Workout:
30 Minute Walk with
Dogs-1.67 miles
4.65 mile run – 42:38
Brrrrr! What a chilly,
windy run. Despite the cold, it was a
great run overall. My speed has gotten
so much better lately, I felt like I was flying. My shins and calves felt tight for the first
2 miles, but they eventually got with the program and loosened up.
This week has been off
to a really great start, and I am proud of myself for following my weekly goals
so far. I have taken the beast dogs for
a walk both yesterday and today. In
fact, they went on two walks today. I
thought it was supposed to rain today so I took them for one in the morning
before it started, in case we didn’t get a chance to after work. It still hasn’t rained yet, so I also took
them for another one after my run to cool down.
I also got my butt to
the gym and did strength training last night just as I had scheduled. I maybe did
not do as much as I wanted to/should have since I only did arms, but I had to
get back home to study for a Spanish test that I had today. At least I got to the gym and did something
though.
Another victory today
was receiving a bag of candy from a textbook rep, and not having a single piece
of it. Get I get a HELLLLL YEAH?! It was filled with Rolos, Starbursts, mini
Twix, suckers, Jolly Ranchers, KitKats, basically everything Heaven is made of,
but I resisted. I put the bag in a desk
drawer so I wouldn’t stare at it and be tempted. I’ll save it to share with my student
workers, or for another day when I feel I have better control over my sweets
addiction.
One final
thought. I am thinking of sporadically writing
a series of posts called, “How to Tell if You Have a/some Awful, Terrible,
Horrible, No-Good, Really Bad, Naughty Dog(s).”
You may ask, where did this idea come from? Well, my dogs are usually very well behaved,
but every now and then, they do stuff that is just so naughty that I cannot
believe they actually did it.
Exhibit A: When I got
home from my run tonight, one of them…ahem, Skittles…had pooped on the
floor. How did I know it was
Skittles? As soon as I walked in the door,
she jumped up on the couch and gave me the “Awwww shit, I’m in so much trouble
look.” For some reason, anytime Skittles
does anything bad, she always sits on the couch and gives us that look. You think she would be smarter, and act like
she has no idea what’s going on instead of giving herself away
immediately.
Dogs have accidents
some times. You ask, why is this SO
naughty? Well, not 3 minutes before I left
on my run, that little naughty baby had already done her business, in a BIG
way, out in the yard. She’s a little 15
pound Boston Terrier puppy for pete’s sake, where is she storing all that
poop!?!?
Exhibit B: Molly dog is an older gal, and she is a bit lumpy
and bumpy. She has a few fatty lumps on her legs that the vet is not at all
concerned about. One lump in particular
is about the size of a pea. She has had
it for years, but apparently today was the day she decided she had had enough
of it. Molly took it upon herself to try
to chew it off, or some sick shit like that.
This also occurred while I was running because it was still there before
I left because. When I was petting her
before leaving, I had touched it. When I
got back, I noticed she wouldn’t stop licking her leg. Like, she couldn’t even look at me; she was
so engrossed in licking it. When I
checked to see what the dealio was, I discovered a bloody leg and a deflated
lump with some nasty shit coming out of it.
I don’t know for sure if she bit it open herself, but I have no idea how
else it could have popped. I cleaned it
out really well, and now I just have to keep an eye on it. It is starts to look yucky, we’ll have to
make a visit to the vet.
So, those right there,
are two prime examples of How to Tell if You Have a/some Awful, Terrible,
Horrible, No-Good, Really Bad, Naughty Dog(s).
For serious though, I love my naughty baby dogs, and I wouldn’t trade
them for the world!!!! I will love and
cherish them, and their naughty habits, forever!
