Sorry to hear that Blooie! Hope the dog is better and Kendra's session goes well. And hope you are able to get a nap in or some sleep tonight!
I was also up late. Went to bed around 1, didn't fall asleep till 2. Slept till maybe quarter to 5 or 5, had to pee anyway but tgen the stupid dog was freaking out at something. I went up and down the stairs a million times because every time I would get all the way up the stairs or finally in bed again, he would bark again! UGH! At 5 I did take him on a leash in the front to pee though. Didn't want to let him out back and risk him barking too early. So after that he was just being a pain. I could even hear him with ear plugs. Anyway, I finally tossed a bit of water on him after the third or fourth time. Maybe cruel but I was SOOO frustrated and tired and it was only a tiny tiny bit and mostly just the surprise that stopped him (I was behind the counter). I never do that but he shut up for a while after that though hah but then around 6 he started barking again but a different bark. I knew he probably needed to poop but he had been SO annoying I though he was just barking to be a pest. Anyway, long story short, he barked for a half hour or hour straight before I finally got sick of it and let him out around 7. Also didn't want to let him out too early. He pooped, sure enough, and came right back in. But then he started again a little bit, off and on. He's turning into a royal pain in the arse!!! But at that point, I was already awake. I tried going back to sleep a few times but then I got pain/IBS from the stress so I couldn't. So then I just stayed awake. And amazingly, my brother stayed sound asleep this whole time despite me going up and down the stairs 5 million times, in and out of the bathroom (opening and shutting door each time so the AC doesn't go in there), dog barking, etc. But he did also have a fan in his room and in the hall but still. I had the AC and a fan and still heard the dog so idk. He was tired. He finally rolled out of bed around 10:30 and was like "wow you're up early" LOL yeah... not by choice. I told him the story. He was like wow idk how I didn't wake up.
So I'm exhausted.
I did walk Libby today though and she was amazing so that's good.
