Yay, I came home from work to diarrhea all over my carpet. Joy. The poor old dog walked back and forth through it, too. It is EVERYWHERE. I guess I get to spend the next couple of hours with a steam cleaner and a scrub brush. I am so not looking forward to this.

Last night he got confused and ended up stuck back here in my craft/computer room. He must've gotten pretty freaked out trying to find the way out because it looked like a tornado hit this place this morning. He pulled my Wacom off the desk, which brought my desk organizer full of tacks, paper clips and my earrings tumbling to the floor. I still haven't found a couple of the earrings, but I did manage to find a thumbtack with my bare foot. *sigh*

Marcus and I got really tired of our bikes being in the living room, so he decided to get a rack to hang them in the laundry room. To do this, I had to move Skippy's food out to the dining room. In the long run, this will be good because he keeps falling on that long linoleum trip through the kitchen to the laundry room and then he can't get up. In the short term, the poor dog is totally confused as to why the laundry room door is shut and so he just keeps standing in front of it waiting for it to open. Silly dog. I hope he finds his food and water soon.

The hardest thing I had to do when I got my first dog from the Dumb Friends League back in 1993 was figure out his name. It was several days before I found something that fit. There are tons of resoruces out there for human baby name suggestions, but now there is one for the new dog owner. There are tons of resources at Alldognames.com - Dog Names categorized by most popular, size, color and gender. Suggestions from movies and literature. The site also provides general naming tips for your new puppy as well as trends in dog names and celebrity dog news. This will be the first site I visited when i get my next canine companion.

Ah, why do dogs sleep in doorways or walkways and then stand up when you try to step over them? I can kick Skippy in the butt, push him...nothing. The minute I try to step over, he's up like a flash. He just made me kick the leg of the couch and boy, oh boy, did it HURT! I hope I didn't break my pinky toe.
