Gone to the Dogs
Oct. 25th, 2009 04:35 pmSo, Thursday night, me and my Mom went to my aunt's house to spend the night, since we had to get up early to go work at the dog agility competition.
We got up at 5:30 AM. Whoo. One of her dogs forgot we were there and growled at me and Mom on the couch. XD Once she realized what was going on, she came to visit with all the others and their cold feet from going outside. XD
It took us a while to get to the arena. On the way there, my aunt called her boyfriend and put him on speakerphone, so we all chatted and he put his cranky dog on and it growled. XD
The arena place was a lot like the barn we used in the horse class. It had more seating and an upper level. I'm not sure which one was longer, because the horse one felt like FOREVER LONG when you're carrying an armful of heavy saddle. XD What made it more amusing was that last week there was a horse show there, so it still smelled horsey. XD
My job was to sit and pick up any of the jump bars if the dogs knocked them over. I also helped get what I could set up of the ring when they changed things around. If they didn't have someone else doing it, I would take the leash from the beginning to the end. It wasn't too bad, and we got paid and a free lunch. XD It was a long day though, and the photographer got in the way, so I had to walk around a little more to avoid him. >_> And once I was sent all by myself to get a table, and it turned out to be solid metal and heavy. X_X I waddled with it by putting it on one of my feet and holding it and taking a step at a time. One guy helped me get it on the elevator, and another guy saw me at the bottom and just took it himself. XD
It was fun watching the dogs and I'd get to pet them sometimes and play with them a little. So many of them were so cute and had adorable personalities. ^_^ Sometimes there'd be nothing I could do, so I'd go off and see what dogs were around. <3 I really loved the Shelties, they were soooo cute! The Border Collies were adorable too, and they were really funny in the ring, sometimes their owners would sit or lie them down and walk a distance before they started, so some of the dogs would stick their butts in the air and some would scoot along the ground while their owner's back was turned. XD They really, really wanted to go and run. XD
We were sooo tired and sore at the end of the day, so at my aunt's house, we ordered pizza. Domino's wouldn't deliver there, so we went with Pizza Hut instead. Out of 4 things, only 1 was really right. X_X We ordered a supreme pizza for my Mom and aunt, and that was okay. Me and Mom had a cheese stuffed crust pizza, except that the cheese was supposed to be in the crust, but it wasn't, it was in front of the crust. X_X I ordered breadsticks, but I got their funky cheese sticks instead. X_X Mom ordered a half order of the chocolate dunkers, but they gave her a full order. XD I guess that wasn't so bad. XD
So, we went to bed early and got up at 5:30 again. Whee.
Did the same thing on Saturday, just helped with whatever needed helping with. ^_^ I got to rest a little bit more, because someone else was doing the leash running for a while. It was fun, but hard work.
Me and Mom talked to my aunt for a while, then left. Mom went and picked up some food at Popeye's, but I was too sore and tired to eat. XD
Me and Mom each made $190, and we're going to spend it all at Sugoicon next weekend. XD We have enough for the hotel room and gas and food and some stuff from the vendor room. ^_^ We also have a bit of other money that we were saving for it. ^_^
At home, Dad got home a little bit later than us, he had gone to the zoo and volunteered at their Halloween event.
We watched Bleach, it was pretty good, though Dad got bored during the Kaien and Rukia flashback, so I had problems hearing most of it. XD Kaien's voice bugs me, and I'm not sure why. It seems to fit him, but it just sounds...funky or something...maybe kinda like a cowboy. XD
Ohhhh, I wanted to sleep in, but I woke up still sore with the added bonus of cramping. X_X
After we ate and I took some medicine, I felt better, but still not enough to go and volunteer at the zoo. Mom told me I should stay home. XD
They'll be gone for a while, so I'll have the house to myself. I wanted to play a game on the TV, but I don't really even feel good enough for that. >_> Every time I think about Metroid, my hand starts hurting. XD I need to finish Pikmin 2, also.

Hmmm, really considering making a Byakuya account. Keep thinking about Captain Nelliel. Also wondering about Ryuuken a little.
