Haven’t had much time to be here it was a busy week

Monday-Thursday my son only had one live cyber school class so while I usually get to sit by him until noon and mylot I wasn’t able to do that. There was a lot of assigned work we had to do that kept us busy all day. Thursday morning my father in law stopped by and the puppy got scared and pooped on the floor. After dinner was the induction ceremony for the National Junior Honor Society. There were 11 8th graders and 2 9th graders. My daughters in 8th and I hope she continues to keep up with her awesome grades all through high school. Her gpa for the 3rd quarter was 98.2. We were really low on propane so I was conserving it as long as I could but we ran out Monday. On Friday afternoon the new company I chose delivered me a new full tank and hooked everything up. The puppy was so scared when these two came in that she pooped and peed on the floor in MANY places. It was a gorgeous 85° F so my son and I went to the playground and took my nephew with us. They rode around on scooters. After we got home my boyfriend and his son came over. His son and my daughter walked to town and brought back drinks then walked to the playground and played basketball with an old basketball they found while on their walk. My boyfriend left the toilet lid up and his dog drank from it which was bad enough but when she drinks she spills it all out of her mouth all through the next two rooms. So then I had to sanitize the floors. Saturday my daughter and I went shopping and went to the discount movie theater and watched “Love, Simon”. It was amazing! I got really teary eyed a few times and could hear some not so silent criers behind me a ways. Today my boyfriend, his son and dog dropped by to visit. I had a bunch of cooking and cleaning to do so I didn’t get to relax much with him. Photo is of my puppy. I thought it was so cute how she holds her bone up in her paws to chew it.

@mlgen1037 thank you. The week is much calmer and I am happy to have propane to my stove and oven again so I can cook more.

@Courtlynn We have Netflix so we rarely go to the movies anymore. She really wanted to see this and we haven't been to the movies in over a year. The tickets were $3 a piece so I figured I could handle that cost for a day out with her

@Courtlynn There is one around here that isn't a discount theater and they have days and times where tickets are lower cost such as $5 before 5 pm. When we first started going to this particular discount cinema about 5 years ago tickets were $1.50 only. I loved that! But I can't really complain over $3 either

Your puppy is cute, how is it that she is so scared of people? I wonder why dogs like to drink from the toilet bowl.

@LadyDuck I really don't know she has been so timid like this since we got her. I think it's partly the Chihuahua in her.

@LadyDuck that's awesome. Any of them I have ever met were very skittish and my boyfriend mentioned the same things about ones he's known.

Such a cute pup. It would take effort but I wonder if you could have treats handy for your pup- when somebody strange to pup shows, be sure that visitor is given the pup's treat so that the visitor can treat her. Maybe then she'd think of visitors as fun and not scary monsters?

@sallypup I have tried that at times but she won't come anywhere close to them usually to get the treat. The other day a woman came and my puppy barked but did go up to smell her hand and sat on my lap near the woman. She seems to react much worse to strangers that are men.

@shaggin That's interesting. Have the stranger put the treat a bit away from them then quietly sit and wait and maybe see if they can lure your pup. I know. That takes time and patience.

You certainly are one busy lady. I'm certain your daughter will keep up those wonderful grades! Just awesomeness!!!! I don't know why dogs drink from toilets. I'm sure you had a nice bowl of water for your adorable puppy.

@DianneN there’s always fresh water out but my boyfriends dog loves the toilet My puppy thankfully is to small to get her face in there. We always keep the lid down but my boyfriend doesn’t at his house so he forgets here.

It appears to me that the dogs in your life cause an awful lot of extra work. I hope that puppy starts finding other ways to express fear and unhappiness.

@Iam_jauntyjen at the moment. He had medicine for his ADHD that morning so she was able to tolerate him more.

@andriaperry I don't really know she's just such a nervous dog around strangers especially men for some reason. She adores my boyfriend though but she has met his many times.
