Random Thoughts Part I

It is awesome and yet ultra exhausting to be this busy! Not only do I have a million different experiments to do because my boss will be back from a surgery on Monday but Coffee also sticks to his name. He is dark and has tons of energy stored in that tiny innocent looking body. Carlos is starting to call him Tasmanian devil.
Sigh.... The little black ball of energy has already had such a positive affect on both of us. We both want to train him as best as possible and at the same time I feel younger inside. I noticed I laugh at more silly things these days...
I had been having such anxiety attacks about the responsibilities of being a master to a dog about walking him, training him etcetera, but now the rewards are soooo superior to all of that. There is a reason for me to go home as early as possible from work besides TV...

Coffe, in my Life, FINALLY!!!!

So I've been wanting a dog for over 10 years!!! But it was always, oh the apartment is not right, oh I dont' have the money, oh the landowner doesn't accept pets, oh I got into Grad School and right now i can't take of myself, oh I am taking the Qual. And the reasons went on and on. In the mean time every time I saw a dog in the street, my heart would break.

Finally when I passed the Qual, Carlos said you've earned a dog, it is the right time and the right place. SOoooo... We got one. And he is the cutest baby I've ever seen. He has this gentle look about his eyes, but it is obvious he is going to have attitude... He was born on the same day I took my Qual, December 12th, 2008.... And his name is Coffee. All I can think of all day and night, is him. It is literally like having a baby. I wake up in the middle of the night to play with him and put him back to sleep cause he wakes up whimpering. All this while Carlos tells me that I am spoiling him. I've already seen SOOOO many little things about this situation that reflect the kinds of parents we will be. Over protective is definitly one of those adjectives that will describe us...
