cosmolinguistWork today was bookended by dog care, it was pretty great.
First my doggy friend Beaumont was looking for someone to provide the attention and time outdoors that he usually gets from his dog walker. Since he lives on my way to work, it was easy for me to leave early to go see him. He greeted me with many barks -- having only seen me in the park, he might have been surprised that I know where he lives! -- and a real reluctance to go into the garden which I could sympathize with because it was raining pretty hard. I had to show him it was okay out there, and helpfully barked when I went back inside because I do not belong there! I can see his point! I'm so used to my own dog being so chill that I forgot other dogs will steal your wellies and chew on them if you leave them unsupervised for a minute, so he kindly reminded me of this important fact about dogs.
Then I went to work, and by the time I got home I only had time for a much-needed cup of tea before I had to take Gary to the vet. Nothing's wrong with him...well, nothing new!...he just needed his nails clipped and we don't want to do that at home any more. But we had quite a long wait in a room full of other nervous dogs, so it was hard on everyone.
I got back home and managed to make dinner and eat it, despite how tired I was. I'm very tired now.
