10. i have a giant pup who is making it tough for me.

technically, he is DH's dog. but he is the family dog, and i feed them all, and spend all day with them, so....
beside, we have a special thing, him and me. but he is 100 lb, 2 years old, sweet, but dog aggressive. he started off fine, but at adolescence got the idea that the biggest threat to his family were these dogs that are always trying to get in his back fence, he thinks.
i have been struggling with carpal tunnel all summer, so the cure for this- long walks and casual contact with other dogs, has been, well, painful. i feel so guilty. i feel so bad.
but i am cleared up enough to walk him wearing my hard splints. now if i can just find the time and energy, we're good.

i hate when people judge you by your pets. i have a couple neighbors that think i am just a lazy, selfish jerk because my dogs have scared them. waaaaaaaa.
