On his way to being a ROCKSTAR!

Andy Dick gives SONGBIRD the thumbs up at the Roxy!

Bad day gone by

Monk is sitting in the chair looking out the window ready to bark at whatever is or isn't there. Sharona is helping him, front legs on the side table and back legs on the chair. Dash is running up and down the stairs chewing on a dead sweaky toy trying to get someone to chase him. Sammy is sitting at the front door trying to drill a hole thru me with her eyes, ears perky on top of her head. Does she need to go potty?... probably not.

two days ago they all got out on to the street and it was scary.

Monk has a tie down outside as he can jump the fence in a few places... I thought it was short enough that if he did try to jump he would get pulled back... well guess what I was wrong. He jumped the gate and was hanging from the otherside of the fence... I opened the gate to get him down but as I did that all the little dogs ran out to see the dog that monk was trying to jump the fence to get at. the girl with the dog was freaked out as 4 dogs rushed her. I was freaking out. That morning I had a dream that they all had gotten outside and now it was happening. I was able to get Monk and Sammy in as they they are much easier to grab then Sharona and Dash.. In the process I fell down on the sidewalk and skinned my knee up. Sharona started to bark at the neighbors cat and Dash ran down the street.... DASH my little bubby... I did not run after him.. I can't run as fast as a little dog. so I tried to get Sharona as she was not going to leave that cat alone after about 5 minutes of trying to catch her I finally got my hands on her.. she's a quick little bugger... and as I looked up Dash came running into the neighbors yard to see what Sharona was up to.. I scooped him up and went back into the house... Who knows how far he ran down the block. As I walked into the house my cell phone was ringing.. It was matt.... It took me pretty much all day to calm down and about 2 hours to catch my breath.... I'm happy to say no one was hurt other then me and i've made the tie down shorter so it won't happen again...

I have a bunch of stuff I should do today.. but I think i'm going to try to make some bread. I'll let you know how it goes as I've never made homemade bread before.

Things I should be doing: Cleaning up the house, buying paint to paint the inside of the house, painting the inside of the house, calling around to get quotes for wood flooring to replace the carpet upstairs that the dogs are distroying. trying to find more freelance work. walking the dogs... ( don't really want to bring them outside the fence ever again after the other day). and i'm sure a bunch of other stuff that is sitting at the back of my head making me feel guilty about making bread that is just going to make me fat if I eat it all. BUT. i want the house to smell like fresh bread so fuck the list, i'm going to make bread.

Monk is Soooooooo bored...

"Momma, can we PLEASE go on a walk?"

"Okay Monk, lets go... "

I'm feeling better now... not all better, but better.

UPDATE: I Drank a beer after work... I must be feeling better. I can't tell you how much I missed my after work drink..... lets hope I don't get sick again any time soon.

Didn't go to work again

Well this cold sucks. I didn't go to work again today. it was another truck day and I know it would have made me feel worse then I do at the moment.. which isn't good.... I've taken a shower and had some lunch and am ready for bed again.....

Yesterday went well drove just under 400 miles and got Duke to his new family. I think he's really going to like them. He slept the whole ride in my lap and would look up and give me kisses.. the drive back was lonely... no little dog to give me kisses and about 40 miles out of portland my cold decided to make my head explode. I got home, gave the dogs dinner and then went back to bed. I was up for 7 hours yesterday..... The only thing that keeps me going is that every time I lay down in bed I know "the rock" is waiting for me. Yes.. "THE ROCK" matt gave me his autobiography to read and its GREAT... i love the rock. I'll see any movie that guy is in.. and his life is really interesting to read about.... and he's "the ROCK"....

anyway. I think it's time to go read again and blow my nose...

Another Day Another Dog

So I have a cold... it sucks. I didn't go to work on friday and help unload the truck as I didn't want to make my cold worse. I did work last night and it was probably a little to much. However the good part of the night was when my favorite Elfa costumers came in.... Larry, Carol, and their daughter Brit... this family ROCKS!!!! they always make me happy to talk to. Larry kind of reminds me of my dad, but he has a much closer relationship with Brit as she's the only child... she's a senior in highschool and a really nice person. Anyway it was nice to see them... :)

so today i'm driving a dog out east to meet it's new family... it's a 1.5 year red minpin that is at the oregon humane society... he's a good boy i meet him last week. and I know he's going to like his new family. I'll update my post after the trip. the only part that sucks is the gas prices I guess. I've not really looked to see what it's up to here in portland but I guess i'll find out.

Oh and i have a cold and am going to be in the car for like 4 hours today... but it's all for the good of the little dogs...
