Did I mention how I love the dog? Lord how I love the dog!
He's sleepin' like a baby right now 'cause he's had a mighty big afternoon. We went out to feed Sacred, and despite the chill factor Blaze thought it might be a good idea and commenced gingerly climbing into Sacred's water trough. "No..." I warned him - "you have just had a bath". (I might add at this juncture that bathing a 47kg long-haired dog is no mean feat.) Suitably chastised, Blaze removed his paw from the trough and retreated like the good old boy he is.
At this point I thought it might be a fine idea to go for a late afternoon stroll with some other dog owners who were there. Yep. Feelin' fine. A nice relaxin' walk. Just what the doctor ordered after a long day in school. Blazie thought it was a damn fine idea, too. He and the other dogs ducked and dodged and leapt about like pups. Ahhh - bliss!
Then I noticed Blazie vanish into a little gully. Just his tail visible. What's he up to? Found himself a puddle, he did. Bit of a puddle after the weekend's downpour. Wanted to get himself a bit of a drink. No problem! Then I watched in horror as he plunged in up to his chin, swam about, emerged - threw himself onto his back in the mud and rolled about with glee. Finally he stood up, smiling from ear to ear, dog stuff well and truly attended to. I bent double laughing. "I love you!" I shouted. "God, I love you!"
So now the car smells like wet dog and so does the house. The dog is sound asleep and not interested in conversation.
My books didn't arrive yet... so I went to hire a dvd... and the dvd won't play... grrrrr! I had such an urge to watch "Seed of Chucky". So now I've been online shopping for dvds and it's all the dvd shop's fault! I didn't buy "Seed of Chucky", though. I bought "Bound" instead. And now I have to wait for it to arrive... like my books.... (sitting here tapping my fingers like the mailman might miraculously appear right now at 11pm...)
One more day till holidays!!!!!
Cross your fingers my books get here tomorrow before all the Easter public holidays!
