dogs

ok. sound design midterm ad practical done .
lets see last night we took Zoe out around the landings in the golf cart . stopped at a few playgrounds to see if she would do the dog agility thing .
she is soo cute . and very trusting.

we had her run around the playground over by one of the pools. she was a little nervous at first going up the “wall” and the wooden foot bridge but after the 3 time crossing it she was old pro and having a ball. such a good baby.
i’m really thinking about taking her to an agility trail at some point. i think she would do good. we hardly ever see her touch the ground at home. she is a hover dog. she kinda floats.
also very much the tom boy. dosn’t like getting brushed fights me . :-P
so much for prissy dog i think someone was very rough gooming her at one time . because she hates it.
and yes i’m very very gental. but. it’s hard whenshe won’t just sit still.
i think before some one though to get a matte out of her hair you just yank. so if i touch one she struggles and i hate haveing to hold her down but i like to untangle them as much as possible or cut them out.
any way.
she was “helping” with yard work the other day, so i had to give her a bath.
we havea shower up stairs with a door . it’s asier i think to just bring her in there . i got some animal conditoner that i use also the mane and tail horse and people condtoner. says for pets also. anyway i figures becuse she is so figgity about those mattes on her under belly best to try to soften them .
and it’s not like she has matted hair it’s these tiny little knots she gets maybe one or 2 a day useually under her elbows or her belly. also she still seems tender around wher she was spayed. i’m not sure if she is tender or just very protective. i don’t think she is tender becuse we have no trouble with belly rubbs.

any way last night was a bit hot. so we were a bit spread out on te bed . (king sized Zoe gets half becuse she sleeps streched out in the middle on one side. silly pup.
matt ends up in the worst spots becuse he is up so late. so i get the crack in the middle and he got the wall.
then as if Zoe didn’t have enough room she dicided my pillow was batter place for her so i ended up curled in the middle of the bed. oh well.
it will be her and matt again today.

acctully i’m very proud of both of them .
zoe is calming down a bit. and warming up to every one . still much the barker but i’m tryin to work on that.
she remembers “bottle” so i think i’ll have to pick on up to curb the unnessisarry barking.
I know she will able to distigish propper and impropper i just think we need some coaching. Jingles did. only barked when protecting or durring tricks. i miss him .

any way . i had worked with him a bit too. but he was also a Lab and 3 years oldwhnwe got him. Zoe is just loseing her puppy bark. and a very active teenager.

now on to Matt .
i’m so proud of him he got a huge amount of yard work done this weekend . i think he cleared about 15 bags of leaves from the yard and courtyard. ther is probly 3 or 4 too go in the deck area.
i hung a few wind chimes . and he reseeded he lawn and is installing new yard lights.
he father seems happy with is good.
i’m still stressing a little about not working . i’ll try best buy again on thrusday. and ask jamie but i think we will apply for jobs at walmart being that they are opening a new one near our new apartments.
but right now i’m keeping my options open .
i should proply start looking in my feild.
but i have to really look for something to use as a portfoio peices after mine was stolen i’m ata bit of a loss. might be best to finnish settling with my insurance themn get new softwares.
i’m thinking about getting the new adobe suit instead of a camera.
or i could but it on a payment plan from bestbuy.
i really don’t wantto though that woulld mean useing my CC and i’m so in debt right now it’s no longer funny
i was considering that after i start working again . and probly doing odd jobs . if i can make enough money to get my bills payed over summer and through fall. i can use my next disbursment to pay off my discover and best buy card . and reconsolodate my sudent loans . see if i can get a better intrest rate.
i have to switch all my stuff to GA. too , my car insurance reg ect.
then in a mounth i have to move my renters policy to my new place. what fun.

i have no idea how much it’s going to be to register down here.

oh and my lost /stolen camera. it is no longer in service and the last new one i found i couldn’t bid on because i don’t know if i had the money . and the techincal value of the camera . isn’t going to get me crap.
i did some reserch on it .
the trv-740 was the last in the sony betwen line . it was nicer then the home vid camcorders but just under production quality . but for student work it was perfect.
they no longer make camcorders like it. the next closest is the 1200$ one and the one i’ll end up stuck with is the 469$ trv-460? it’s not nearly as good half the fetures not any wher near as good a zoom . no digital zoom no night vison that i could see. sux .
i miss my camera.
