Cry bag

Soooo... we're back after a short hiatus. Thatch had writers block and I had a crazy hectic work schedule. He wanted me to tell everybody that he now likes to play with other dogs and he's very curious of cats and thinks that they want to play with him. Last week he was trying to get one of the cats to play with him and he ended up with a new scar on his ear. Apparently he didn't learn his lesson because he still tries to make the cats chase him and he chases the cats in return. Crazy little man. Thatch says he is still working on getting back in shape... me too Thatch, me too.

I can't post any new photos right now because our computer isn't set up yet. But when we get everything set up I've got some videos to show everybody how big Thatcher is now (and what a whiney boy he is). As for me... I've gone back to day shift but can't decide if I want to stay there or go to nights when I'm finished with this. I suppose they both have their pros and cons, but I think the most important thing is working with people I can stand to be around for 12hours a day for multiple days in a row!

Don't think that Thatch isn't doing anymore crazy shenanigans, because he TOTALLY is. I gave him one of his Christmas presents early because all of his things are still packed. So it was this non-stuffed animal and he adores it. The first few days he babied it and would just toss it around and want to lay it on my lap or if i was laying down he would lay it across my face. Well all that's over and now he had ripped his baby in half and doesn't even try to keep the 2 halves together. I woke up this morning with the head end of it in my bed under the covers and Thatch had the tail end in his crate. What a good parent he is to this new baby.

He is in the habit of throwing a tantrum when he wants out of his crate. He's just like a little kid. He will stamp his feet on the plastic flooring of his crate and drag his foot so it makes a scraping noise and then he will punch the cage wall with his hands so it makes a horrible rattling noise. This is usually early in the morning or late at night. Occasionally I'll let him sleep in bed with me... but sometimes he's such a bed hog and he sleeps in the middle of the bed and I can't pull the sheets out from under him! What a fatty. I haven't weighed him in a long time but i think he's about to hit a growing period because he's starting to look like skelataur again and he has crazy long legs but his torso is still the same length! I think he's gonna end up being a very big boy. He weighs 60 pounds already!

Oh... and let me tell yall about this fool at dinner time! Hahahahaha. He's such a diva. I mix his dry food with canned food and try to stir it all together so that there are no dry pieces. But if I don't do a good enough job he lets me know because he will use his nose to scoop EVERYTHING out of his bowl that he doesn't feel like eating. And he's such a SLOB! He will carry food in his mouth and try to chew and walk at the same time and so I can always tell where he's been because there is a trail of slobbery dog food all through the house. What a cleanly little guy he is. :/

Ok that has to be all for now because we have to go to the post office and send a few packages out!
