I value my sleep when I’m fortunate enough to get any. Night owl by nature, I’m lucky to fall asleep by 2am most of the time. I know I’m getting old because I need more sleep now, and not getting it is catching up to me. I got home from work around 10:20pm, fast-forwarded through most of Idol to the end, and went to bed around 12. Around 2am, we were woken up by the most God awful, gutteral growl I’ve ever heard. Leo had Jasmine cornered by the bed and she couldn’t get away. He’s never tried to hurt her but he likes to play and I don’t think he realizes that his size scares her. So I got up and led him out of the room, gave him his bone and watched some tv. And then suddenly I was wide awake, yay! So I think I slept from about 4 to 5 on the couch, and here I am awake again. I finally get a day off work, and I have SO much to do around the house but of course, I’m beyond tired. Thank God for coffee.

Today is Leo’s first vet appointment. The shelter didn’t tell me that he still needed his rabies vac when we adopted him, but I was looking through his adoption packet and his chart said he hadn’t received it yet so I had to call them to make sure. I’m a little nervous, because I’m not sure how the waiting room will go. Maybe there’ll be a Bull Mastiff that intimidates Leo LOL. I also found a dog park about 10 minutes from us that we’re going to check out this weekend. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. No more rain damn it!

Since I’m up I might as well start the housework, laundry and other crap that needs to be done around here. I leave with one last thing to say: Yay for David Cook!!
