Slow.

I've been tootling very slowly.  No second shower today.  I'm... just out of energy.  I did get the ducks in, and waterers in, plus cleaned and reset them.  Not much else.  I have been awake, hoping to get the shower in.  I just don't have it.  My hair is still clean.  I may have a bit of dried sweat, but... I just... can't shower tonight.  Too tired, worn, a bit sore, and needing sleep.

I do hope the ssd works.  If it does, I have been thinking about adding a dog to the crew.  I really thought about a german shepherd.  I have loved those dogs.  As well, I have been thinking about a herding dog.  Tonight, while trying to gear up to shower or gear down for sleep, I went looking for dogs of the herding sort.  Border Collies, I seem to have hit upon.  So... I... went to look at the breed generally, and training.

Ugh...  The pup might end killing me!  But, that is whyfor training.  Possible?  Probable?  Maybe.  I would have to go for walks twice a day.  I would have her indoors much of the day, though I would put her out a few times a day.  I would teach her to work the ducks.  Her?  I think so.  I just... trust females a bit more... for most breeds.

Anyway... It would be as much her teaching me, and me teaching her.  We would have to come to a sort of agreement, and she would have to learn to live with the girls... cats...  It... might be problematic, at times... but such is life.  I am only... considering this.  Only if my income were restored.  But a boy can dream.  Yea, I like the critters.  But even a shepherd would be demanding.  I'm not sure I'd want a dog that wasn't demanding?  It is that interaction which I crave, desire.

On the good side, if the dog was beyond me, I doubt I would have a difficult time finding her a more fitting home.  But the hope would be that she would help me as much as I help her.  Yes, dream.

Good night.
