Taken over by a Dog


I came back from the technology and ministry event in Cable last September fired up to do more blogging to hone my writing skills, but the puppy that was waiting as a surprise at home has consumed all my spare time. I know he will grow into a regular dog and other priorities will emerge. Now, however, he is at that adorably cute puppy stage.
Whenever I am at my computer he is only a few feet away and needs to be monitored constantly. Last week the temptation for him was the tab-top drapes in the living room. He kept trying to open and close them with his teeth. This week it is paper -- crackly white sheets of it snatched off my desk or any table top. So far nothing important has been destroyed, but no paper out in his sight is safe. He chews on sticks out in the yard and that is fine, but this week he has decided that the rungs on the wooden kitchen chairs are just as good for chewing. He'd rather chew on a rubber door stop than his toys.
This will pass. For now, the puppy is all I am writing about.
