Apparently, when you are an unemployed writer with a dog, people think you have nothing to do but watch their dog too. So I am once again dog sitting. It's fine, really, I enjoy dogs and this one is a young terrier (she looks schnauzer-ish)who is a really sweet dog. But my dog is getting a little tired of being pimped out as a 'friend' to every dog in the world. Java is thirteen and kind of grumpy (okay, she's downright bitchy) and she doesn't want to play with some upstart young pup. So I probably won't get much work done today but I'm giving it my best effort.
Speaking of dogs, did you see "Greatest American Dog" last night? Some of those people love their dogs just a bit more than is necessary. I love my dog and think she's wonderful but I have never bought her shoes and I never will. (Although she has chewed enough of my shoes that I probably should have bought her some!) Look, these dogs are cute and they can do some fun tricks but ultimately, they are just dogs who want to play and have fun, not prance around in Prada's. But I loved the part where the little Boston stole the bulldog's skateboard. So something my dog would do. Ultimately this show is watchable for the dogs, but I hate most of the owners.
Okay, I'm going to try to get some work done while the dogs are quiet. Call me if you need doggy day care!
