My Other Life

This is what I look like when I am not training or playing- this is my other life.

This is Damie in study mode. Notice how I am completely surrounded..ahem...captured by three animals. I have Presley on the desk ready to pounce on my papers and Rooney and Latte are circling me like sharks.

Never mind that Dave is doing nothing but watching TV...plenty of time to play with everyone. Oh no. They want to be wherever mommy is. I think when I sit down to study the animals feel they have a captive audience. Ooh, ooh...mommy is sitting...attack!!! Look at me, look at me!!!

No more than 5 minutes after this picture was taken, both dogs were asleep at my feet and the cat was asleep on my papers. When I finally decided to take some books to bed, I quietly tried to sneak up and out. But, the pitter patter of 3 little animals followed me right to the bedroom.

The truth of it is, I secretly love it. I love being the favorite mommy. I will gladly miss some questions on a test in exchange for Roo bringing me his nasty cat toy for a game of tug of war and breaking my concentration. Actually, he is doing that right now as I type. Animals=Love.

Hope everyone has a great weekend ahead.

With me it was Nada and Luka breaking my concentration, and I didn't welcome it nearly as much as you do!

I went to the humane society yesterday to "look" at dogs. I decided, I really don't want one, not right now, even though Nada does. It's nice not having anyone to care for right now. But seeing your dogs and hearing how great they are did make me rethink it again...for a second.

HI Hun,
I am having fun down here. I am about to show everybody your website so hopefully you will have some new readers. I love you and can't wait to see you tomorrow night. Tell Rooney and Presley hello for me.
