Wow, it has been a long time. I had almost forgotten that I had a blog. I think this stems from several factors. First, I have been ridiculously busy with 247+Cadre, and second I did not have a subject to write on. Without that I feel lost and unfocused and I am unable to desire writing enough to actually write a blog consistently. So, here I am writing (again, without a subject) because I am bored. Bored writing is no writing as I always say (I made that up just now).

Upon awakening this morning I was greeted by the sight of a very large nose. This belonged to my dog, Xander. Xander, despite not obeying much of anything we tell him, is very good at waking people up. We just have him follow us to the room of the person we desire woken, and then tell him to "Go get him..." or "Stick your nose in his face..." or "Lick him Xander..." or "Jump on him..." or "Bite him..." or any of a thousand other wordings. At that point he will walk over to the bed being pointed to and stick his nose into the face of the person in question. This morning that person was me. If he is petted he will stay nearby and let you continue, if not petted he will turn to look at the person who issued the order and then, if he receives encouragement he will continue, if they are not there he will leave to follow them some more. Then I went shopping with my family and got some socks and running shoes, came home and wrote this blog. What a great day. ^_^
