Teddy started barking and whining around 9:30 last night and didn’t settle down until after 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took him out first, around the block. He’d broken his leash earlier and pulled pretty hard at the beginning of the walk, but seemed to have settled down by the time we got back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, he started barking and fussing about an hour later. He’d bitten through a couple of the vanes in the sliding door blinds. Ron took him out again and told me this morning, the neighbor’s dogs were out, raising Cain when they spotted Teddy. This was around 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron got him calmed down, and we all slept until 6. Today, Teddy and I walked, both in the field and the street, and Ron took him for a long walk. Teddy and I sat for a short while in his “den” until it got too cold for me. Sunny but windy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between outings, Teddy showed that he’s mastered his steps, both up and down! He’s likely climbed the equivalent of a flight of stairs; quite a breakthrough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron dropped out excise tax payments off at Town Hall and did a small grocery shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I left a message for Rep. Connolly (Virginia) thanking him for calling out his juvenile Republican colleagues at the USPS hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron’s computer acquired a nasty piece of malware that took us two days and two anti-virus applications to delete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had ice cream for the first time in weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
