The Pitter-Patter of Little Feet...

 

The band?  No, that's Little Feat - this is feet.  Four of them.  No, we did not get another feline.

Steph and Dan were gone overnight - they made a run to California to pick up another Guide Dog for the Blind puppy.  I have been kitty-sitting (and feeding) while they were gone.  All good here on the home front.

I got a text from Steph today with the Check In app, telling me that they would be home around 4:35.

Joan and I went out for lunch around 1:30, in between kitty feeding - our two and their three are on different schedules.  And sure enough, right at 4:25 I got the "we have arrived home" notice.

As I went into their house from the side door, Steph was coming in from the front door... with a bundle wrapped in a towel.  "Can you hold her?  I have to use the bathroom.  Right now!"

When Steph came out, she unwrapped the puppy to show me.  Yep, she is puppy cute.  "Now, the puppy needs to pee."  Unfortunately, a heavy rain broke out just as Steph was coming in the door.  So, she had to wait for a bit for the rain to pass before taking the new puppy outside.  Dan took over...


 Cute, huh?  The puppy.  Some would call Dan ruggedly handsome rather than cute.  But, I digress.  The puppy's name is Natalia.  She is going to be called Natty (I may be spelling that wrong).  Another puppy raiser is going to take her for a couple months to get her trained enough that Steph and Dan can take her to work; Steph will have that raiser's puppy (Vinnie) during that time.

My kitty-sitting is done - I am off the clock now.

Earlier today, I got some good guitar time in.  Working in my music room, I tried out several different effects pedals with the new guitar.  Two hours went by quickly.  Still in the "honeymoon phase" with the guitar and the new amp.
