Weekend Recap: Dog For Free

Just a joke, couldn't help it! So this Friday I was barely at work because of Cleo. When I got home I didn't hear a peep out of her as I went up the elevator and into the apt and when I'm with her she doesn't make any noise. Forget how I spent Friday night, I think watching lots of TV shows online or DVD: catching up on Nip/Tuck and House. Stayed up too late, kept trying to go to bed but I had so much on my mind. I'd start falling asleep watching my laptop and then didn't want to drop it on the floor so would put it away and try to go to bed but it wouldn't work so I'd start watching again and so on until maybe after 4am I feel asleep. Got up around noon on Sat. when rr called. Think I watched more shows and moped around real bad. At one point I was on the phone w/ rr and started crying and he started laughing at me. I couldn't stop crying and he couldn't stop laughing and jenn was in the background yelling at him for laughing at me crying. He told me to come over so he could watch Cleo and I could go running because Jenn was going to a friend's house so I went over late afternoon and got to run 9.5 miles but again my arms froze and I had to stop. Again I got caught up on Survivor and Jenn came home and we got UBurger for the first time. I hadn't eaten all day so was starving but only the first bite of UBurger was good. Watched the Celtics lose and eventually went home around 1:30am. The 1.8 mile walk that late w/ the drunkards isn't so fun but I always forget my T pass and to leave while the T is still running.

Think I stayed up a bit when I got home watching shows and then to bed late and up around noon when rr called again. Ended up on the phone a lot today! Talked to Jen in Maine for a long time, then to Juan in Florida for a long time, Rebecca in Kansas for a long time. Had to fill them in on the Cleo situation, we're all vets! and still no good solution, and my trip to Australia.

Juan wants me to tell you all that if we're not married in 10 years April 27th, we will get married. Haha! Not sure how that would work so we'll see. I think he thinks he will be married by then, but I guess in case...he needs a backup plan. I don't really care about getting married at this point though 10 years is kinda a long time from now but I don't think I need to be married so if I'm not in 10 years I don't think I'd care, at least today I don't care. But if that's what Juan wants how can I say No?! He said he'd start saving today for my $10,000 diamond ring, though in 10 years I think I'd expect more than that :0) I still think of Juan as the very young, immature boy because I met him when he was 22 I think but I asked how old he was today and he said 28! I was shocked! I can't believe he's that old, even older than db, that freaks me out!!

It was great to catch up w/ everyone! Cleo and I made a trip to Petco and got a shock collar and muzzle to see if they would help. Came home and rr and Jenn came over w/ Shangri-La for dinner, yummy gross food, now I want to go finish my crap rangoons since it's 3:20am and I'm hungry again. Hold on! They tried to put my air-conditioner in the window but it was too risky and we didn't want it to fall 6 stories and kill people so that ended up being a waste. I have to call my fix-it guy to see if he can do it so I'm not responsible. Then we tried to experiment w/ Cleo. We put the no bark collar on her and left the room and stood by the elevators. She started howling right away but just kept doing it though you could hear her shaking her head like she could feel something and was trying to shake the collar off. Trouble is she didn't stop and I didn't want to get in trouble so we had to go back in the room. Then a while later I put the muzzle on and left the room again and you could hear her trying to get it off and she wasn't howling right away but then when she couldn't get it off she started howling, so the muzzle doesn't stop howling. Gotta return that thing. Ultimately I can return the no bark collar if I keep trying and no success. Tomorrow's plan is to give her ace and put the collar on. She doesn't seem to howl on ace because she's so sedated so the collar may not be a factor but in case she still trying to howl maybe it'll deter her, not sure. It's hard to test all this stuff out because she doesn't make any noise when I'm home. Will also call a behaviorist for a consult if not too expensive and then get some babysitters for short-term. I can't get fined so if it comes to that I'll just have to move out. Jenn is checking if her building has any open studios so maybe I can move there and then Cleo can go over there during the day and if not they might ask still if Cleo can come over during the day to be w/ Billy. Not sure if they'd go for that. Running out of options. If you have any let me know!
