It's Monday afternoon, and I'm sitting on the couch, with Duke at my feet (which I hate), Muttin in the dog bed on the couch, and Jeffrey is ... also at my feet. Since when did he start that? He's curled in a little ball with his butt on Duke's back. The kittens are being postcard worthy, being cute no matter where they are.
I just did a search for an airline ticket for SanFranMan - he found one for 600.00 something, and I found one for 164.00. I am good.
Goodness, as I just typed that sentence, he called and said he booked the flight. He'll be here July 5th - 10th. Must think of fun things to do. In Idaho. In Idaho Falls. Hopeless. Maybe I can impress him with my cooking skills. Again, hopeless. He calls our time together "Huggy Time". Which makes me laugh out loud every time I think of it.
SonOne says he's coming for the 4th of July. So it might be a busy week for me.
Duke is making me crazy. Have I mentioned that? He whines and whines when we're inside, wanting to play tennis ball ... INSIDE. With a runway of about 10 feet. I, of course, being of sound mind and body, prefer not to have a 60 pound dog running in my apartment, because it riles up the 2 little 20 pound dogs, and 2 adorable kittens, who have absolutely no fear of said dogs, and whom try to chase the ball also, getting trampled in the process. Muttin/Jeff are in my face, or Jeff is getting all macho with Duke and the kittens, Muttin is in my face, jealous of any attention not paid to her, Duke is dancing around with the damn ball in his mouth, afraid to "drop it" because the kittens might get it. I could have a riot on my hands.
Then we take it outside, where he refuses to chase the tennis ball, OR I throw the ball 72 million times and he brings it back 72 million times.
Lather, rinse, repeat. That is my day in a nutshell.
This is what he'd rather be doing.
And speaking of "lather, rinse, repeat", this is what happens when we do go swimming -

Good gravy! "Sound mind and body?" I'm with mdmhvonpa! Poor Duke. So abused :)
