Adventures in CRAZY... and the TARDIS

Life is a twisty bumpy turney twisty road, and I LOVE IT!  Everything is coming at me these days 900 miles an hour... between work, spring mysteries, dog training (boyfriend training... haha) and my birthday month (yes, I have a birthday month... not a birthDAY, but a whole month where I deserve praise and love and presents every day!) I should be exhausted, and I am, but life is good.  Spent a very lovely evening going over lines with a lovely friend, many laughs as well as a mutual understanding were had... it was nice.  Nothing like pizza, beer and crazy goddess talk!
The dogs are doing well today.  Dr. Dog seems to be feeling a bit more secure these days... lots of doggie massage and pressure points... trying to help him feel comfortable.  We will be going back to day care on monday, and I really want him to start to feel better around the other dogs.  Baby steps, thats the only way this will work.  I am commited to this, and hopefully in the long run, all the hard work will pay off for all of us!

Today on the bus, I had the greatest experience... I must first explain that I am a HUGE Doctor Who fan... like seriously, I LOVE THAT SHOW!  And, for those of you who understand, you will think the fallowing is quite funny, for those who don't... well, you should watch the show.... So, as it goes, I was on the bus after a very LONG ten hour day at work.  I was a bit grumpy, and very very sleepy.  I had just turned my ringer back on my phone, as I do after the work day is done.  Well, my phone rang (as it does a million times a day!), and my ring tone is the Doctor Who theme song.  (and I will have you know, my phone is set to HOLY COW LOUD!!!)  Suddenly my bus drivers voice is on the loud speaker "Bow ties are cool" he says to the whole bus... nothing could have made my day any better... unless of course he would have said "Don't even blink, you blink you die"... cause I"m a David Tennant kind of gal.

A wise man once said to me "You never forget your first Doctor".

Where did the time go?

Not enough time in a day, that is for sure.  With Spring Mysteries Festival ( www.aquatabch.org ) quickly approaching, I am finding myself without enough time to finish what needs to be done.  Also, I find myself thinking quite a lot about life the universe and everything (and no, the answer is not 42, wouldn't it be nice if it were that simple?).  Where good to think about, this is not always a productive way to spend ones time.  I HAVE THINGS TO DO!  That being said, I am really looking forward to next weekends festival.  I have been working on my lines, as well as putting together the last of my costuming... I hope that it all goes over well.

In other news, today was a good day.  Although I did not get done nearly as much as I would have liked, I did get to spend time with a good friend... doing hair, picking nail polish and eating sushi!  Time ran out too quickly... (sadly before we were able to give each other pedicures and meet up with another friend) but we both have lovely hair now, and our lines are closer to being perfect! 

Doggie Days...

Dr. Dog
So, I have wanted to have a blog for a long time.  I keep putting it off, thinking maybe no one would read it, or maybe people would, and that is why I was putting it off... who knows.  Ether way, here we go... I'm blogging!
You will probably find that much of my rambling will be about my dogs... they are super important to me, and such a huge part of my life.  I truly can not imagine life without a dog (or two or three).
Dr. Dog Being Regal
So, we have these two dogs (well, three if you count my sister's pooch... but technically he's not mine.).  Dr. Dog and Professor Pip, both are really sweet, cute kids, but Dr. Dog is a bit insecure, especially when it comes to other dogs.   So, I get the bright idea that I'm going to give Dr. Dog private training lessons (I know, I should be able to do this myself... as I have been a dog trainer, but for some reason, I can't train Dr. Dog).  So, monday I bring the dogs to work, Pip gets to play all day, and the Doctor is in solitary confinement (which just means in a kennel with solitary play time instead of group play time) until I"m done grooming... then he gets his lesson.  Poor kid, I stressed him out so badly... he just is having a hard time being around the other dogs.  I'm really hoping that this is going to work, I would love to take him for a walk and not worry about him freaking out if another dog passes by us, or take him swimming... he loves to swim, but the other dogs scare him!  Any suggestions?  I'm always open to ideas from other animal lovers... he is such a great dog, but his stress level is so high, I feel bad for him.  I will certainly keep posting on his progress...
