Good morning one and all.
I know I haven't posted a blog about writing for a few days now, but a lot of new things have been happening and I'm getting distracted.
Yesterday a sprightly, waggly tailed Basset Hound named Fred arrived in our lives. He is lively and mellow all at the same time. He's 3.5 and pretty mature most of the time, but has this flippey way of arching his body and jumping when another dog is walking by. It's incredible how much a dog can communicate without saying anything at all!
Last night I climbed into bed and put a cozy blanket on the floor for Fred. He walked over to the side of my bed and with his eyes asked me if he could come up: I said Yes. He happily curled up on the end of my bed and made content little groaning noises, sometimes he even snored a little. He woke me up a couple times to go out and for belly rubs. His routine has been up in the air since his family had to find him a new home: Allergies.
I predict that over the next couple days he'll settle in and sleep through the night.
My son doesn't know about the dog yet (he's been asking me for a dog for years) so I am going to meet him at the school bus with Fred today. I can't wait to see both their faces.
When I was walking Fred this morning every time a school bus went by he looked up and wagged his tail. And every time he saw a child he did the same. Obviously, Fred loves kids.
This is a really great adventure and Fred is a wonderful addition to our lives.
