On my Own
So I'm officially on my own for the rest of the week. My little Peak-a-nator has gone back home. :-( As glad as I am that my mom and Bill are back, I am really sad without the little pooper-scooper.
For the first two nights, she slept on the bed. Width-wise, forming an H with her body and mine and Seymens. :-) After night two of a dog snoring in our faces, and breathing in dog hair, we decided that Peak was getting kicked off the bed...So for the next three nights she slept on the couch. I would wake up in the morning and she would wake up. She'd come into the bedroom, and standing next to the bed, wagging her tail, she would shake the shit out of the bed :-) Once I was up and at 'em, we'd have our morning dance around the kitchen while I prepared her breakfast. After a very QUICK run outside (it was too cold even for her to enjoy staying outside), we would retire to the office...Where I would turn on my heater, close the door (so the entire house didn't need to be heated) and sit in my chair with a blanket on my lap. (can you tell that I'm always COLD?) LOL Anyway...I made a cute little bed for Peak next to my desk, but she didn't like that. Instead, she enjoyed going under my desk, and laying on top of my feet, stealing my blanket :-).
This would continue all day long. Basically, she was my shadow. If I got up to grab something off the bookshelf, Peake would get up to walk with me to the bookshelf. If I got up to go check the mail, Peake would get up to go check the mail. If I got up to go to the bathroom, Peake would get up and go to the bathroom...can you see a pattern here?
Well all that would end once Seymen got home. Peake would ditch me completely and then follow Seymen around for the rest of the night. If Seymen was sitting on the floor trying to fix an outlet, Peake would be sitting on the floor with some part of her body touching Seymen.
But now...this morning, I woke up with no one to talk to as I got ready for the gym. When I came home, I opened the door and didn't hear the sweet little scraping of her nails running across the hardwood floor to greet me as soon as I opened the door...and now I'm sitting in my office, with no little Peakers at my feet. Booooooooooooo...I think I"m in mourning. SOmething is definitely off today...I already hit my head on a sharp edge on my gym locker...I now have a bump the size of an egg on my head.
I think it's just going to be one of those days...where I have to get used to being alone...Thank god I'm going to San Jose on Monday for a week...Otherwise I might just go crazy!!
