today

today was a GREAT day.

i finally asked my boss lady if i could have mondays off. so today was my first monday off.  to have two days off in a row feels extremely exhilirating, like i belong to the land of the living.

it was perfect timing with getting the dogs just yesterday & all too, so they wouldn't have to be alone on their first day.

i did run some errands this afternoon so they were alone for almost 4 hours.  johnny cried.  i could hear him three floors down in the parking lot.  it broke my heart.  but i made myself leave because we need them to get accustomed to alone time.  i was seriously doubting getting two dogs in the beginning, but now i'm sooo glad we did.  they need each others company.

zane had a closing shift so we planned on sleeping in together, but we both were wide awake before 8 am.  we got up & assessed the damage the dogs perhaps created during the night, but weirdly the room was exactly as we'd left it when we shut our eyes to sleep. whew.

we took the kids out for a walk.  junebug hates the grass, so she pees on the concrete. kinda funny.

it felt really nice to not sleep the day away & get up & go outside first thing.

then we packed j&j in the car and went to starbucks.  they were such good little children.  it's amazing how approachable they make us.  we sat next to an older couple who rescued some dogs of their own.  they asked us when we'd gotten them.  they were shocked when we told them yesterday.  they commented on how calm they are.  strangers think they're calm... that's how calm they are.  we got sooo lucky.

then we took them to petsmart & got ms. june a harness.  she doesn't really know how to walk on a leash & she chokes herself, so we decided a harness would be better.  it's working like a charm too.

we took zane to work & took them in again to see more of his co-workers who'd missed them yesterday.  they were a hit.

i picked up lunch for zane & i after my errand running & we went to check on the dogs.  they were so good.  the house was completely in tact.  no messes.  just wagging tails greeting us at the door.

i'm kinda gushing i know.  i might lose one or two of my three readers, lol.  what can i say? we love em!
