Snips, snails and puppy dog tails...

This has been a weekend of both excesses and defiencies; it was filled with too much of many things a person shouldn't have and not enough of things we should do. Fried foods and beer among those in abundance, and sleep on the latter of those activities we needed more of (at least for me anyway). Thankfully, we took on this two day endeavor together so we are finding each other being drawn to the same comfortable spots in the house which allows for a good amount of cuddling and nap stealing.

Enter the puppy. Frankie has a very limited understanding of social interactions between humans, so to say it lightly he has all the tact you would expect a small puppy to have when mommy and daddy just want to relax on the couch. I don't mean to sound like we don't love him dearly, and I am sure to him it makes perfect sense that when every day is a day off and you finally have your masters around during daylight hours the logical decisions are to lick, pounce and fetch toys for/on them. Apparently dachschunds were bred for birth control purposes in addition to their excellent badger hunting abilities because if having children is more work than this dog then waiting a little longer is no brainer (plus I haven't heard of a baby yet who has flushed out a badger).

This next week will thankfully be a short week for the Mrs. but for myself it is only shortened by a few hours and I can already tell by the size of my inbox it will be a hellish one. Hopefully having some help back in the office after being alone for a month will get things rolling quickly.
