Bailey, Tequila, and Cici found homes!

Brad's ankles were bothering him, so I went by myself.
It was drizzly and cold out.
I like to walk by all the kennels before I go on my first walk. See who is new, and who found homes. Usually no one else is around. So I tell the dogs "Hi, my name is Sheri, and I will be your walker today."

I walked Marco first. I like him a lot, very sweet dog. He didn't seem himself though. His eyes and nose seemed pinker than usual, and he was drolling a lot when he normally doesnt. He also seemed a bit mellower. No cough or anything. So I told a staff member so they could keep an eye on him. Thinking it might just be a cold.





Next I walked Aussie. I hadn't walked her before. I thought her fur would be courser, the salt and pepper gives it that look. But actually its very very soft. She jumps and barks a lot in the kennel, I always thought she might be too much for me and drag me around. But actually she was very nice. She is super lovey dovey. I went in the kennel with her since it was drizzly out, to get in our affection time. She jumped up and put a paw on each shoulder like she was hugging me. Didn't jump, just stayed there like that while I pet and scratched her. She started kissing my neck, but kept licking where my scar is only. Likes to hug and kiss.






Lucy was my next walk. She has lots of energy. Her feet are white and looks like little white booties on her black body.

Another girl was walking dogs, but only took them out long enough to use the bathroom, I guess cause of the weather. So before I left I went over to some of the other dogs to say "hi", and sit with them in their kennels to give em some love.

On the way home I saw the Days Inn blocked off with police cars. Then further down the road 2 massive Special Response Units with police escorts drive by. Huge black military looking trucks. I called Brad at home and told him to get on the police scanner cause something big was happening. We heard the whole setup, it was really interesting. Story about it here.

I didn't sleep well the night before, and the cold weather just really wore me out. So I laid in bed while we listened to the scanner and stayed with it just long enough to hear the finale of them getting him and taking him to the hospital. Then fell asleep within seconds. Slept for a couple hours. Just wanted a hot bath. Felt bad cause I had plans for Heidi to come over and watch movies with us. But I was so whooped. I called Heidi, she wasn't feeling the best either, so we postphoned. And I went and soaked in the tub for 2 hours reading a book that Navin gave me that I just picked up again and am now getting into. The bath helped.

Then Brad and I went out for a late dinner at Panera. I had the 1/2 sandwich and bowl of soup. Perfect for a dreary day. We brought the laptop cause they have free wireless access, and Brad surfed while I made some phone calls to Beth and mom. Went to Target afterward, got somemore christmas gifts, and replaced my watch that I broke recently. Went home and wrapped myself in the blanket Josi made for me while we watched SNL.
