Of Puppies, Houses, And Other Semi-Remarkable Changes

"And Jesus said, 'Wherever two of you gather in my name I will be present.' But seriously I think he expected a bigger fucking crowd." - T.O. Hob

My father had surgery just the other day, I'm happy to report he's doing well, but I'm even happier to say that you never really get used to being worried about your parents. My father and I don't always see eye to eye on things, but at least we have the opportunity to disagree.

Outside some mortgage complications the house is pretty much all locked up. We won't be closing on the 11th, but we'll be closing soon after. I got to wander around a bit during the home inspection and I'm very happy with what I'm getting...even if it did cost quite a bit too much.

So I jumped the gun a little bit and bought a dog before I could actually move into my house. I made a few calls and managed to find a French Bulldog puppy in Northern Massachusetts, just a few minutes outside Vermont. So I took a few hours off and hauled ass up to the sticks, had lunch with two very gay but very nice gentleman, discussed the responsibilites of having a dog, picked out my puppy and headed back. I had thought of so many names for the little guy but none seemed to really fit him. They called him Tucky, which is far too...you know. So I think I'll call him Tuck for now. See if it takes. Little guy has some learning to do, he won't take the leash and while housebreaking has turned out to be an adventure. He took a nice little shit on his training mat, then waddled off and pissed on the floor. Can't win sometimes.

Youth Mass was small again today, only two kids showed up, good kids the both of them. I wish there was something I could do to make people understand how important that community is, even though I'm not a huge fan of the place the community happens to be tied to.

Lot going on at work, but it's Sunday night, I'm tired and not entirely optimistic about the upcoming week. We'll just have to see how it goes though...see which way the ball bounces and the whatnot.

Night All.
