Day 110

This didn't hurt Ozzy so much as it interrupted his biting spree.

I need to stop staying up so late.

Right now my dog is roughing up the towel in his kennel. It's his ritual when he gets a new towel to get it all balled up. For some reason he likes to sleep on top of the big lump that is created. For most people that kind of arrangement would cause a serious back problem, but he seems to love it.

Ok, let me introduce you to my dog. His name is Ozzy and according to his papers he is almost 3 months old. Ozzy is a Beagle complete with gumdrop nose and big soft ears. What sets him apart from most is that he is predominantly black. Most of the Beagles I come across are predominantly tan (or red as some seem to prefer). Oh yeah, the markings on his muzzle are assymetrical, which I honestly find really cool.

We've had him for a little over 3 weeks now. He seems to be getting bigger by the day. I didn't get to see the parents so I don't know if he will be a 13-inch or 15-inch Beagle, but I really don't care. When we picked him up his name was originally going to be Charlie, but I decided it was too close to Marley and I didn't want my dog to be associated with that movie in any way. For some reason the song "Crazy Train" popped in my head and our new puppy was dubbed Ozzy.

On Sunday we took him to the Millie Bush Bark Park in the west Houston area. He had a blast with the large area to run around, all the new dogs to meet, and all the people who lavished their attention on his cuteness. We had him in the small breed area as he was getting a little frightened of the large dogs in the general area. I plan on taking him again tomorrow as I plan on taking the day off.

Hopefully I'll have the pictures from the Amon Amarth concert up soon. I haven't really had a chance to process those as of yet. I went to the Commemorative Air Force air show on Sunday and was a little disappointed. It's not that it wasn't cool, I just expected a larger show. I didn't bother taking any pictures.

Well, at this point I'm almost 2 hours into day 111. I need to get some sleep. I bid all of you, my faithful and not-so-faithful readers a good night.

Here is a second photo to try to make up for my slacking.
