First day home alone with the new baby.

Poor baby. We were out for a walk when this ass-wipe (pardon my totally appropriate use of a naughty word) on a moped saw that Toby was afraid of the noise. So what did this ass-wipe (whoops, there it is again) do? He went around in circles in front of us causing the dog to totally freak out, break out of his harness (HOW I do not know) and bolt for the door. Luckily one of the kids was coming out and the door was open. Luckily too he went towards the door, not down the street. Anyway, he bolted into the door and hid under the kitchen table. I coaxed him out and snuggled him but at this point the damage was done. I tried to take him out a bit later and he wouldn't go out the front door at all. He wouldn't get within feet of it actually. In a moment of genius I took him out the back door. He did go potty then, at least that's good, but the kids on the big-wheel bikes had him just as freaked. Now, as I type, he's freaking out about the kids playing upstairs. I know he'll be ok. He's missing his dude master, Neall, I can tell. He keeps going upstairs to sniff Neall's pillow, then looks around the house a bit for him, then gives up and lays on my feet.

I want to kill the dude on the moped. I don't think I've ever seen him before. They had just delivered this enormous recycling trash can that I still have yet to figure out what it's all about (everyone got one). I think the moped guy was with them. I could kill someone with anger. I was primarily concerned with the dog but if that guy had stuck around he'd be a few parts short. I am seriously livid and the adrenaline is still coursing through me.

I discovered a training treat though. Potato Chips. He LOVES them, even to go so far as to steal the bag off of the table. He completely ignored the pork steaks I left out to test him. But the potato chips, those he went for. Odd, lol. Maybe he likes salty stuff?

All in all it hasn't been too bad. If it weren't for totally stupid people who like to torture dogs this day would have been good.
