It was fun while it lasted...

Tomorrow is my last day of summer...bummer! It has been a wonderful summer and I can't quite admit to being ready to head back to school. Usually by this time I'm a little bit excited about it, but this year, not so much. Oh well, it's coming whether I like it or not.

Adding a puppy to my life definitely made the last few weeks very interesting. It's amazing what you learn about yourself when someone, or in my case, something, is dependent on you. For example, who knew you could survive on so little sleep? Baylor's definitely had some great nights but just to be safe I'm still getting up every 4 hours to let her outside. She's also kept me a little closer to home the last couple weeks and somehow that has led to more laundry and more dirty dishes. I haven't figured this out though because she doesn't wear clothes or use my dishes! She's learning to appreciate her "free" time inside the house and can usually be found at my feet. She's mastered "sit" and amazed our puppy class teacher tonight because she already knew the command. I'm also pretty sure she gained about 4 pounds last week! I think she's going to be a big dog!

I spent Monday night away from home which added up to about 24 hours away from Baylor. I was really surprised at how excited I was to see her when I got home. She seemed pretty happy too! :) I think I'm quite attached to the little fur ball, who just so happens to be sporting a green and gold collar for the first time tonight!

Emily!

I love your blog!

Baylor is ADORABLE! We just got two dogs about three weeks ago - a beagle mix puppy, and a year-old basset hound. I can totally relate to your world right now!

Glad to see you online after all of these years.

Take care,

Jen
