Puppy Brain is leaving

Sniffle Sniffle....Why?!!!! Oh why is my girl growing up? ....I guess I can't be that upset about Athena listening better. I was noticing last night how she has changed colors yet again and how adult she is looking. Even the way she goes about things seems less puppy impulsive and more adult rational. Example...instead of trying to shove her self under the couch to get her toy. She gets down and slowly puts her paw under and tries to sweep it out.

She even listened to commands when other people were around even her most favorite person in the whole wide world! On mothers day we had about 6 people over for dinner. I told the dogs "Out" as in out of the kitchen /dinning room area and she and my moms dog both went and laid on their beds. No lap begging. And this great obedience continued the whole 2 weeks my aunt visited. Making me look like the best dog trainer ever! My aunt even told me when the time comes for her to get a dog she will pay me to come out and train the dog LOL.

The light finally turned onto a higher setting and I'm really liking it even though it does make me teary eyed sometimes.

Heh yeah right I'm not growing up. I'm just letting you get your guard down....

Blisters are Evil

Out of all the years of hiking, walking, biking, running (in high school) i never ever had issues with blisters. Once or twice i got them on my heel when i was breaking in new boots but never with broken in shoes. Yesterday my aunt and I wandered around the city walking up and down the piers on the Sunny day SF had yesterday and for the first time in a long time I have not one but TWO blisters on the bottom of my feet. I have worn those shoes before many times and i have worn those same socks with those shoes many times. I wasn't any hotter then usual so i have no idea why i got blisters.

They hurt like a mother because they are right on the pads of my feet between my big toe and 2nd toe over. So I'm walking like a idiot on the sides of my feet, which I'm sure is not good. I keep popping them but they keep coming back :(. I guess i need to break down and get those blister bandaids. BUT on a nicer note i had a blast touring the city and down the coast with my aunt. I bought some candy at pier 39 and stuff at the herb room in Santa Cruz and hit up Valley Fair for some much needed bra shopping. It was so relaxing...and i'm sitting here at work not wanting to work LOL. I wish my auntie would finally find a job out here! Know anyone who is hiring a Labor Delivery nurse? LOL.

I want to go back....

To the land of no allergies aka Arizona. I was amazed how good I slept and felt there. No stuffy nose, no itchy eyes or mucous. Ahhh pure bliss!

I just got back from Az on Sunday and I had a blast. Bead shopping in Scottsdale, The heard museum in Phoenix, Jewelry shopping in Mesa, a tour of the Apache rez and great friends and pooches to escort me around, what more could a girl as for on a short 4 day vacation??? My trip reminded me just now much love it there. Maybe one day I will find a job in my favorite City down there (Flagstaff). I'm sure Athena and I would enjoy the mild heat in the summer and snow in the winter.

Molly I thought of you! There were cyclist everywhere on our way out of town. One even had a red bike like yours, but i knew you wouldn't miss a sharks game :)

BTW....GOOOOOOOO SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets go boys bring home the cup!!!!!!!!!!!!
