Today was a weird day. I spent lots of time with Rudy, and I realized, I never have enough time or energy to spend quality time with him. He needs a lot of work. And lots of love. The work... well, it's a work in progress.
The love, yes, that's also a work in progress too. He doesn't like to be hugged. He growls if we hug him. And if we pet him or crowd him the wrong way when he's not in the mood, he growls. He's high maintenance, because the reverse side of it, is that he doesn't like to be left alone outside or in a room when we are somewhere else. He whines this high pitched whine like he's in danger or something.
But, we had a first today. I was trying to rip the broken screen off the door, and Rudy was crowding me. So, I pushed him away with my hip, and I might have inadvertently pushed his head against the door frame. He looked a little stunned, but not hurt. I felt really really bad. I bent down to pet him, and he seemed fine, then he licked my face. I have never let him lick my face. He's such a dirty dog. He eats shit and dirt and bugs and dirty napkins and licks the floor. But I hurt him and I felt bad and I apologized, and he licked my face. What a good doggie.
Anyhoo, on a totally different subject, I dropped my iphone for the first time today! It was a horrible feeling. That's what I get for using the iphone while driving (at a stoplight mind you) and then setting it on the seat next to me and forgetting it was there. When I got out of the car, it tumbled out onto the ground. Luckily, I had that big bulky lifeproof case on it. I'm not sure if it would have faired quite as well with the cool smaller and slender transparent purple case. It might have been okay, but it fell face side down. :( I hate myself for doing something stupid like that. I should know better by now, since I've had to live with myself for almost 39 years now.
