days! 10 DAYS! We are currently on day four and I may lose my mind. While she attempts to eat anything and everything, she also expresses her displeasure at being enclosed by randomly jumping onto the glass door and whining to her loudest ability, really not the best way to get some sleep. We take her out on a leash on a regular basis, however she refuses to 'do her business' on a leash, no she much prefers to do it within five minutes of being brought back into the house, preferably in mine, or my friend's, white carpeted floor. I know that all of her actions express her extreme displeasure at being locked inside, but there is nothing we can do and no way to make her stop. And on that note I must close this, Possum is currently attempting to tear down the curtains and eat them.
Slowly losing my mind,
James
