something seemingly random happened this weekend. we decided to get a dog. i've actually been wanting, looking, researching and convincing for months now. then i found this guy. his name for now is colby. i like the name but we may find something else that suits him. he's the sweetest guy. i went to meet him yesterday and took some videos. i took this video within five minutes of meeting him. i was there for about two hours. took him outside twice. he loved the snow. i didn't get a video of that. i took this video at the end of our meeting. he's four months old now. he's listed as a chow chow mix. but i really don't think he has much if any chow in him. as you can see his tongue is pure pink. he really looks like a shiba inu except his ears bend at the top and his tail is straight. he's adorable whatever hs is. gareth's excited about getting him too. one of our main concerns is the fact that we live in an apartment. but i've started puppy proofing the room he'll start out in and we plan to crate train him and give him a lot of excercise. the other concern is the cat but we're going to separate them at first. they showed me how good he is with the shelter cat though and we had a dog over the other day to see how kitt was. she didn't necessarily like the dog but she didn't freak out either. and most importantly she hasn't peed at all. i brought a towel to the shelter and rubbed the dog down with it and put it in her bed too so she starts getting used to the dog's smell. i think if we take things slow and are careful that we can make this work well for everyone involved. we're just waiting for the shelter to call the vets to see if kitt's up to date on her shots. which she is. and call the landlord to see if we have his approval. which we do. then they'll let us know when he can get in to be neutered and when we can pick him up. i'm so excited. other exciting things have happened this week i should write about. on valentine's day i walked into the living room to find a giant box of ghirardelli chocolates. my favorite. i finally went to the doctors this week to get put on some cholesterol meds. not too exciting but a good thing to do. gareth's woflman review just got posted. i hope they get on the ball with things and put up his review of shutter island this week. the informant doesn't come out until next week so i should be able to see it now. it's going to be a long week waiting to get the new puppy home. but we get to go shopping for him so that'll keep me busy.
