Summer Days

So my greyhound Digby has been learning the lay of the land around my house for about two weeks now. Many things are still strange and wonderful novelties to him. Such as the television. Black and white shows and movies he doesn't pay any mind to but then if we put in any sort of cartoons with lots of sounds and colors he gets VERY excited. He'll stand in front of our big screen and cock his head back and forth at each sound. The most fun thing about it is that if you pause or stop whatever is playing he starts to whine and bark at the TV. It's very easy to be amused when watching him.

Unfortunately there ARE some downers to having this new doggy.

I have enough trouble keeping my toes from getting hurt as it is, (Table legs and bed posts always seem to love to trip me) but Digby steps on my toes. It hurts. Imagine an 80lb dog stepping on your toes... And staying there happily until you get over the initial trauma and manage to free your foot. I'm seriously considering steel toed shoes...

I actually do other things with my life though than protect my toes and watch my dog.

The other day I went to the Rapids Water Park.

It was fun.

The Florida sun was not.

In Florida around noon you do not want to be near any WINDOWS let alone outside.

I'm all like "Alright this should be a nice day at the water park" :)
The sun is like "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA... you missed a spot with your sunscreen" >:D "Let's see how long it takes me to get your skin to be lobster-ized".

Thanks again, Florida. I love you too.
