Dog Parks, Sonic, and Writing Hell

We were FINALLY able to take the pups to the dog park today. Living in Texas is so hard on Siberian Huskies--it just is too hot to let the huskies go have fun at Fort Woof until the temperature is in the mid-70's. Those temps finally came this week. Frankly I was worried--the last time Maddox had been at the park was at 10 months. He is now 17 months, and all boy. But he did great! Shelby did too of course. I now have a seat belt or Maddox and it makes it so much easier in the car-- am about to hook Shelby into the system, too. Nice not to have to fight the dogs from climbing into the front heh.

Afterwords, we all went for ice cream at Sonic.

Maddox trying to get a sip of strawberry shake from Nick:



Shelby and her cone--the angle makes her legs look short, but compared to better-bred huskies, her legs ARE short compared to Maddox and the other huskies that were at the park (she is my puppymill girl and I love her regardless).



Maddox scarfing his cone:



And a picture of both pups slurping up the good stuff:



Sonic is The Bomb, so say Maddox and Shelby. Nick and I both (but especially Nick) fell in love with a sweetheart of a little foster dog girl--supposedly lab mix, but I just saw pit mix. She had on a pink heart collar and silly pink ribbons around her back legs. She was the ONLY dog that I petted and even held that Maddox wasn't jealous of. I know she will go to a good home. It was alot of fun, alot of dogs, and we're going back tomorrow. Definitely.

It was a nice day, even though I had a crisis in writing. Am just not sure what I am doing anymore with my writing. Not happy with anything. But I did notify my editor I had a manuscript completed and ready to turn in. That's something, at least.

C, pretty much bordering on the emo now that Nick's return to Germany is exactly two weeks from today

I'm glad you and the pups had a nice time. ♥

NO WRITING CRISISESESES. We should talk, mostly because I miss talking to you. I should probably get on YM, huh?

NICK CAN'T GO BACK. D: I say we hide him.

Email me if you want to emo about writing. Back from China.

Oh what darling doggies!

They are, they are...and we took them again tonight. TOo many dogs though. Twice as many as yesterday. Sigh. Good weather does that after a long hot summer!

Has it been that long?! Crikes, time flies by. But you already have plans to visit him again, don't you? You'll pull through, you will. :)

Congrats on completing the manuscript and hope the muses will be kind(er) to you in the future!

Yes, of course! We're not sure when yet though--but I'll be plotting that soon. Having that floating out there makes the between easier.

Mean muses--today was better. It just hurts and sucks really bad to realize that the 1500 words written so happily, did not fit. Sigh. I really am/was disappointed but oh well. Moving onward!

*hugs* Try not to stress about the writing (and Nick going back). Maybe that will free up your writing muse. :)

[identity profile] paragraphs.livejournal.com 2008-10-20 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Try, but no can not do. LOL. Sigh.

I have told my muse to be ready for November.

btw, fwiw, you know how I feel about JM on a personal level--but she IS in DC, and is heavily involved with politics, etc. She retired from a job at the Pentagon in the past few years (I think she is retired.) I agree with her comment to you on your lj, just was not about to agree with her there. LOL. I too live in a state that is very much the other color, but the tide needs to turn, and I will be voting for Obama, too.

Off to get Nick!

I do know. And I understand why, too.

*hugs* :)

Maybe we just need a break from writing in order to write? Eh. Awe, at least the doggies got a cone of their own! That was nice of you :)

noooo I need to FOCUS and shut up and stop playing so much! LOL. :)\
