Weekend Recap: I'll never be alone...

because Cleo must be attached at my hip or she'll howl if I leave and get me kicked out of my new apt. I know I've been talking about this forever it seems though it's only been 10 days. This recap is actually from last weekend, though it'll be similar to this weekend's. I got Cleo back on Thursday night the 17th so couldn't make track. Friday was the first day I left her home alone when I didn't even get my 2 T stops to work and I already had the voice message that she was making noise and I went right back home. So since then I've been trying to deal w/ the problem and I'm exhausting my possibilities quite quickly. My sleep got real screwed up last weekend, going to bed 6am and sleeping late into the afternoon. I was on call over the weekend and had to go in on Saturday but got a call that Cleo was howling while I was there so had to get home as soon as I could. Stressful! Trying to take care of one animal at work and getting called about my animal at home. Made it home and she seemed fine. Ran Cleo to RR and Jenn's new place in Fenway, it's about 1.8 miles from mine and then they watched her while I tried to do a 20 miler. Only could get in 10 miles. It was late at night by then and my hands froze and I had no energy. Hung out at their place to eat pizza and watch all the Survivors I missed while in Australia. Jenn's brother was there and doesn't really like dogs so got stuck w/ two monsters while there, sorry Dan :0) Walked home real late so had to deal w/ drunk idiots. Went to bed real late and got up real late. Missed the Women's Trials, Janet didn't call me and Jen wasn't there anyway. Not sure what I did on Sunday.

At this point I decided to back out of the marathon. With all this craziness I haven't been able to really get in running and I can't just leave Cleo in more weird situations until I get her used to the current one, and I'm also on call at work and couldn't get a replacement, so I feel bad for screwing Tara w/ all this, it's her first marathon and we were supposed to do it together, but there are plenty of CRCers and her friends going to cheer for her so I still feel awful about it and I understand if she's upset about it. Hopefully we can get back on track, we haven't really been on our usually friendly terms since the whole Cleo situation emerged.

Monday was the Boston Marathon and I took Cleo out to Mile 23 where all the CRCers were cheering for our teammates.

Here's Coach Scott, Cleo and Me

Got there late but we still saw a bunch of people including Jos and Jake, Yay! We took the T out there but then walked back which was a disaster because we got caught up in so many people and diverged in the opposite direction we were trying to go, we had a vet appt. on Charles St. and ended up being 15 min. late which is embarrassing for me being a vet. The vet wasn't so helpful but gave us a prescription for ace as a short-term solution which is no fun to play around w/.

Started using the ace on Tues and had no problems Tues-Thurs that I know of but didn't use it on Friday because she was vomiting and then got called home from work by the property manager who also mentioned you get one warning then $100 fine, then $200 fine, then $500 fine and dog has to be removed in 3 days. Great way to start this weekend! tbc in next recap...
