Walkies

Doug took Toffee for a huge walk today, and I took Dahlia with intentions on a long walk. We went different directions because they do such a shitty job when we go together. 

Dahlia did pretty well with me, she lost her shit when she saw another dog (she's in heat so we're not being social. I had to explain that to a guy and his beautiful grey and white pittie. Male. 

It was windier than I thought, and while I had my winter coat on, it was still a bit on the uncomfortable side. We did a 2 block circle. 

Be proud of me. 

And because I knew Doug would be gone for a long time on his walk, Mr. I Don't Care How Cold It Is Sometimes, I continued to walk inside. 

I paused my fitbit tracking the walk once we got in the door and then walked for another solid 20 minutes. Cranked up the playlist and had Ghost, Guster (Ghoster), Hole, the Killers, Genesis, and the Monkees to keep me company. 

And Dahlia walked with me the whole time. She's a bit confused when I do this, but she goes with. So she got her exercise too. 

This afternoon was D&D, hilarious game. Our DM forced us into doing some character development by having to betray our darkest secrets in order to be given a hint to continue down a dangerous path. So on the spot, I had to create an element of my back story to "confess." I told Matt I really loved that, because we all have these characters we're playing, and we don't know a thing about each other. Except Haven is a half orc who is horny for everyone. She and I are the muscle of the group and right now she is absolutely distracted by one of our NPC characters and trying to get with her. 

I think next break in the action, my character (human/paladin) is going to have a talk with her because she's putting us in danger. 

Oh I love it. So much fun. 

And then the Superb Owl tonight. What a joke this game was. The entire country thought the matchup would be really great and the Eagles just rolled all over KC. All my New England friends on the internets were saying well, 40-0, let's not forget the Pats and Falcons and 28-3, okay? But really things were way far gone beyond 28-3. 

We didn't have a bespoke dinner meal tonight because I made superb owl snacks, and we ate our fill. Well, I did. The boys whipped out some microwave burritos after halftime. 

The dogs had a tremendous amount of playtime today. They get nutty after dinner and took literally every toy out of the box and went bananas. 

We're giving Dahlia a break with the diaper, I think. Doug may put it on her before we get in bed, but she's doing pretty good cleaning herself and she's not leaving a trail or drops or marks anywhere. We may be out of the woods on this stage of the game, maybe. Not sure. 

Anyway. Tired. Good day all around. Digits below.
