The past two weeks have been even more of a rollercoaster in my life than usual. Why, you ask? I got a DOGGIE!!! Yay :> Two weeks ago after meeting I drove from Waco to Bastrop to pick up my very own miniature Australian shepherd. When I got him his name was Tank, but that just didn't fit him at all, so I have since renamed him Porter Stanton Baker, and he has taken to the name quite happily.
Although Porter spent the first 24 hours tucked away cowering in his kennel, a visit from the dog whisperer Chelsea Allen helped to bring him out of his shell. By the next morning he had determined that I was his “person” and has become my new best friend. Throughout the past two weeks he has moved to the “big city”, gotten a new mommy, had surgery, learned how to pull all of the toys out of his backpack, and attempted to eat my Classical Mythology homework (No really, professor!).
Beyond getting a puppy dog, I am also learning to play jazz improv solos in my jazz combo. It is so much fun pushing my abilities in theory and on my clarinet. It is not, however, as fun for Porter, who doesn't love the high register on my clarinet! Either way, I am having a wonderful time with both my doggie and my music!
