amazing to think of what i did before the puppy. Like computer work. Pay bills. watch tv. watch MOVIES.

yesterday we took mr ralphie on a long ass walk. saw (e:drew) along the way which confused the crap out of me... why? because random jogging person said 'hi felly, hi lauren'... this is unusual you see because now random people that we meet say 'hi ralphie'.


yes it has happened that quick. Ralphie is a celebrity. We have so many people stopping us to say hello to him that we have regulars! From across the street... "HEY ITS RALPHIE!!" oh sweet jesus no leave my dog alone...

We have people pulling over to stop and gawk at my dog... the best was when 3 large guido type fellows pulled over in their suv to yell at us...

"Aye he's really cute! I bet I'd be pretty cute if i had a dog like that!"

Now stop and read that last line again but this time, think of Rocky saying it. yeah... its like that...

so anyway, on to the world outside of Ralphie.

its my day off and i'm driving to East Aurora for an 830 am meeting. bitches.

WHAT A GORGEOUS DAY OUT?!~!!

started out with a nice walk with Ralphie. Walked up Elmwood to Lexington ave and back, and he did so well. THe little shit is so stubborn he refuses to move for the first block of the walk and then he finally gives in and LOVES it.

Today I'm thinkin about pickin up the fam and headin out to delaware park for a little picinic. just some sammiches, a blanket and some relaxation with Senior Ralphipants.

Tonight I believe that we will head out to Miss Kitties to meet up with (e:lauren)'s friends. We havne't been out in forever. Haven't done much other than raise a puppy and work and dance class in forever. I think its totally time for a drink. or two.

hope everyone enjoys this beautiful day~!

remember that guy who drove around with his SS# written on the top of his van? he was inviting people to try and steal his identity.

He got his identity stolen. HAHAHAHA!

what an idiot

Now that things are settled down... sorta... i feel as though i can rejoin the world.

Training a dog is suprisingly time consuming. Scratch that. Training a Dachshund, one of the most stubborn breeds that exhists, is time consuming. It is a good thing that Lauren is out of school so that she can do this properly.

He is doing very well with most things that he is learning (no biting, potty on the floor, potty in crate, barking, being a bitch to the cats, going into the bathroom -which is the delightful land of kitty litter) but his stubborn streak means he is doing it all still when it seems to benefit him more than not.

he is quarentined to a makeshift area in our kitchen. Which that in itself is shifting everything in our lives a bit. When nothing is in its 'proper place' it throws a wrench into your daily workings.

When I get home from work I have to split as much of my time between bonding with ralphie and paying attention to the cats so they don't scratch my eyes out in my sleep.

in other news...

(e:lauren), my smarty smart pants, got her grades in for class last semester and she got two A's and two A-'s. What a smarty smart pants!

(E:lauren) is going to need a job soon. A job in something that is closer to 'women/genders studies' than 'wilson farms'. anyone know of something?
