Oops – it’s been a few days since my last blog! The weekend was super-busy – we had our 20-month-old niece (and her parents, of course) up visiting this weekend from NYC. So we spent most of the weekend chasing Lizzy and controlling Molly…Molly really wanted to play with Lizzy, but weighs at least twice as much, and is a bit on the rambunctious side still. Unfortunately, even though my house is somewhat puppy-proof, it’s definitely not toddler-proof! There’s something about opposable thumbs, I think. :) Lizzy’s a lot of fun, though – we taught her the word “bagel” this weekend, and for breakfast Sunday I was sitting on the couch with Lizzy next to me and Molly in front of me, feeding Lizzy the soft inside parts of a bagel and feeding Molly the tough crust. I, of course, didn’t get to eat any<\/i> of my bagel. Oh, well…<\/p>\n
\nMonday we had obedience training for Molly. She’s actually starting to really behave – as long as you have food to offer her! Unfortunately, the trainer noticed that she’s been limping somewhat. We already know she has hip displaysia, where the hip joint is all out-of-whack, but the trainer (who only sees her once a week, and therefore notices differences more) seems to think she’s gotten worse. So, it’s off to the vet next Monday to have her hips x-rayed again. Poor puppy. :( They have to knock them out to do x-rays…last time, Molly was so disoriented she slept for two days straight – which of course was a blessing when she was a six-month-old terror!<\/p>\n
Last night was so<\/i> much fun! I started bellydancing class, which Jenny<\/a>, Tina<\/a> and Jo<\/a> are also taking. (Except they’re in the intermediate class – I’m just a beginner.) I can definitely see how this could be a workout – muscles I didn’t even know I had are kind of achy today. But I think it will be neat. We’re going to do a veil dance, and the music she’s chosen actually has the same rhythm as the rhumba…it’s all coming together now. :) <\/p>\n Tonight, I’m looking forward to a night with nothing to do except read book 4 of Harry Potter and do laundry. :) Oh, and work on my master’s project. Which is actually ahead of schedule, so maybe I’ll just read instead….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oops – it’s been a few days since my last blog!
