Early Morning

This morning I got up at 7am to take my dog out for a walk before it got too hot, and I discovered that it was already getting hot at that time. Seriously, that does suck in so many ways, since it really limits my ability to activate my dog properly. When it's too hot she doesn't even want to go outside, which is understandable. I think soon I will have to schedule to wake up and take her out at 6am.

A little while ago I walked into my room and found her sleeping on my bed, and I realized how big she has grown! It's funny how I haven't really noticed. Well, she's not exactly tall since her back reaches me to my knee more or less, but she is very long. When she stretches out, like right now on my bed, she basically takes up my whole bed! I have no idea how I fit in there with her every night..!

I wish I had a car so that I could drive over to D.C myself this summer. That way I would have been sure that we would actually be able to get there, and I wouldn't have had to be so dependent on others. Unfortunately though, I don't have a car, and renting a car PLUS pay for gas prices would be way more expensive than I can afford. Too bad. The girl who said she'd be up for the drive seems cool, but now since I haven't heard from her in a couple of days I am starting to worry again. It seems almost too easy, and I am just waiting for her to tell me that she can't/won't do it, or that she will simply stop replying. What do I do? Should I surrender and just book a flight ticket? I still feel really hesitant about the idea of flying my dog though, especially since there would be a lay-over somewhere along the way. I would be a nervous wreck, and I would worry that she would be left outside in the sun while waiting to be loaded onto the plane and things like that. There are just so many things that could go wrong. This whole plan with finding a ride by car to D.C is risky too, however, since there is no guarantee that the person that is to take me will live up to his/her promises, or that something won't happen at the last minute which would end up cancelling the trip.
