was going to try a few miles this morning. dogs woke me up early so that would have been good.
icy, black ice. no running
and poo in the living room, harry potter slippers had the toes eaten out of them, and one dog walked over to me and barfed at my feet. so my extra time was taken up with dealing with dog issues. still might be able to get some in tonight. if the weather warms up. can't run at the track. closed for speed skating trails
Dog, husband, baby, and me sleeping in bed and dog barfed all over the bed and part of floor last week. Shampooed carpet and washed bed sheets and cleaned all wood on bed. Frustrating and time consuming, but we pushed her off into my daughter's bed every night now where she's equally as happy (dog is needy and must be pressed up against a human to sleep or she'll cry) for leg room. She's like a big, old baby to take care of. She's been with us since she was a puppy, almost 8 years old now. But she will probably be my last dog.
Oh! That is awful! How old is your baby? Mine is 8 months.1 -

Awwwwwwww, congratulations!!! Good for you for running!!! I say "baby" but he'll be two in April so he's well out of baby status and into toddler status but I'll probably refer to him as the baby until he's fifty or I'm dead. Hahahaha... I have a seventeen year old daughter, a thirteen year old daughter, remarried and had a baby boy at 41 1/2. Crazy good stuff...
Adding: One reason I run is to stay "younger" so I am never ever to be confused with his grandmother.

I'm sorry... that had to be hard. As frustrating as she can be, I'm glad we've got her. I think you're a special person to do what you do. I'm a no kill, rescue a shelter pet/spay & neuter believer and very vocal about it. But you go the extra steps with an open heart to make sure they are cared for and loved.3 -
