It is going to be.... a LONG.... day.

when is the plan for sleep?

So, like, 7:30-3?

That's the idea. For now, at least, the kids are at school so I can. It would be problematic in the summer, but with the surgery and the new shift-bids coming up, I might not be on graves that long.

*nod*

oy, cat

Hehehe. What's she doin'?

GOD I need a cat... pets, really.

prring

but my right arm is trapped

You don't need it.

Clearly.

makes typing interesting

and slow

oh, we want headbutts

YES. It is important you smell right. And owned.

she smacks her head into my chin like a tiny purry tank

then she stands back feet on my arm, front paws on laptop desk and bosom so she can lick my eyebrow

bear in mind, feral rescue

Good heavens.

oh, my nose is also dirty

She's in charge.

grah

Like love from fishy sandpaper.

yup

Clean you up, groomed all nice, ready for the day.

helpful

A treasure, really.

she is a sweetie though

Sounds it! *L*

I think I know what I want for post surgical recovery.

kitty!

Yep. That's what I'm going to insist on. The pets. Fence or no fence.

kitty is in house, needs no fence!

Yes, but kitty and puppy have to come together, as kitty has a natural advantage to start with and allowing seniority just sets the dog back even further.

And dog needs a fence, or needs to have lots of leash/walk/supervised play time.

AND post surgery I can't do that SO... kids and/or fence.

is a run an option?

not sure of gator threat

r planned dog size

but my aunt's cocker spaniel does real well with a tie-out

Looking for a labby.

Gator threat is real, but not urgent. Our property backs onto a canal.

We haven't seen any gators. Yet.

laaaabbbbbbbs

best puppers

but yes, fence

and since cat is so much smaller, and labs are laid back, maybe not so bad cat has an advantage?

I have a timid kitty, so
