Down The Rabbit Hole

Things are going really well with Daisy and our new puppy, Jenny. While they haven’t had another off-leash encounter, they have been hanging out, on leash, in the same room, going for walks together, and touching noses without incident. Daisy has pretty much lost interest in Jenny, which is a really great sign. I knew it was going to be OK, we just have to take it slow. We need to do a lot of training work with Jenny; being a puppy, she has horrible manners and she just wants to jump all over Daisy, which I don’t think would go well. While Daisy has no burning desire to chomp her in half anymore, if put in the position to have to lay the smackdown, I’m sure she would. And I don’t want her to have to do that. So they won’t meet off leash again until Jenny calms her puppy butt down a bit.

Also, I had an appointment with the Neurology department at UCLA yesterday about my muscle twitches, and they told me they are benign fasciculations. They did a complete neurological exam and I passed with flying colors. They still want to do an MRI just to make 100% sure that all is well, but the doc said he is already “99.9% sure”. He said that after the year I’ve had, it’s no surprise that my body is manifesting stress this way, that it is actually extremely common. So, that’s a load off my mind.

Sorry for the lack of pictures lately, especially of the new puppy, but I am going through camera withdrawal. I haven’t mentioned it, but when we left France back in July, we lent our Canon Digital Rebel XTI to my brother in law, who was subsequently robbed in Prague. Now some Czech douchebag is running around with our camera. So we just have our little point and shoot, which is a lovely little camera, but not the one I want to use right now. We have a new one on the way, so new pics of the puppy will be here soon!

Also, I opened an Etsy store for my photography, in case anyone is would like to buy a print. There are only three available right now, but there will be more later. I love how easy it is becoming in our world to share things like this. I don’t care if anyone ever buys anything, I just like the idea that people can see them.
