soooo tired....

today was the first day of a hip hop special event at the school. 5 days of fairly intensive hip hop dance training and mentoring for the kids. i decided to join the sessions instead of planning time - it is so much fun. i'm going to be sore by the end of it, though.

it's three weeks since the puppies were born, and fiona has moved them out of the cardboard box and into the larger doghouse area. i wonder how she did it... dogs don't carry puppies in their mouths the way cats do. probably she just lay down on the edge of the box to break it down, and then nudged them over the wall, one by one. fi's taken to preferring her meals outdoors again, as opposed to coming inside to chill with me.

another dog story is that nalu followed me to the grocery store this evening. she was so good - she stayed right with me, and crawled under the steps of the store while i went inside. when i came out, i just called her and she wiggled out and walked me home. it was the strangest thing. she has uncanny car sense, too. she walks to the edge of the road, looks both ways, and then crosses. back in k-town, i remember one time she got away from me, and she took off down the driveway towards a very busy street, stopped sharp at the road and turned 90 degrees to run up the sidewalk. she's almost more controllable offleash.

i'm really getting a kick out of this hip hop thing. i'll tell more about it tomorrow.
