Water Dog

So Ringo and I just got back from a stroll along the river at the India Point park down by the Brown Boathouse. The weather is just too pretty not to be outside.

I couldn't take any pictures because my camera ran out of batteries, but it was quite the scene. I learned that at heart, Ringo is a water dog. He stood valiantly on the big jetties overlooking the river and sniffed the fresh water air. He loved investigating all of the moss and algae on the rocks.

There was a little toddler girl playing with her mom and dad on the playground who came over to say hi to Ringo. Ringo was surprisingly well-behaved and let the little girl pet him without jumping around too much. He was quite patient. He got some three more admirers while we walked around.

Now he's curled up into a little ball next to me. I think we are going to take a little nap before pracy.

Sleep In

Ringo graciously let me sleep in until 7:50 this morning. I think he is a little puckered out from so much activity. He didn't even do his digger routine last night. He just curled up next to me and passed out.

We went on a walk and just got back. I FINALLY figured out his snout contraption, and it really does make for a far more pleasant walk.

Also, I think I am really tiring Ringo out. He fell asleep as soon as we walked in the door. Maybe I should chill out on the walks a bit...

Ploi, your email was highly amusing; I'm glad you guys had fun!

Off to class...

Happy Wedding!

P.S. - Whit & Ploi: I hope the wedding was so much fun! I want to see the pictures as soon as I possibly can. Maybe you can start a blog...

A Busy Evening Makes for a Tired Ringo

Leaving for pracy wasn't easy, but I succeeded.

I made it back around 9:30 with Kevin in tow and we watched an episode of The West Wing. Kevin and Ringo had a major bond session. Kevin tirelessly played tug of war and go-get-it with Ringo during the whole episode.

I took Ringo with me to drop off Kevin and we made a pit stop in Wayland to visit Emrod. Lindsay, Yadi, and Marod were all in Em's room, so Ringo got lots and lots of attention from so many rugby friends.

I left around 11 and stopped in my room to get my cell phone charger. Minjy, Mila, and Roman were all around and absolutely fawned over Ringo. When Mila found out he was hypoallergenic, she almost died. They cuddled and played and jumped around for a long while. The girls in the room next door then came over to see the commotion and oohed and ahhed over the little pup. Everyone made me promise to bring him back tomorrow so they could keep playing with him.

When we finally left around 11:30, Ringo was so tired he could barely move. Thank God for bedtime...

Naptime

Ahhhhh... We are asleep together on the couch. Ringo is lying on my tummy and breathing quietly. How do I get up and go to practice? I can't do it!

Love Him

I left for an hour to go to class, but when I got back Ringo acted like I had been gone for a decade.

We took a quick walk around the block and now I'm doing some work on the couch. Ringo is nestled on the couch cushion by the window. His head is resting on my shoulder.

Also, here are some pictures from this morning before Trina and I left for class. Note the second one in which Treens is actually talking to Ringo. In the third one, she is trying to tongue-kiss him... Wierdo.

Morning Constitutional

Some things I learned from our long morning constitutional:

1. The East Side of Providence is a busy place at 8:00 in the morning.
2. Ringo's poos are quite petite.
3. Ringo adores lifting his leg and letting about two drops off pee go on every tree, lamppost, and fire hydrant.
4. Ringo is a smeller. He likes to smell all things.
5. The apartment really is not that far from campus. Ringo and I walked all the way to Thayer Street and it didn't actually take that long.

That's all. Now I'm off to scramble Trina some eggs.
