Bob’s new boots:
“Bob was getting some abrasions on his pads from all the snow and salty sidewalks so I got him some boots to try out.”
Ooo. The possibility of Meathead coming to live with me for a month and a half has raised its not-so-ugly head; it might work out that to save some money I can bring her back with me from Coppell’s in a few weeks (Coppell would join her when he moves to the UK at the end of March).
This is an enticing prospect as I like her *a lot*, but at the same time I have some concerns.
Although it could be said that I look after and corral animals on a daily basis at work, i’ve never looked after anything bigger than a rabbit (neighbours were on holiday). Its always been hamsters or fish on the personal ownership front, so a larger beast is a bit weird. What would happen if I let her off the lead in a park and she never came back or got squashed? JESUS. On the lead it is at all times I think.
Meathead is very small and very lazy when not destroying things, so even though I live in a 4m x 4m shoebox, she should be okay doing not very much during the day when i’d be at work. There are parks not too far away and a vets ten minutes down the road, and I know that going out for walks would be some good exercise for both me and Meathead.
I’m not planning on going away anywhere for more than a day, so I wouldn’t need to worry about having to leave her anywhere, though my brother is coming to stay for a couple of days and i’m not sure him and Meathead and me in one small space is a very good idea.
There are ways round my concerns so I shouldn’t think about them too much; anyway, I don’t even know if she’ll be coming over with me so I need to wait and see. I am still a bit excited though. I am such a dork.
