because dogs are like that

last night when i got home (TWO HOURS late, thanks crazy snow storm) the dogs were freaking out as usual. apparently before i get there they play with each other but by the time i show up nico is back to totally hating her guts. skip to ten minutes later in the kitchen-

bang runs up and is trying to lick nico's chin, which he hates, so he growls and tries to get her to go away. she doesn't listen because she the stupidest dog ever. ever. so he bites her. totally within his bounds to do so- SHE IS SO ANNOYING. he did a good job and didn't go for the face-parts. jon starts looking bang over to make sure she's aok (which she was) and i'm petting nico for not eating her face off.

"ummmmm... what's that??" and jon looks over, and bang got so scared... that she pooped a tiny poop on the floor. he literally scared the poop out of her. awesome. her butt end had a sink bath and then all was well, except ten minutes later when she tried to lick his chin again. because learning is just not her thing.

then this morning i had to chase nico around the yard in the snow with a broom because a stray cat keeps coming in our yard a pooping, and nico for some reason thinks those are tasty crackers left by the easter bunny.

ugh.... dogs.

dream of the day

last night i dreamed that bears were taking over the world.

jon, nico, and i were out in my parents back yard that looks over the woods and jon says, "hey look! a really big bear!" so we watch the bear in the woods from afar. but then nico starts barking and the bear (brown, not black. always fight a black bear) comes running towards us. i run up onto the deck and jon runs behind me but nico doesn't run so jon stays to help him, and then nico fights the bear in the snow all badass, but we all get into the house safely and nico isn't hurt because of his magic fur.

so then we figure we should warn other people about the crazy bears, so we go to the front door and there are people out there that don't know about the bears so i'm whispering across the yard to them but the bears have super hearing and hear me and then they try and break into the house. we get the front door locked but now they are tearing down the house from the outside so we have to run and get in the car which is parked in the cul-de-sac. i run to the car with jon and nico fights another bear and we all drive back to the city and when we get to over-the-rhine we drive to the big parking garage by the art academy and everyone is hiding there from the bear invasion and they let us in and they shoot all the bears chasing us because it's a crazy bear apocolypse all doomsday style. then we go up on the roof and you can see all across the city all the other people hiding on their roofs from the bears. because apparently super-smart bears with super-hearing can't find you if you're on top of a building.

and then i woke up.

like fuzzy bunny bitey cheeks

cutest. photo. ever.

hello there mr tiny dog! look at your eye patch!

and this, my friends.

i know i haven't had a lot of time to write anything substantial lately but things have just been crazy here at work. and at home, well i'm too busy sleeping and playing fable II. but don't give up on me, and i won't give up on you. the time will come again when we can be together instead of working on other people's powerpoint presentations and making useless decorative stickers. cheers!
