Isn't it supposed to rain on Wednesday?
Silly cat!
Neutron is apparently terrified of the vacuum. I ran it and left it, off, near their cage while I did chores; then I let them out and he refused to come out of the cage. Took me a couple minutes to figure out what was wrong. Silly dog.
Poor puppy! You've scarred him for life!
Kitty says I need to expect that if I'm going to leave drives in her cat bed.
Speaking of dogs, the flower bed I spent all Sunday afternoon on is now a series of holes.
I could cry.
Aw... man... I don't dare leave the dogs out of my sight for more than a few minutes. They've shown tendencies to chew up everything.
I figured he'd dig. I just didn't figure he'd dig the way he did. He didn't just play in the dirt - he targeted the bulbs.
I guess I can't have bulbs. I'm guessing he'd dig them up even after the flowers were there. And that stinks. I want them.
I also accomplished nothing at work today, so I'm kinda feeling guilty. Did write about 2500 words, though. If that's good. And introduced a new character, with whom I promptly fell in love. What else is new.
I also still don't have the birthday package my family sent a week ago. I think I'll go sulk.

And now I'm rethinking my NaNo story at the not-quite last minute... that I should write the story I really want to tell and not the prequel I'd planned....
(Doesn't that sound like this guy's greeting?)
"Na wonna wonga!"
Ha!
I like the concept...though it looks like that's last year's model.
Um...thanks. I think.
You don't even know when Cisco's birthday is, and you'll never see him sulk. :~)
Speaking of Cisco... was he bad today, or not?
And how'd your van drive? Did it feel like a sports car? I'm always amazed how great it feels to have new tires.
Very, very bad. You missed a few posts.
Cisco is mentally incapable of sulking, though. He's basically Odie.
Van handles a LOT better on corners. I noticed that, for sure.
As for the package...I just wish the postal system was more efficient, that's all.
Oh - never mind, I see it about the bulbs.
Did he eat them, or just uproot them? can you put them back in the ground? I've got an extra fence charger (Fido-shock brand, I always loved that), we could run a low wire around your beds. The good news is, if he learns to fear the wire, you can put wire around darn near anything you don't want him in.
I *think* he just dug them up. I saw loose bulbs, but didn't have the heart to count them. Granted, daffodil bulbs are cheap this time of year. Even if they're lost causes, I *could* probably buy another bag for half price right now.
Hm...wonder if the charger would do it. I don't know how I'd plug one in, though - I have no power on that side of the house.
I know it would work, he's not gonna dig if he can't be there without getting zapped :~) Do you have outside power anywhere? Extension cord would work. Or we can rig it off one of those light fixtures even, I've got a dealy that can convert a light socket into a plug. Collect your bulbs or buy some more and if you want, we can do it this weekend.
I *might* have outside power in the back. Can't remember. I can do a walk-around and figure it out.
Ungh...I feel like it's bedtime right now and I still have an hour before I have to head back to work. I just don't do evenings very well.
Having to go in at night is awful... I feel for ya. :~\
