Our Dog Needs Pet Therapy!

I have decided that our dog needs pet therapy. She is afraid and goofy at the silliest things. She barked yesterday for like half an hour at the gladiolas we had bought at the grocery store. I know they are tall and there were a lot of them because we got two bundles of ten each for $5, but still!!!

The biggest problem we are having with her right now is that she won't drink out of the new water container we got her (or any water container really). We got one of those 2.5 gallon automatic dispensing water containers for her a week ago, and she drank out of it and was perfectly fine. This week she is scared to death of it. She won't go anywhere near it, and even when we tried the peanut butter trick of smearing peanut butter (her favorite) around the edges, she refused to do anything but gingerly lick the peanut butter off and then run away. She needs pet therapy to get over her fear of water containers!

Other than that, it is DEFINITELY a Monday. This morning I woke up a little later than usual because I couldn't manage to get myself out of bed (been having trouble with that lately on weekdays), and stumbled into the shower. I mentally chose the outfit I would wear, and when I went to get out and put it on, I couldn't find one important piece of it. I ran around the apartment trying to find it, but with no luck. So I picked another outfit and then I couldn't find a certain pair of shoes that matched it (I did end up finding those at least before I left). As if I wasn't already running late and frustrated!!! I couldn't get a hold of Austin at work which was annoying me and then I had to walk the dog and give her her antibiotic (Austin usually does this but he was also running late this morning and he has a more strict time schedule than I do). Needless to say, I didn't leave the apartment until almost the time I normally get to work so now I will have to work later as well which makes me bitter! Luckily, we have a flexible time to get in and I still got here before anyone else I work with, but now I also have to stay later. Oh well!

Hopefully the rest of the day will get better. I'm very anxious/nervous today and that doesn't help. I'm trying to calm my nerves with music, and I think I will put on some Sarah McLachlan, shut my office door, and calmly resume data entry. Hope the rest of the week goes faster and more smoothly. At least I just have to manage these five days of work and then off to the beach on Saturday for five days - yippee! :) Our weekend was good at least - go see "The Island" - very good, interesting movie that comes out this weekend but we caught a sneak preview on Saturday night. Hope you all had a great weekend and here's to hoping this week passes by quickly! :)
