I've been home for a couple days now. I'm kind of sad that I'm bored even with Jim around. He is being a good pup and finally went #2 after two days of only #1s. I haven't worked him yet, but I really want to ignore GDF's request to wait a week. An entire week would kill me! He needs to get out and stretch his legs. I would hate to be cooped up for a week. My town is boring, but it's less boring if you have your mind set to getting a dog accustomed to places that are new and exciting for him.
I'm not too tired anymore. i have a nasty headache though. I feel so bad for not posting everyday, but it was so hard with my computer being stupid. I would have if the port problem didn't arise. Now I can't connect the damn thing to my desktop so i can't access the web with that. This really irks me because I have to sit here and use my sister's computer. Sometimes sharing can get a little ugly. I don't know what to do.
School starts in a couple weeks and I wish I could move in the week before classes start, but that's not a possibility because I'm not in marching band anymore. It would be nice to be there for a week and get Jim accustomed to campus but the university doesn't do favors like that. What a way to start the year, cramped in with everyone else. I don't like this at all. I'm not saying that I need special treatment, I just want to go early so I don't have to be overwhelmed by distractions. Is it wrong of me to want to settle in and want what's best for my dog?
Another worry I have staining my consiouousness is that I'm not allowed to break Jim in the parking lot. There is a specific place for me to let him relieve himself on the grass. I'm a little worried about this because from what I was told, dogs who go on grass will never go on cement. I go into the city a lot and cement is all that is available. Jim's good at holding it but then again, I will never know what happens in the future.
I have to buy dog food, a comfy bed, kong (if I can't find the one we have laying around somewhere), lunge line, dog food container that has a tight top, another bowl for food. I'm not going to go back and forth to wash the bowl out adn fill it with water each feeding and water time. I have to look for two vets and a groomer. There is so much to do. I'm a little overwhelmed but then again, I don't mind. Jim is such a good dog. I want to give him everything I can possibly offer and more.
