Dog thoughts

I am beginning to think that the hairiest part of a dog is their neck. I gave Walter a bath the other day and decided this. I looked over my other dogs and decided that the neck was the thickest part of them for hair also. I can't decide what darwinian feature this is for, but it must serve some purpose. Unfortunately for dogs, this is also where fleas can easily hide in.

I also have to laugh at Walter when he sleeps. He was sleeping on my chest today while I was taking my daily nap and breathed rapidly almost the whole time. He also growls at things in his sleep and sometimes kicks his feet. I also snapped some pictures of him laying on his back with his feet up in the air when he is asleep. They will be on FB soon enough.

He is getting better about being outside in the snow but not quite good enough at jumping on couches yet. He technique is to sit back, propel himself up and forward, but not leave his back feet. If he would leave his back feet he would be way more successful. Most of the time he just lunges forward as if he was doing some ballistic stretch.

I also have some type of job interview coming up. One of my moms friends told her about a job/intern deal with a local ag company. I filled out an application and received an email today that I am eligible for one of two spots being offered. It didn't say that I was qualified, just eligible. I am not even sure what the job is at this point. It might not even pay anything. I have to make a call tomorrow to find more out. I would love to get a job of any type. I do have to worry about the farming lifestyle I have established. Dad and grandpa are so keen on doing things the hard way that they need a third person around for most of the summer. If I am away, that gets tougher for them. Sure, if I had a supplementary income I could buy some bigger and better equipment that might help them cut some time. I just don't know though. I am going to need more than what I make now if I ever start a family and want to pay off all my debts. I don't know if farming will allow me to do that.

I did buy my reds hat ticket package deal today. I am looking forward to going and now wonder how much it might cost me for an opening day ticket. I really don't want to go my whole life without ever being at an opening day. I really don't see a reason to put it off until old age either. The sooner I can make that happen, the better for me.
