Melanie: Your local dog wrangler

I want to be an expert who appears on CBS Sunday Morning. I love the way their pieces are written and edited on that show. Thus I want to be one of their experts who appear in a segment.

So two *more* of my teeth have been hurting and because they're hurting the same way, I have a feeling that means I'll have to get 2 more root canals. Which sucks, because it would be on the roof of my mouth and the shots to numb that up hurt like a motherfucker. I mean, just thinking about it hurts my mouth. Shots in the cheek or on the bottom part of my mouth don't hurt as much as the roof. I actually screamed when I got my last root canal when they put the shot in. Matt heard me scream in the waiting room. Eep.

Dad is back from Japan. I made him a welcome home sign when I went to pick him up at the airport. He really seemed to like it. He got lots of cool Hello Kitty stuff for me. :D Very fun.

I tried to help wrangle some dogs that were loose in the neighborhood today. They had collars and tags on, so I wanted to get them so we could see where they belonged and call their owners. But the dogs kept running away from me. I followed them for a while down the street, but they really didn't want to be caught, so I eventually gave up. I just hate dogs getting loose in our neighborhood because we live on such a busy street and cars drive too fast around here. :( But they finally got off our street and went into some of the back streets and that's where I left them. If I hadn't had to cross the street I would have used Zoe to lure them to me, since she's such a friendly dog.

It just makes me sad to see dogs walking around, obviously not at home. I know how sad I was when Lucy ran away the first night we got her. I definitely don't think she'd run away now, but if she did, oh crap. I would be even worse than I was that first night.

Speaking of Lucy she's now pushing up against me. I better go get to pettin her cause she won't stop!
