Got Weekend Plans?

I think we may also go see the Science of Sleep. Anybody have any thoughts on that one

i saw it last weekend. it certainly has its flaws, but that's sort of what makes it work. it's very gondry, with lots of subconscious workings of the brain stuff, weird visuals, bright colors, music video style editing and all that. likeable characters, well-paced, solid B, maybe B+. nah, we'll stick with B.

BTW, Sorry to hear about your lame dog ggw. How old is he?

He's two. He's fine really; he just has a bunch of sutures on his side and walks around whimpering because he's a giant spoiled baby.

Then you need to watch the dog whisperer.

I think I was once passed by an artificial leg guy. I know I was passed by the guy in wing tips.

Do you leave your dog home alone during the workday? We've got future dog plans, but that's one of our obvious concerns.

Today - nursing my dog, who had surgery yesterday and is in a miserable mood.

Saturday - go look at houses.

Sunday - Army Ten Miler. Considering I hurt my back right after Christmas last year and didn't run at all in 2006 until three weeks ago and have only run twice since then, I'm predicting an absolutely miserable time. It will be good to get out and race, but I pray I don't get passed by any of the guys with artificial legs. That would be really demoralizing.

Monday - sit around and groan about my sore muscles. Hopefully I'll rally and make it to the Dead Meadow show.

He gets walked in the afternoon while we're at work. Dog walkers might be a little expensive for your tastes, Rhett. It's $15 for 20 minutes.

No, he's a wonderfully obedient dog. He's just looking for some extra sympathy today and I'm complying.

You may have just given us an idea for my wife's next career.

That was my career for 3 years until a few months ago when I went back to the professional world. My wife and I started a dog-walking business on Cap Hill. It's a great business to be in (low start-up costs and expenses, exercise, be your own boss), and a LOT more lucrative than I would've expected.

The one irony of dog-walking, however, is that most people who do it gain weight rather than lose it.

It's the treats, isn't it? I swear, we bought our dog training treats that smell just like a BBQ Beef sandwich.

I'm almost tempted to give it a taste when my wife's not looking…

Perhaps she could pair it with her desire to be a fitness instructor.

The reason is that you spend all day walking, often somewhat slowly, but enough so that the last thing you want to do at night is exercise. It's very wearying, walking 5-6 miles a day in a stop-and-go fashion, but it's not particularly aerobic.

you need a sibling in the area who works from home

I am actually dog sitting right now for my brother while he and his wife are on the east coast, he has 3 dogs, 2 very big ones. He normally stops by on his lunch break to let them out when he is working.

How about morning and evening jogs/walks and a fenced backyard to rome around during the day? Would that not cut it?

they can last the day without getting out if necessary, and he always takes them on walks/jogs morning and evening, they dont just leave them out normally though, i think because they bark too much then, they do come and go to the fenced back yard as they please when somebody is home

they did have somebody break in recently though, and the burglar quickly left when a Newfoundland and a English Mastiff came at him

Just got back from two hours in the dentists chair. I'm not going to have a good weekend.

Tomorrow night i'm going to the Warner to see some crazy Beatles tribute band…..my friend has a front row seat for me. Should be really….wierd. Looking forward to it though.
