strike a pose there's nothing to it

i feel like i may have already used that title in reference to internet photos sometime... whoops. but i can't help it if our dog is the most photogenic one at the dog park.

about 3-4 weeks ago when we first brought jimmy the greek home, he was completely spooked by the mirrored closet doors at our place. like we'd wake up in the middle of the night to him quietly growling at the other dog in the room. after a couple of days though, he kinda just understood that it was nothing to worry about. until last night, when he decided he was creeped out again. this dog spent the entire night growling and barking at his reflection across the room. i feel so bad for josh, who had to be up at 5am to get ready for work. i always thought "no rest for the wicked" was just a phrase. apparently, not so much.

this morning i went for coffee with my sister michelle. we wanted to check out that coffee place across the street from park pantry, right? so we get some tasty coffee and pastries and sat at a table outside. about 15 minutes later two girls come by with their puppy. they get some coffee and sit at the empty table next to us. very friendly couple, one of them was wearing a rainbow necklace if you know what i mean. and their puppy looked just like jimmy so i ask what kind he is, and we just start chatting, and every time i say something i inadvertently use the word "we" meaning josh and i, right? like "oh we brought him home like 3 weeks ago," and "we're looking for good dog-friendly restaurants around town"... i slowly start realizing that they have no idea who josh is, and that the "we" refers to my sister and me as a couple. because long beach has a very large alternative lifestyle-like community.

we did what anyone else would do in that situation - when we finished our coffee, said goodbye, and threw our cups away, we put our arms around each other as we crossed the street to our cars. and said very quietly "dude, we're so gay now."
