That’s no puppy!

January 3rd, 2002

Well have breaked from blogging for the holidays. While i’m still on break, I have run into some holiday snags which allow me plenty of time for blogging. On a positive note: Hanni House is now on Yahoo and Google! Yes, i made the big time folks. Time to pop a bottle of safeway select cider and guzzle in a celebratory fashion. Cheers~!

Well got lots of lovely things for christmas, including dvd player and O-town DVD, moulin rouge dvd, and bridget jones dvd. I also got a diamond tennis bracelet from angelface! So lucky in love.

We also got a new red dog, an irish setter pup named Riley.

We should’ve named him Satan.

At first we thought he was the greatest dog in the world. He was already trained to pee on newspaper, instead of the rug, he was gentle and cuddly and slept most the day. Well, that lasted about a week. Riley has gradually become that horrible puppy who chews up your slippers, couch cushions, banister, phillips dvd wires (grrr), etc. Last night he peed on the floor, and i cursed him, but cleaned it up post haste. After cleaning up, i walked into the living room only to get attacked my a stealthy copper missile aimed directly at my right calf. Riley sunk one of those sharp little puppy teeth in, he didn’t even give warning. He didn’t bark first. He didn’t do anything, except latch himself on to my meaty flesh.

Well, I fell down, laughing at how comical the situation was. In fact, for a second it reminded me when our 25lb cat launched off the sofa and dug it’s claws into my step mom’s butt and hung their for a minute. That was pretty funny. Not for step mom of course.

Anyway, so I laughed until i felt the blood spurt onto my favorite burberry plaid pants. Then of course i cried - those are dry clean only! Little bastard. I later commented “look riley, you’re red… like the DEVIL!”

Well, also the heater in the car has stopped working. Since I am currently in Alaska, i really need that heater. I”m bringing it to the garage today. It’s 9 am right now, but i’m afraid to drive to the mechanic’s, because it’s crazy dark outside still. The sun should be up at 10, perhaps then i will venture out into the frozen north.

Well, must have some breakfast and celebrate my new celebrity status as “person - listed - on - yahoo”
