My life is a wee bit scattered right now
Or maybe “really scattered” is more accurate.
Our new house doesn’t have internet, nor does it have much furniture. As such, my work is conducted on the kitchen floor with regular trips to Places of Free Wifi.
Oh, and did I mention we got a new puppy?
For those of you who HAVEN’T seen my frequent pics up on Twitter, then I introduce the latest addition to my family:
Allow me to introduce her Worshipfulness,
Princess Leia.
Or just Leia, for short.
Or That Darned Puppy. She pretty much comes to any word emitted in a high-pitched squeal.
She’s a 4-month old poodle/terrier mix, and WOW is she a handful. A sweet, fun, adorable handful, of course. 😉
So essentially, my life consists of trying to get work done, repainting what few items of furniture I currently possess, and running around cleaning up teeny puddles of puppy pee.
Ah, the joys of house training…
But at least Asimov has a playmate, and it’s so entertaining to watch them. She chases after him everywhere he goes, just like a little sister who wants nothing more than to impress her big brother. I keep imagining her shouting, “WAIT FOR ME!” a là the little rabbit in Robin Hood.
I’m totally smitten (as I tend to get with animals of any kind. Except for snails. I’m not a huge snail person. Okay, and roaches. BLECH.).
You tell me:Â What are you up to right about now? Hopefully something more exciting than I…

D’awwwwwww, puppy.Â

Hahahaha–I’m gonna start using “d’awwww” now.

Awww! Puppies are just too freaking cute. Here’s hoping you get Internet set up at the new casa soon! I would be going crazy. 😉

Thanks Meredith! <3

Those dogs are precious!!! That’s the one thing I miss most when I’m at college- not having a little furry face there to greet me when I come home. Best of luck with your Internet and house training! 🙂

Oh jeez, when I was in a dorm room I *hated* not having a pet, and the instant I got a place of my own, I adopted my cat Duma. 😀 I NEED ANIMALS AROUND!
February 22, 2012 @ 6:43 pm
Oh I love that you named her Leia! she has no idea how lucky she is 🙂 Have fun settling in!
February 27, 2012 @ 3:10 pm
She has no idea, you’re right…though she does get a LOT of Star Wars-themed jokes thrown at her…
February 22, 2012 @ 8:43 pm
What a cute puppy!! And the name is absolutely perfect!Â
February 27, 2012 @ 3:11 pm
Thanks! It was a long debate between that and Junior (after Indiana Jones). 😉

I think between the dogs and the Robin Hood I died of adorable. Â (this is a legitimate cause of death, I swear)
That’s just how my small Maltise-Shiatzu was with our Goldendoodle before she realized that though he is about five times her weight, he’s about as brave and threatening as the Cowardly Lion. Now she runs the house, all twelve pounds of her.
And right now, I am just trying to tackle school, writing, and reading. Â School has this unfortunate tendency of crushing the other two.
February 27, 2012 @ 3:13 pm
Oh yes, school *definitely* takes unfortunate precedence over the rest of life. It’s pretty much the same with writing these days (for me). Don’t get me wrong–I love writing–but the contractual writing/revising trumps all pleasure writing and definitely all reading. Ugh…
Re: the Napoleon Syndrome in dogs–We had two dachshunds growing up who were the same, and now my parents have a chihuahua mix who ALSO thinks she’s much larger than she is!

Ahhhhhh a new house, putiing in the furniture, the paint, the kitchen, ahhh. I’d love a nice kitchen. A magical place where people clean up after themselves:O. Call me strange but it’s very annoyng to clean up after other people when it would just take them two seconds (annoyed face) Like I come home after university and blegh.
Anyway, a puppy!!!!:O:O:O:O. I’m personally a bit of a cat person, probably, but dogs wohoo. She’s pretty big for a 4 month old puppy, probably just the picture.
February 27, 2012 @ 3:14 pm
A place where people clean up after themselves WOULD be magical! But alas, it’s only a pipe dream. 😉
And I love me some cats too–we have two, and they are currently terrorized by Leia…

Love her name! Best wishes settling in with the new family member 🙂
Just watched Disney’s Robin Hood the other night as my partner’s never seen it. I was rushed back to my childhood when the pants-less fox was my very first crush! LOL. So dashing. *sigh* So many good lines. “Be GONE, long one!”
February 27, 2012 @ 3:16 pm
HAHAHA. BE GONE, LONG ONE!! I totally forgot that line. I still run around singing, “Robin Hood and Little John walkin’ through the forest, laughing back and forth at what the other one had to say…” I’m pretty sure that fox was my first crush too–so dashing!

Leia looks a lot like a certain little ratty terrier of mine 🙂  Happy Birthday Susan!  Love Auntie M
February 27, 2012 @ 3:16 pm
She DOES have a definite little, hyper black terrier look… Here’s to hoping she turns out like yours!
