Bloggy

I'm in a bloggy mood tonight.  Maybe it's the new keyboard.  I say that only half kidding.  I do love a new toy. 

I've moved Eddie's crate back into the house in hopes that he'll stop following me around.  I couldn't put it back downstairs because then we'd have the open door problem.  I don't want to risk Avery falling down the stairs and a gate would prevent Eddie from getting to his crate when he wants to be there, so it's better to have the door closed.  Anyway, this leaves the dining room.  Doesn't look too great, but it also doesn't bother me much since I don't often go in there. It's working somewhat, but not the magic cure I was hoping it would be.  This means that both dogs are back to sleeping in the house at night.  This morning, at 5 AM, I learned that I must remember to make sure the gate at the bottom of the stairs is completely latched.  Eddie let himself through both gates this morning since they weren't latched tightly.  This would be fine except that it woke Avery up when she heard the gate at the top of the stairs.  Fortunately for Eddie, she went back to sleep.  Avery discovered Eddie's crate today.  He was outside, so I let her crawl in and out of it. She loved that.

Tonight I made myself dinner while D is away.  That is a rarity.  But an even bigger rarity was that I made up my own recipe, tyvm.  I bought ingredients for turkey burgers, but didn't feel like those, so I made a ground turkey pasta salad and added some sauteed zucchinni.  It was actually very good.  In fact, I was eating it in front of Avery and she wanted to try it.  Wouldn't you know she ate the turkey!  And I saw her put a bow tie pasta in her mouth and then take it out.  She may have eaten one when I wasn't looking.  Oh, the excitement here at CdT never ends.  So it turns out Avery likes meat more than anything else we've given her.

I took the dogs on their first walk since we got back. The weather has been crappy and I've been lazy.  Since I had to be out of the house for two hours today, it seemed an ideal day to resume the walks.
