Rain, rain and a dog


We were scheduled for Weatherford tonight but the weather wasn't looking like it would cooperate. I got all my errands done so I would be ready to go out to the game. I finished all my grading, billing caught up, I ran to Sam's and Albertson's and then came home to change clothes to run to the gym and to get the oil changed. Eric had texted that the workout room was locked again so they couldn't get any lifting done so as I got home he was going to go out for a run. I fixed a quick tomato sandwich and as I finished he opened the front door and said "Anna, come see this!" so I did and he had a dog follow him home from his run. He tried to get it to stay but it just followed him all the way home. We spent some time trying to decide what to do with her. He walked with her back out about where he picked her up and tried knocking on a few doors, with no luck. We finally put her in the back yard and he gave her some water, then Eric had to jump the fence to get out without her joining us either in the house or in the front yard. I ran off to the gym. When I came out, he had texted to say he gave her food. He's found a friend. After getting to the bus, the guys were told to wait since it might be a rain out and eventually it was. Well after we all got home again, we introduced the dogs, which went smoothly at first but then Rhoda started attacking "Sunshine" and we had to pull them apart. Just when we thought they were ok, I went to throw something out and came back to another dog fight which ended with our dogs being put inside in their crates and the new dog left out. Then the storms got bad and we went to check on Sunshine but she was no longer there. She had torn apart the bottom of the gate to get out and she ran away. I guess there won't be another dog introduction lesson tomorrow, unless Eric goes for another run and she's still out there. So, here we are with another unplanned off night. I am very tired for no good reason so it's ok, Eric, Jose, Jeremy and Tyler W went to Hooters and then the movies to see Ocean's Thirteen and I've talked to Gayle and Amy to plan our trip to LA and Australia and I've listened to a bit of Josh's game and worked on about 4 pages of the scrapbook. It was kind of a weird anticlimactic kind of day but all in all I guess it's not too bad.
