In A Slump

School and school work has pretty much got me burnt out.  On mornings when I don't have class, I prefer to sleep until noon, which pretty much renders the day useless.  

So, as you can imagine, Marge and I haven't been doing much aside from walks in the neighborhood, in the field, and on the beach.  She's really loving the cold weather - her exercise needs are through the roof and it feels like almost every hour upon the hour she's asking to go out and do something.

Tonight, for the first time in a long time, Marge counter-surfed.  What was scary about this time was that she actually reached up to a loaf of bread that was at the back of the counter.  In the past, her food steals have been items left out and open right at the edge.  She tried to do it again, while I was in the room, but I clapped my hands and told her "off."  I think she thought it was funny, as she came over to me with ears back and tail swooping.  I just hope it doesn't become a habit - I'm thinking today it's due to the fact that she has not gotten enough exercise and mental stimulation this week.

I would have liked to take her to the park or something tomorrow, since we haven't been there in quite some time, but my father needed my car.  So, it looks like it'll just be another day in the neighborhood.

I'm hopeful that once I finish up with school (my last final exam is Thursday), catch up on sleep, and satiate my need for lay-around-and-do-nothing days, that we'll get back into the swing of things.

BTW, I think we're both really missing agility.  Tuesday nights feel so empty without my two hours at the field, and I'm not sure that indoor class is going to be all that fulfilling.  Maybe I'm just a pessimist, though.  Stay tuned to find out what happens on Monday during our first class.
