crate update, part 2

October 25th, 2005

so i ordered this crate for seamus saturday. this lady at work comes in monday and says “my daughter said she’d sell you hers for $50″ and i’m like “fuckin hell.” so i email the online crate chick and leave her a voicemail. she finally gets back to me at almost 6pm and tells me that it’s been cancelled, no charge or anything.

the lady brings in the crate today and it’s fuckin huge. it’s 48 long x 30 wide x 34ish high, all in inches. it barely fit in the scion. it’s like big enough for wilson. so i get it home and put it in the garage, and seamus just walks right in it. he sniffed aroud and came out, then i snapped for him to go back in and he went right in again. hopefully this crate training thing will go a lot more smoothly than i thought.

tory came with me to take seamus and wilson to the dog park in norman tonight. i think they had a hell of a time. seamus was kinda shy at first, then he realized that it was ok to run around and play and he got the job done. i don’t think he was ready to leave, but it was time. so i’m going to take one or both of them back soon. i think it was good for them.

i originally took them to see if they would play together, and surprisingly wilson would stop chasing the other dogs occasionally and play with seamus. then they’d both take off after the other dogs. wilson was leading the pack, and now he’s worn out, which is good.

someone said something that i never thought i’d hear. seamus was chasing aroud this little jack russell terrier or something. he’d let it get away and then he’d catch up and nudge her, then do it again. someone said “look at how graceful he is.” i was like, “um yeah, i guess he is.”

i don’t really get to see him run around that much since my yard is so small, and let me tell you something, that little son of a bitch is FAST! wilson is pretty fast, but i already knew that. seamus looked like he could chase and catch rabbits or something equally as fast. I am very proud of him. he got along with all the other dogs. it’s not that i didn’t think he would, because he loves EVERYONE, but he’s never been around that many of them at one time.

he’s also been very good in the house the last few nights. i have not really had to get on to him about fucking with stuff he’s not supposed to. he’s earned another trip to the dog park, and this time i don’t think i’m going to take both of them at the same time. as big as my cargo area is, it’s a crowded ride back there.

so enough of this blogging shit. i have to meet the new general tomorrow, and i don’t feel one way or another about it. i’m going to be the only one not wearing a tie, and i’m going to enjoy the hell out of it. anyway, piece, i’m out..
