Ok, so I'm going to try this again... Last night I wrote a whole blog and it didn't go through, so I lost the entire thing...It better not happen again!
Anyway, we have a new member of our household... A 10 week old male puppy named Jay Lee. It was somewhat of an impulse buy, but Matt and I were visiting my parents house and Erica, my mom, and us decided to go to the pet store the one day. Well, we went to get a fish for Erica's salt water tank, but when we got there, they had these adorable little puppies called boggles - half beagle and half boxer. Well, ever since Matt and I moved into the apartment, we've talked about getting a dog, but we just couldn't afford it. Not only did you have to pay for the dog and all it's needs, but there is also a 250 dollar non-refundable deposit at the apartment complex and an extra 50 bucks a month. But yippee for Erica! She decided to go half on everything so that we could keep him at the apartment and everything. So, now we have a puppy! Like I said, his name is Jay Lee, but Lee is just his middle name, and it's in remembrance of Matt's mom because that was her middle name. He is just absolutely adorable with a brown and black coat with white patches. He's only 5 pounds now, but he'll get to be about 20 or 25.
I'm surprised that he's already doing as well as he is with the whole house training thing. He knows that outside means potty and even goes to the door a lot of times when he has to go. The only time he has an accident is when he gets over excited or when it's cold or rainy outside. I'm sure the cold and rainy thing will just be with time, though. He'll obviously need to get over that. he's also getting better about staying in his cage when we leave. He hated it at first and even tried to bite his way out of it, but he seems to have gotten over that and is now just calm about it. He still whines for the first few minutes, but he's usually fine after that. We can't get him to sleep by himself, though, so he sleeps with me in bed. Yeah, I know - I'm spoiling him, but I just hate to hear him cry at night, and if he's going to be more comfortable sleeping with me, then I'll just let him.
So, other than Jay, I haven't really been doing much for the past week. My internship got done last Monday and I stopped working at Walmart a few weeks ago, so now I'm just getting ready for school to start. I can't believe there is only a week left. The summer flew by so fast. I can't believe I only have one year left in college. It's so scary to think about. Erica moves into her dorm on Friday, which is also scary to think about. I'm worried about how my mom is going to be when we are both out of the house for the school year. It's going to be weird for her. I hope that I can go home on weekends to visit a lot. I hope everything goes ok this year with being full time producer. Thankfully I don't have a whole lot of classes because then I can concentrate most of my time on TV and whatnot.
Well, Erica is here but is probably going to be leaving soon, so I think I'm going to hang out with her for a while. She's been here for the past four nights, so now it's going to be weird her not being here. Jay is going to miss her because now it's just going to be me and Matt to hang out with. Poor little guy...It's good she'll be back on Friday, though!
