As I sat there fixing the high heels that my puppy managed to pull the padding off of with a pack of black rubber bands and tacky glue, a thought came to me.
“Hey Katie, I think it’s time for a new pair of shoes!”

So this morning at like.. 1:30 (of course, just as I’m actually getting close to good-sleep), my cell phone rings. I sleep with my phone by my head because it’s my alarm clock. So it scared the living jebus out of me cause it was LOUD. Pick it up… no answer. Grr. *hangs up* *phone immediately rings again* wtf “HELLO??” *no answer* *annoyed* *phone rings AGAIN* *Jeff picks up* “Hello?…. (silence) Oh!” And Jeff totally starts spouting off the most RANDOM stuff ever (never getting an audible response)
… whoever was on the other line finally hung up when he started talking about how Jell-O was ground-up cow bone that was liquefied then re-solidified and the phone didn’t ring again and all was well in the Land of Katie aside from the fact that I got no sleep.
Comments closedJust a note to let you all know that I did indeed survive the plane trip here :D
I flew from Burbank to Phoenix, then from Phoenix to Providence… my plane landed about 20 minutes late so I missed my shuttle which made me miss my train, which set me almost 2 and a half hours behind schedule o_O But no worries for I made it! YAY!
Plane rides were fairly uneventful. AZ to RI was long and a little bumpy but I took a nap and played PSP so not too bad. Then I talked to the person sitting next to me for a while and then got off the plane. My suitcase was not lost which is always good and yeah.
I need a shower and some breakfast so I can feel like a person again.
Comments closedTomorrow I leave for my first *real* vacation since… I don’t even want to think about it, it depresses me.
I’m headed off to Boston and New York for 5 days. A little short, but better than the proverbial poke in the eye. It’s also better than a literal poke in the eye. I’ll be staying with Kim and we’ll play dolls and celebrate my 21st birthday in style hahaha!
I’m excited!!
Hopefully my apartment doesn’t burn down while I’m gone.

Morning Routine:
- 6:30 – Puppy comes out of crate. Goes outside for potty and walk around the block. He likes to run too, if Dustin wants to.
- 7:00 – Food and water. Water can be left available throughout the day. Food gets taken after half an hour. Fill the bowl; he’ll eat what he wants.
- 7:30 – Back in crate. Say “Crate!” as you put him in. Put a chew toy in there too.
- Between 9:00 and 10:00 – See if he needs to pee. Attach leash and walk him over to pads. Say “Papers!” as he gets near them and “Go potty” if he pees. Then praise. If he pees, he can be played with for about half an hour; otherwise he just goes back in the crate. (Optional step; he’ll be fine until lunch)
Afternoon Routine:
- 1:00 – Take outside for potty and walk.
- 1:30 – Give him back his food. If he eats it all it’s ok to give him a little bit more.
- 2:00 – Take food bowl. He can stay out of the crate for a while now. Playtime! He can go back in crate for a while if he’s being too rowdy, etc.
- Note: Keep an eye on him. This is NINJA POOP/PEE!!! time. Also, don’t let him eat weird things.
Evening Routine:
- 7:00 – Outside for potty and walk/run.
- 7:30 – Food!
- 8:00 – More playtime.
- 10:00 or 10:30 – Bedtime! Make sure he pees before he goes in the crate or he’ll wake you up in the middle of the night.
Other Notes:
- Don’t let him bite. Tell him “NO!” firmly, but not in a yelling tone.
- Watch cords and small food things.
- Ignore him when he’s jumping. Push him down with your foot, not your hands if he’s climbing you, otherwise he thinks you’re playing.
- Don’t let him out of his crate while he is barking/whining. Wait until he stops, then let him out. Also, don’t give him attention or he’ll keep doing it.
- … don’t kill or lose my dog please.
