Can you teach a four-year-old dog new tricks?
The sweet thing about having a big dog is that they're so cool and athletic. I always kinda saw Frisky as a bit of a nerd: Intimidated by other dogs, barked non-stop at whoever came to the door, afraid of swimming, not the biggest fan of running (liked walks though). It was so exciting to finally get a big dog that looked like a cool dude. I often thought that in the dog-world he's the good-looking sporty-type. (Although a lot nicer than most jocks). But I guess all jocks have gotta have a sport that they're not good at. Point and case: frisbee.
I don't think Zeth could catch that thing if his life depended on it. What's funnier is that it kept landing face-down on the pavement, so he couldn't even pick it up (not his fault, but very funny none-the-less). He did try catching it a few times, figured out it liked to hit him in the head, and then began ignoring or dodging it when it sailed towards him. What was supposed to be a game of frisbee this morning soon turned into keep-away (four legs against two), followed by tug-of-war (which is one of the sports he is good at), ending with a sport that I'm good at: Sit-down-and-stay-because-I-said-so-and-I'm-bigger-than-you. My attempt to recommence the frisbee game failed, and now I am here.
Part two: I talked to MJ last night. I instinctively knew it was her so I rushed to the phone, not caring that I was in the middle of washing my face and had suds all over my face and hands (and ears and therefore the phone). Anyway, she's stuck in Winnipeg. As advised by the Big Man, she is not paying $800 to fix her car, but is buying one in Winnipeg and driving it here. So her arrival is delayed... My excitement is burning... (I don't even know what that means)
Anyway, plans for the summer include scrap-booking our trip like a couple of old maids, and coming up with a game-plan for Nessa's move.
My friends are so awesome. Especially my closest girls. (I'm planning on getting Becky blogger-hooked ASAP) Ther and Bob, I love our newly-found Sisterhood of the Blogs. (Picture me saying that with a deepened voice and echo effect). I love our long comments back and forth and commenting for this person on that person's blog, and leaving comment-responses on our own blogs. We're pretty much the coolest thing ever.
Speaking of which!!! Delia and Jane are in Calgary and will be home to North Battleford next week!!! AAHHHHhhh!!! EEEEEeeeeee!!!! HYper!!!! VentILaTIng!!!! GAhhhhhh!!
I am hungry. Food time.

I must agree, this sisterhood of blogs is quite fun. It makes it a whole lot easier for you to know whats going on with my life so far away when I'm on night shift!!! I'm so very glad I did give in, Plus its always a thrill to see what you two yahoo's have to say about my ongoing soap opera....
The post count will probably be down this week for me, seeing as I'm on B shift, and well that involves working, sleeping and going to the gym!
