Una has always been a prissy sort of dog. For example, she is not interested in dog poop like many dogs I know. She is however very interested in dead things. Dead birds, dead bugs, a place where something dead used to be; all of these things will put her into a frenzy of rolling and rubbing. She wants to rub the stinky, stinky death all over herself. Joe hypothesizes that she uses the smell of death and vengeance to strike fear into the hearts of other dogs. I just think it is gross.
..you wake up for school the time you normally leave... ..upon waking up late, you realize that you have a lab exam and need to dress up and look nice... ..look in mirror and notice left eye is all but swollen closed... ..you forget to eat breakfast... ..forget to brush your hair... ..you, in a hurry due to above problems, get stuck behind those people... ..you know the ones that feel that regulating your speed is some how their problem... ..forget to take allergy medicine... ..forget your notebook at home... ..fail (potentially) the easiest lab exam to date... ..come home to find your husbands car at home, rather than at work where it should be... ..fantasies about all the awful reasons that said car is home... ..come inside to find huge diarrhea explosion from dog, but no husband...
We are having a rough time here at the Martell apartment. My lovely husband woke up with pink eye and a mysterious sickness this morning and Una puked a few times.
As for me, I am staying away from the whole lot of them!
At first, having a job that allowed me to surf the internet all day was fun, until I ran out of ideas of things to look at. I would have research days, where for example, I would research all the serial killers I could think of. Or some days would spend hours watching movie previews on IMDB . I also have listed about three hundred books I have read on LibraryThing (which is fabulous). Because of our shared boredom, my coworkers and I, faced with nothing else to do, began finding increasingly tedious things on the internet to amuse our selves with. Which is the explanation for this:
Yes, that leads to the dog's web page... Not only does Una have one, but so do several of my coworkers' dogs and one of my coworker's cats on dogsters' sister site, catster. Maybe it is a good thing that tomorrow is my last day...
Despite it's ridiculousness, which I realize is glaring, I have got a few useful tips from the corgi group discussions page (oh yea baby, she is in a discussion group) and Una already has some internet pup pals (that, although written with the intent of being funny, is actually true). So, if you are bored, make your animal a website, and maybe Una will be their internet friend.
On to something a little more fun. If you are a fan of the Office, watch this amusing and well edited Office/Nelly music video:
Thats all for now!

I love my dog Una, don't let this post convince you otherwise but, I came to the realization today that the little snot might be more trouble than she is worth.
She has mostly grown out of the puppy phase and acts like a full grown dog. This includes no longer munching on our personal possessions out of shear boredom. Thus, we have been leaving her out to wander the apartment when we are gone rather than locking her in our kitchen as was our previous policy.
Today however, when I returned to the apartment, after a relatively short outing, I saw that she has nearly fully consumed the back cover of an anatomy textbook. Ugg. This lead me to reflect upon the things she has eaten since coming to live with us:
These items, paired with the countless pens, pencils, lip gloss cases, bottles of lotion, and various other sundries, adds up to hundreds of dollars worth of my stuff. I'm not sure that I was aware of this cost when I purchased the little brat!
(Babushka Una is coming for you!)
