Settling down

Been a while since I updated my journal.....

I finally feel like I am settling down in both the new job and the new environment.  I think I've been a lucky pup over the past few weeks to have made good friends - and to have a partner to send me love all the way from the east coast.  I do miss him, but in two weeks I'll be making my way there for some catching up on snuggles and play.

I had a fellow pup friend come visit me from Dublin, Ireland... felixkatz.  It was good to finally meet him face to face (nose to nose? :  )  We shopped and did some photography and hottubbed and snuggled and played video games and talked about stuff that pups usually talk about, like the meaning of life and quantum physics and our favorite doggie treats : P.  Had a great time with him.  I wish we could have spent more time together, but imand skype will have to do for now.

Here's one of the photos I took:


I have another pup friend, Spike, who I met when I moved here.  I learned from him today that his father had just passed away :  (    I can't say that I know what it is like to lose someone I love since I have not yet gone through that kind of loss, but I feel for him nonetheless.  He'll be visiting this weekend, and I'll try to help him through some of his grief.

Speaking of quantum physics and death...  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_immortality
