I have been busy with finals this past week, so I am just getting caught up . . . But when I read Tom Barney's story, I am about to cry. Alexander has been very, well, not lethargic, just laying in his hammock all day. When I pass by, he perks up, I know he wants out. But I don't have time. Its always something. Laundry. School. Work. Medical problem (personal). Something. After reading Tom's story, I have decided to go home and do nothing (well, I have to eat) but play with Alexander. I am going to give him as much play time (just him and me) as I possibly can. Also, I am going to give him more play time with Roxana. They are getting along better, by the way. She poops when they first start to go at it, but after that she seems fine. It is hard to tell whether they are actually getting along or not. I think they are still going through the dominance thing. He will jump her, and then walk away like he has done his job. Then she jumps him. He seems depressed a little when they are both out together. I kinda think he wants to be friends and "cuddle" with her, but she won't let him. Whenever he just sniffs her, or tries to get close without attacking, she jumps him. I don't know. Guess I will just keep working on it. Hee, hee! You should have seen it the other night. They started fighting, and the dog (a big, black, furry, half lab, half chow) decided to break it up!!! She got right up and went over to where they were. They saw this big black thing with a purple tongue standing over them, and stopped in mid-fight to see what she wanted!!!! IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya.
