Doggie Daycare

So since James has been in LA for the past week, I had decided that Tank would be by himself way too much. We go to puppy class at this place called "Oh My Dog" and they offer a doggie daycare service. I called the owner to ask her a few questions about the daycare before I made the decision to take him there Friday. I was leaving work early and he had a vet appointment at 2 so I thought it would be a good day to try it out. In case he didn't like it, he would only be there half a day.

So Friday morning I took him there about 7:15 so I could see how he reacted before I left him there for the day. The owner had apparently talked to the girl working that day because she already knew who Tank was and that I was very nervous about bringing him. She kept reassuring him that he would be ok and that I could watch him on the webcam. Yes, they have a webcam. Since it was still early, the only other small dog there was a mini chiwawa and Tank loved playing with her. It was hilarious. The chiwawa would run circles around him and bark. Then he would run circles and bark. It was really funny to watch.

When I got to work I was very upset when I found out that my computer at work has Internet video blocked. I immediately called our MIS department and asked if I could get it unblocked so I could watch Tank. They thought this was quite funny so they also watched Tank for awhile. At one point I was watching the webcam and saw that Tank was humping another dog (from the side, mind you. What is that going to do?). I immediately closed the window in disgust. He hasn't had a humping problem since I threw away his stuffed gorilla that was the size of him.

When I went to pick him up at 1:00 for his vet appointment he was so full of energy that we had a spaz in the parking lot of doggie daycare. But when I got him into the car and onto the seat he passed out in a matter of minutes. He also kept panting and I figured he needed some water before the vet, so we stopped at Mickey D's and they gave us the water for free. He then proceeded to piss and shit on the floor of the vet (and James's mom works there, luckily she was on vaca). I think Tank loves doggie daycare so he will be going there probably once a week. Funny little guy.

A busy weekend

This weekend started off awesome since I took a half day off at work on Friday and James had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off for graduation. We went to lunch and then off to Friday Night Bash at the Bison's game. James got chosen for the on field promotion for the NY Lottery. He only made two bean bags in the hole though. I think he hit the girl holding the sign more than he made it into the hole.

Saturday we got up and did some yard work. We now have a "garden"! And by "garden" I mean a half assed piece of dirt that we put some stone around. That night we took Tank over to James's parents house so he could play with her dogs Moo and Toby. By the time we got home he was exhausted which was great.
This morning we got up early for James's graduation. He received his Bachelor of Science from New York State University at Buffalo. He had a double major of Communications and Psychology. Congratulations James!

Happy Odd Day!

Apparently today is Odd Day. 05/07/09 <- All odd numbers. This is boggling my mind that it doesn't happen more often. I guess we only have 3 more dates and then we have to wait 90 years before another Odd Day rolls around. You can read about it here.

Tank's Muscle T

This is Tank's new Harley Davidson Muscle T I got him from PetsMart. It makes him look tough.
