Puppy Love

cornerofmadnessA couple days ago my friend and coworker, TH, heard a sound outside his house and found some asshole dropped off a puppy 6-8 weeks old and it was trying to find food in his trash. He took her inside. Now TH doesn't think he can keep her (He's not home enough). He brought her in and while he was in class another friend, AN was watching her and since L asked me to go to the winery with her tonight and I've been blowing her off, I was hanging around so I helped An with the puppy so she could eat lunch. They were telling me 'oh she's part beagle or Chihuahua.' I took one look and said, 'rat or fox terrier' Really? go google. They agree.
Sweetie (her name for now) is a love. She is SUPER friendly, very intelligent (she even pooped on the papers when we put her near them.) AN and I played for an HOUR and she still wasn't tired (we were). She climbed AN's legs to get into her lap many times then jumped right out of them too. Only a terror is that fearless. She got in my lap the moment I sat down (and up my skirt and down my cleavage), cleaned my face of make up, went over my shoulders like a cat. She licked my arms and flea nibbled me clean. She has a ticklish spot on her back when BOTH back legs start thumping. She was playing with keys and she makes barely a sound. I'm also not home enough and I do not have a yard that I could cordon off for a dog. I'll be honest, as adorable as Sweetie is, I'm very ill suited to terriers. They're too hyper for me. She will get a good home. The whole Math/Science dept is working on it along with the computer dept.
Then L and I went to the winery and I was greeted at the door by Nikki who was fascinated by the other dog smell and was NOT to be outdone. She was also under the skirt, half on my lap and licking me but with less enthusiasm, just a little to say hi. When L and I were out on the porch I heard Nikki scratching and brought her outside with us. She stayed a while then went to greet newcomers. L and I talked for a while (and for once I agree that she has a right to whine about the theatre since she's got a snarky director) and I'm DYING. L likes the outdoors and heat. I'm turning into a puddle. Seriously. By the end, sweat is pouring down my legs, my hair is wet, sweated thru my undies/skirt/seat cushion before L says 'I'm hot. You must be dying.'
Yeah, no shit. (It's about 93 today and humid but not as humid as yesterday. We go in to take in the glassware. Nikki is with another couple. I tell her goodbye so she races over to see me. I turn to go and she steps on my long skirt. You're going nowhere until I say you're going home. She flops down and insists on a belly rub. Her owner sees my black glass sandals and we're discussing them. I turn to go again and Nikki wraps both paws around my ankle and plops her head on my foot.
All things considered, I'd prefer owning Nikki. Kanda, on the other hand was NOT impressed I smelled like dog but he was even less impressed with my audacity. How dare I go out without clearing it with him first.

And the one sour note for the day, my 'good' shoulder was so painful I couldn't raise my arm. I'm getting to where I was with the other arm. It's hard to get my shirts on and off. I put the inferential electrodes on it tonight. let's see if that helps.

no subject
Date: 2013-08-31 08:39 pm (UTC)thanks. It's actually not as bad as it could be (nothing like the other side by the end) but I sure as hell did something to irritate it. I'm going to dig out my NSAIDs to help calm it down
