Im not a morning person, but since getting the puppy i have to be and i have to say im liking it.
This morning we got up and i took the boys out, brought in the paper to read while i drank my coffee. Once all the dogs were up i fed them breakfast and then put the black hair dye on my hair. The dogs relaxed about an hour while i let my hair set then we went on a really long walk through our neighborhood, up the hill and back down, through the weeds, over and over, letting them get their exercise. I need the exercise as well so i really enjoyed it...i let them walk run and romp until i could walk no more. At the point of my back and hips hurting so bad that i could cry i brought them back in.
Yeah, i may be in a ton of pain right now but i also feel good. See, Jasper, the pibble puppy woke me up around 3 am to go outside, which means my training with him is working in that area as well. Then once back inside he HAD to cuddle with me, it was the first time that he initiated cuddling with me while he slept. It just shows we are creating a bond. Hes only been here a week so its going well. In time i know he will make the perfect Service Dog for me.
Im sitting here with my hair still in a towel, sipping my protein shake as the boys all sleep. Its so quiet in here its insane. My books on Pitt Bulls arrived today, im really glad. While im not treating him any different than i would any other breed i do know they tend to have different needs and i need to educate myself on those.
I also need to get to work on my books. I had put it off til i got the new laptop and now i have it and really like it. I also need to finish some crochet projects as well as make Jasper a blanket, he doesnt have one of his own yet and he needs one. I ordered more yarn for it than i normally would because hes bigger than any other dog ive had in years, and hes only going to get bigger.
Right now life is going pretty well, things are falling into place and Im still hoping that in maybe 6 months to a year i can take off and do some traveling in an RV. I just have to do my research now as with Jasper being a Pitt i dont know what states allow Pitts. I think BSL is a piece of shit honestly. I mean I mean my daughter was bitten my a Dalmatian, and ive been told that breed cant be trusted either. But if Jasper is going to be anything like he is now when he grows up he will be the biggest baby ever. Hes soo sweet, and he is strong and may grow protective of me but as long as i can focus that in a positive way, such as just standing against my legs between me and others without making a sound than i have no issue with that. And i know if i train him right thats how he will be.
Reading the paper was a real treat for me this morning. I used to read it everyday but havent done that in a few years and really missed it. I like the feeling of the actual paper in my hands, all the different things to read even if they dont interest me, and learning about whats going on. I really have lost touch with the outside world and i want to catch up on it. Others around me are always bring up issues, occurrences or names and I will have no clue what they are talking about.
Well thats it for now. I have a few things to get done. I may post more later today.
