"Planes crash." "And clowns kill, apparently!"
So we have another puppy for the night. Who's... not so much a puppy as a fully grown terrier (I'm thinking soft-coated wheaten terrier, or some kind of mix, not that it really matters) who wandered by our apartment twice, having gotten away from the person who found him earlier, the second time with an injured paw. And the Hillsborough County humane society only accepts strays from one to five PM, Monday to Friday, so we kind of have to keep him until then. (And if we don't have a car by then, I really fucking hope they do pickups, because otherwise we're screwed.)
Ace is acting like it's THE END OF THE WORLD. She's usually okay with other dogs, but he is IN HER HOUSE being PETTED BY HER MOMMY. We can't lock either of them in the bathroom because they both cry, and Ace won't leave him alone - he's not aggressive, but he very much does not want hyperactive puppy, and snaps at her if she gets too close to his face, which she keeps doing. So we've got her tied to the couch by me. She'll lay down for a little while, and then CRY because she can't get to Evie. Big drama queen.
We may not get sleep tonight. This doesn't really bother me, except that Ace is really annoying when she won't shut up. Also, once we've moved, I am going to find a way to deal with her separation anxiety. And, you know, socialize her with other dogs, which is pretty much impossible around here, lacking a car and all. I love my puppy, but she's kind of crazy.
