like i said before

tonight laika and i went on a long walk. we ended up at the hyatt and i took her for a ride in the "work van" because i had forgotten my laptop's wall adapter at the crown plaza anyway, so we went to get it. there was something about the van laika hated, because she became very shy and whiny riding in it. the few seconds i left her alone in there while i retreived my stuff just about killed me. she almost jumped out of the van window to follow me. i had to push her back and roll it up quick. after parking the van back at the hyatt, we walked back towards home, through triangle park, she argued with the water fountains, took a crap right on the concrete sidewalk (not so fun), and was wonderful with a gaggle of children who were excited to pet her. she sat sweetly with no jumping up and they laughed at how she licked and tickled their shins. i love this little demon. i thank god i have her in this moment. it's nice to know i'll never really be alone again, no matter what happens.
