Take Your Dog To Work Day

I work in a fairly small office on campus. We only have four professional staff, all of whom own dogs. So when one of my co-workers suggested that we observe National Take Your Dog to Work Day, our boss thought it was a great idea. We each contributed $10 for the privilege of bringing Princess, Boca, Molly and Morgan to work with us. We then turned around and made a $40 donation to a local no-kill animal shelter, where my Princess and her friend Boca came from.

The dogs had to take awhile to get to know each other, and poor Princess wasn't terribly impressed. Boca got a bit territorial and nipped at her, so Her Royal Highness spent most of the morning under my desk, growling at anyone who approached my office. I took her home at lunch, because it seemed like she was saying "I've had just about enough of this forced socialization, and if you don't take me home soon, I'm going to pee on your foot!"

At any rate, the pups are totally cute, and I thought you'd all like to see some pictures. Here's my Princess being calmed and having a cool drink:

And here's Morgan, Princess and Molly:

And finally, here's Boca (in Doggie Jail after nipping all three of the other doggies):

Loving the Dog Days of Summer!

Cheers!

Pachelbel Rant

Woo-Hoo! As I went to have my daily cup of English Tea, I was surprised to see that I had been selected as one of the winners of Chloe's fun new notecards! I'm preppy and I love it!

This morning, as I carried Sweet Baby Son downstairs, wearing my lovely lavender broadcloth shirt and cream trousers, I was listening intently to his babbling, wondering why my leg felt wet. When I arrived downstairs, I realized it was because the little bugger had overflowed his diaper and, literally, peed my pants. Oh the joys of motherhood!

On the topic of peeing pants, you have GOT to check out this video. In another lifetime, I was a high school band and choir director, as well as a church musician, so I have intimate knowledge of Pachelbel and his famous Canon in D.

Cheers!
