Life with a new dog definitely has it’s ups and downs. She is still sweet and lovable, but we’ve learned she has some separation issues. My daughter has been showering her with attention and Sophie is not alowed in the kids bedrooms (for now) and so at night she fusses and then chews my daughters flip flops to shreds. I think it’s a love/hate thing. Loves my daughter so much but is angry that she’s deserted her so she chews. Hmmm. A crate will fix that, it’s coming tomorrow. As well as a choke chain to curb her nasty leash behavior. I don’t think she really walked much on a leash before we got her.
We’re still trying to figure out the rules. I would love her to be able to have free roam of the house, and my daughter wants her in her bed at night, but untiil we have her awhile and make sure the potty issues are resolved, I really don’t want her on my carpet unattended. So much for my soft heart!

And yes, Roobee, I can’t wait to knit for her! I saw a great dog sweater book at the library. Gotta get the Kevat shawl done first. It’s posted on my ravelry page for anyone who cares. It’s nearly done, photos coming soon.

In other news, I spent ten hours in bed today with a migraine.  Woke up this morning feeling awful and took meds, ate some toast, and went back to bed.  Got up at 6:15 pm.  Not good.  Thankfully my DH had the day off and could help me with what had to be done.  I missed an all star game this evening and feeling bad about that, but mostly I’m just relieved that the pain in my head is gone.  This was a scary one, vomiting, and pure misery.  I took my max of meds and was worried I’ve have to go to the ER if it didn’t let up.   That doesn’t happen often, maybe once per year, but I’ve had two of those in the past 30 days.  Send some healing thoughts my way.  Or the name of a good surgeon who can perform a headectomy.  That is my husband’s idea.  He’s so helpful.
