Yesterday was pretty good. I got a handful of hours in working, plus managed to avoid any mishaps with Don. And then in the evening, my old roommate Bob, from 717 stopped by for a few beers. Bob’s doing pretty well, and Don did pretty well with company, though he did whine from his kennel for the first half-hour. Eventually he calmed down and got to come out and visit a bit.
This morning, I was busy trying to get caffeine in my while Don was eating breakfast. He decided he was done and pooped on the floor before I could get him outside. I guess they mean it when they say that if you can’t watch him constantly, he should be in the kennel. No big problem though. It was on the kitchen floor, and wiped up. And now there’s the paper towel outside giving him a clue as to what he should do where. Of course when we went outside, he decided to use the front lawn instead, but at least most of the mess was outside.
And yeah, you can probably expect a fair amount of dog-blogging around here for the next few days at least. This is all new and interesting to me, and even though I got along pretty well with other people’s dogs in the past, I’m learning a lot about how to deal with my own puppy.
- There’s another blog I’m going to have to add to my list. Lab-Tested is like Gizmodo for dogs! A Labrador Retriever tries out doggie toys and such, and reviews are written. [instapundit]
- Changing the rules, Minneapolis tries to make snow emergencies easier. Day two will always be even, and day three odd side of the street, no more alternating depending on what year it is. I didn’t find that that confusing, since I always just printed out the rules at the start of the season and left it at that. [strib]
- Woo! New from JibJab: It’s Good to Be in DC. [fark!]
- Wanna put words in the candidates mouths? George Says... not only lets you make GWB say things, but you can do Kerry, too. [vowe]
- H.R. 10, the 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act hasn’t passed, but is still in the House’s unfinished business, Update: passed the house (thanks to Bill for the tip), and it’s a whopping 500 pages of new laws that could make us less free. Who’s to know? I don’t have the time to read through it, but a few of the provisions that sounded scariest don’t seem to have panned out. [endwar]
- In Minniapple’s Mini Radio Stations, Wired talks about Radio Revolt a project being run by the Walker where they’re giving away milliwatt FM radio transmitters. [wired]
- I finally got around to posting the photos I took during the Whitewater Park Tour on 29. September, 2004. And yes, I’m still working on the ones from the Saints season, but there are 59 dates on which I wrote something about the saints here, plus a bunch of photos I’ve never posted before, and it’s going to take me a while to organize everything still. You’ll have to look at the river for now.
