Yeah - this weekend is gonna suck. Wet socks.
Let me see if I can explain. Now, you know how I work my way into a story, twistin' and turnin' til I eventually get to the point. Yeah, that's pretty much how this is going to work - I'm just sayin.
I've mentioned on several occasions how very small my home is. Ok - not home, abode. Small doesn't cover it. But it works. Add to that I'm not thrilled with the area, and the fact that it's not secure (problem locking doors and keeping critters out) and, well, it sucks.
So I've been looking for a new place. It's very high on my list of "must do's". Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a place to rent that will let you have a dog? Holy Cow.
Also - Cody is a very energetic puppy. He's not small by any means and just loves to run. He is so cramped in this place - it's kinda sad.
Also - I'm gone 12 hours (min) a day during the week. He's 9 months old. Again, not all that small. AND trapped in a pen all day.
That all adds up to the right thing being finding a new home for Cody.
On the off-chance I asked one of the girls at work if she knew anyone that would love, treasure and appreciate a puppy such as mine. (**side note: if I were a dog - it would be Cody. He has my personality. He talks, runs, gets in your face...yeah - he's me.) Well, shit. She did. We emailed pictures and they fell in love. They have 3 boys and a nice sized house, yard and are really "dog" people.
I'm taking him to meet them today. Unless something goes horribly "wrong" I'll be taking him back over there tomorrow morning and leaving him.
Leaving him.
Leaving.
You can pretty well bet that I will be posting some sappy, emotional "tribute" to my baby tomorrow. Yeah, that's pretty much a given. I'm just sayin'......
So today I'm playin' with my boy. Trying to squeeze in a few more memories. He knows something is up. He's being very cuddly and sweet. I'm alright with that. Very much so.
Anyway - it's gonna be a whiney weekend in Tammi's world. Just a bit of real life forcing it's way in.
