Let me start by thanking everyone for their kind words about The Schmooze. She is a really lovely dog, but still at the handful stage-literally-I can pick her up with one hand.
That won’t last, but as long as it does, I am enjoying having a portable dog. It makes it easier to get down stairs when somebody really has to do their business.
So far, so good.
She knows her name and is dragging the leash around the house so soon we should be walking.
Just 2 minor accidents indoors, and that’s because we didn’t get to the door on time.
And a breakthru today. The Schmooze only whined non-stop for 15 minutes when she was put in her crate.
I am dreaming of when I can sleep thru the night. (Don’t I sound like a sleep-deprived new mom?)

The Christie Brinkley divorce is making tabloid headlines in New York. I can’t believe her husband cheated on her 35 times!
At first when I heard about his infidelity, I had a moment of schodenfreud. You know, when you think “Hah! Even super models don’t have a perfect life”.
Then I got worried, and wondered if she couldn’t keep her husband interested what hope did average women like me have?
But I am heartened by a new study that found when you are in love you aren’t interested in other people; in fact, you are visually repelled when shown pictures of attractive potential mates.
I think that’s true.
My husband doesn’t notice when women are flirting with him.
I usually inform him after the fact, like when the woman moves to another country.
Whether love is blind or he’s completely oblivious…I win.
