time's an arrow / that does not miss its mark
There is too much, I will sum up:
Since last we spoke in beginning of August we have gone camping up at Mt. St. Helens (surprisingly successful!); I started and then stalled on a Firefly vid; we had Puplet's fifth birthday party; had family visit; celebrated three birthdays in four days; had Puplet start (and love, and then HATE) kindergarten; had Puptoo start daycare (hate, all the time); continued to work full-time; continued to have a baby who hates sleeping; have already had Puptoo get sick three times from daycare; flew on a whirlwind trip to Denver with brynnmck to see Seth Meyers perform; and got a dog!
This is Cosmo! He's a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Greyhound mix. We found him via Petfinder (a place that is both wonderful and terrible all at once). He was rescued from an extremely high-kill shelter in San Antonio and was fostered at a vet's office so he was familiar with dogs and people in a way we were specifically searching for. Though he was extremely timid when he first arrived, he's warmed up AMAZINGLY in the 9 days he's been with us. We even took him to apple farm on our yearly visit this weekend and he was fine with random strangers petting him. It's a totally different experience then when we had Sophie (a truly dog-aggressive and people-shy dog) and Sydney (friendly but a spaz and lost without Sophie at his side). Cosmo is terrified of the cats in hilarious ways (and the cats are more than happy to lord their new power over him, they're such jerks honestly). Tavaris actually pounced on him yesterday, though I think he was trying to play, but Cosmo had no idea what was going on. I'm hoping he and Tavaris can work out a relationship at least. Cosmo totally ignored Puptoo and thinks Puplet is another dog for him to play with (something we're working on right now) and is high energy when we need him to be but happy to lay at my feet while I work as long as he gets his walk.
He's great. :)
Lounging inside
The cats lining up to meet him the first day.
A much happier boy one week in.
And now you are all caught up!
I, however, continue to be behind. I haven't even STARTED Puplet OR Puptoo's 5-yr and 1-yr posts, respectively. I have a ton of pictures I want to re-size and post to my photo tumblr. I want to get back to my Firefly vid. I want to finish my Seth/Amy punk rock AU. Plus work, school, and family obligations. So fall TV season has started and as I said on Twitter, I am already behind and have given up. I think I'm going to skip Festivids this year and instead spend that time finishing a vid for me, but we'll see. I always get caught up in the frenzy of it. Hee. If you want to keep up with me on a regular basis, I'm basically all Twitter, all the time right now (@sdwolfpup) because it's easiest to do on my phone. I abandoned tumblr for like a month straight but I'm occasionally dipping in there again (ajoblotofjunk). And I'm reading here but having trouble commenting because the LJ app for my phone is terrible. But I like seeing y'all here! Please keep posting and I will try to comment more, I promise!
Here's a random fact about me: I really really love the Year With Frog and Toad soundtrack. I'll listen to it without Puplet around.
