I was back at work Wednesday after my week and a half of Saturdays wrapped around the holidays. At our company the New Years Day Holiday is the last paid holiday until Memorial Day (May 26th), hence the long grind. Sure I could drop a few vacation days along the way but one (cough, cough) never knows when a "mental health" day may become necessary. Well the days at work went by quickly, not a lot of things for me to do this week but I got my time in. I spoke with the vet the other day about Patches, we doubled up his daily dose of pills...he was out of the kennel both days he was left there. Last night, wishing I had a way to put a lid on the kennel, I realized I had an extra kennel panel the width of the kennel itself so today Ian and I installed it across the top of the doghouse that Patches climbs up on to jump out from. When Carol and I went for a walk today we put the dogs in the kennel and when we returned Patches was still inside though from the appearance of the thin layer of snow on the dog house roof it was obvious that Patch had gotten up there but was thwarted in his attempt to escape. This doesn't end the problem, at least not yet, we'll have to see.
Last night's movie was Shrek 3. Like it's predecessors, funny use of clinches and stereotypes. Tonight it's the second of the the first two NFL playoff games, two more tomorrow during which we'll duck out to attend a scout event with our Boy Scout Troop. All in all 2008 marches on.
