Joey is visiting us, on his way from Oklahoma to Florida. Yesterday we spent some time together doing a bunch of stuff, including getting him a haircut at the local barber. Today I’m going to have him help me with a few little projects around the house, while we also watch football, make a lasagna, and a “Four Layer Delight” for desert.
It’s good to have him around, and to hear his new plan for his life. He’s going to follow his dream of making music. I’m on board, since I think dreams are a wonderful thing to follow, but it’s probably best to follow them while you’re young and unencumbered. Later on, when he’s married with kids, there’ll be plenty of time for doing what’s “normal,” mature and responsible. I would love it if his music plans did indeed pan out! Then maybe instead of him just recommending new bands to me, he might be IN the new band he recommends! That would be cool.
I say Joey is “unencumbered,” but not exactly, because he has Reggie. Yes, he got a dog. A pug. And Terry, you’ll love this: when I asked him why a dog and why a pug, he said he remembered going over your house and playing with Corky and Peanut and deciding that someday he wanted to have a pug. As you can see, Reggie is a chocolate pug. He’s a puppy still, and a bundle of energy! The cats have been a little put off, but after 24 hours or so they’re starting to feel more comfortable about coming out of hiding and finding out what’s going on with this stranger in their house. If Joey was going to be here long enough, I wouldn’t doubt it if eventually they would all be hanging out and having fun together.
Well, that’s just a quick update. I’ll write more later. But today is going to be a busy day! In addition to all the activities I mentioned above, Russ and I also need to post our next podcast!
More later….
Reggie looks like a corker! How I miss the pugs. The pugs yes but not all that hair! A lot of dog in a little package is what the word Pug means in Latin I believe. Good luck with the training Joey.
