Summer Program
Aubrey has a new summer intern. My mom got a new puppy this morning from our friends at Midwest Beagle Rescue (that's just an expression -- we don't actually hang out with these people) and she is settling in at our place for the summer. I know that Aubrey is looking forward to delegating some of her less complex tasks, like napping and licking her own butt, and perhaps she'll even branch out into some challenge projects, like eating unfortunate amounts of currency. Either way, we're of course looking to make this experience as much like the real work of being a beagle as possible.
We were a little bit concerned because people keep telling us how puppies are "so much work," but she's pretty much slept since she got here. There was a brief window where she was wandering around and biting at her feet, but other than that it's been straight Zzzzs. Of course, I'm not pretending this will last forever; we have stocked up on chew toys and more piddle pads than are necessary for just your average weekend. I would not call it work, though, as so far no one has offered to pay me for it.
