Winterland is closing...

Boo! So bummed! But then again, I guess I shouldn't really be surprised. The location is not ideal. The neighborhood itself is quite nice but it's just a place for such an innovative restaurant.

We went there for Auntie Lonnie's birthday back in March. It was FABULOUS! Food and service was top notch. The only low point was that the place never got more than 5 tables of service the whole evening (I think it was a Wednesday or Thursday night). That was a sign, no?

Bitch Slapped!

2 #1's; 1 #2; 1 bitch slap

Started out as a nice enough morning.

Ginger was very good on our walk this morning. Too bad it was a short walk b/c I woke up later than I should have and I really had to be "on time" for work today.

While "working" for her breakfast, she refused to do the "bow" I had nicely asked her to do. Instead she gave me attitude and jumped on me! That bitch! (well, this really isn't name calling since she really is a bitch!) Too bad I wasn't fast enough to grab her so I had to chase her down. Man, she's fast! I was PISSED! I finally grabbed her by the rear leg, which immediately made her go in the "down" position. I gave her a little smack (don't worry, it probably didn't hurt her as I pat her on her back/side much heartier and she loves it) and when I got hold of her collar I made her lie on her side to "submit" to me. I actually had to take a seat on the stairs while I calmed myself down b/c I was SO mad (and probably tired after chasing her down). Once we both calmed down, I made her do a couple of easy tricks (probably a wave and a shake), we made up and then I let her eat her breaky. Aaahhh! Life with an adolescent dog!
