Flu FAIL

Soo okay.. no picture to go along with this post (you will thank me). My first bit of time off work in a long time as well as my first Thanksgiving at my new house has gone well. Today is the first day in the last 4 days that I have been able to get out of the house. I have been *SICK* (a lot of good that flu shot did me). I will spare everyone the details but I was just short of going insane from cabin fever (and probably regular fever too).

My sweet (ahem) little puppy has really been a ton of help making sure that I don't ever get too comfortable. Despite that I was too sick to go into work Rags stills needs to be let out at 3 am to pee (I am pretty much used to this little fact of life now). She is also used to having at least one good sized walk during the day at some point. It has been nearly a week since I have been well enough to get off the couch much less go for a high energy walk. So she has been trying to entertain herself (un-successfully IMHO) for the last few days. We sound wonderful together. I hack and cough, she whimpers because I am not playing enough. So to compensate for not being able to take her for a walk, I have been letting her spend more time out in the backyard where I assumed (wrongly) that she would stay out of trouble back there and let me have some time to myself. She learned the fine puppy art of hole digging. Yep. A nice mud-drool covered puppy greeted my less than optimum spirits at the backdoor earlier today and after a short (about 5 second) investigation I discovered the source of the mud as being a grave she was digging for her tennis ball. A bath and related mud cleanup chores ensued and now a very grumpy flu-ridden Kristen are hoping that the bored puppy shenanigans are over for the time being.
