3:30 AM

Cayenne is an EARLY riser.  Also, she had to pee.  This girl held it for 24 hours.  Nervous dogs can hold it up to 2 days without worry.  She had the LONGEST pee squat -- bummer it was at 3:30, but I'm glad she finally went.  She's starting to trust us -- still wants to RUN -- still on maximum security.

It's now about 5:30.  I'm propped up with COFFEE (like 5 cups since it's mostly decaf).  Her foster picks her up at 11 o'clock.

She's not happy with me (for obvious reasons), but I'm not happy with her.  Frankly, she's been nasty -- by phone and on social media.  No help with the situation, annoyed about everything.  Give me a break.  I was doing her a big favor (all boarding was full and she waited until the last minute to ask for help) and this was a freak accident.  It ruined our weekend and cost us a ton of money and she's complaining.  I'm finished apologizing.  Also, she failed to mention a lot of Cayenne's "habits" -- barking, chewing.  The boyfriend told us when he dropped her off.

For as much as she's passive-aggressively blasting me on social media, others are coming to my defense -- directly answering back to her.  Thankful for them.

Kids are coming for an abbreviated, postponed BBQ.  I'm not in the mood to cook, entertain, see grand-dogs.  I want to put my jammies on and go to bed.

This is a full week and I need to get my head on straight.  Tons of "fun" stuff that doesn't feel fun right now.  The only thing that seems fun is BED.

UPDATE:  Cayenne just pooped 4 times on my carpet -- right next to me, also lightening fast.  We were just outside.  All loose - fun times.  She's been holding that too.  You'd think it would been solid, but I guess nerves mess up everything.

On a lighter, less moody note -- we watched the first season of Imposters (Netflix).  (We were stuck at home and stuck to a dog -- got the entire first season finished.)  It started strong and then took a turn which made it seem like it was headed for STUPID land.  BUT, it didn't.  It was funny, corny, twisty and well-acted (after that odd little moment early on).  Worth a sofa watch on a lazy day.  Season 2 is already out -- we're a little late to the game on this one.

Want to see a few cute pictures?  My grand-dogs graduated -- these make me laugh!

Highly trained CHIHUAHUA -- watch out world.

She's so stinking cute!

That is all from HAPPY-LAND this morning.  My goal this week is to GET MY POOP IN A GROUP (shit together -- hah).

Also, we are well aware it's Memorial Day and that perspective is humbling.  Thankful for everyone who sacrificed on the highest level.  I know it's a day to remember those lost, but I think there's nothing wrong with also adding gratitude to ALL who served and sacrificed today.  Even if our focus is on those lost, there's enough to go around for everyone.
