I suppose with Spock's passing that the huge void he left had to be filled. Thani has taken over the yard (as mentioned in a previous post) and Griffin has somehow weaseled his way inside the house. Not sure how this happened but he was enjoying life free in the main dog yard so well that I couldn't help but bring him in the house in the morning after he calls me from the gate.And then hes started kissing up to James... how these dogs know what to do I have no idea! James is always the last hold out to any rule and those who succeed know which 'boss' to butter up. I'm already a softy having them inside but if James says its okay its a done deal!
I'm still not sure if Griffin will be inside permanently but hes so darn sweet that I cant imagine him not being in here all the time. Time will tell what our new arrangement will be while Griffin gets more and more used to the indoors.
I remember back when he was only a few months old and I would sneak him into our little house (the same rental we just sold). James and I had just gotten together then and dogs were still kind of a sensitive issue (though hes always been a softy). Griffin used to love our time indoors and I used to be so torn when he had to go back outside. He and I have had an intense bond since his birth (much like his dad Mercury) and its been heavenly to share my life with him.
Time will tell what our final arrangement will be. Part of me is torn that Mercury is not the one inside but it is tough to share space with a professional bed jockey that Merk is! Especially this week when James and I have both been sick. The days have passed by so quickly and I have felt so behind in work. Oh well, what can you do... when the body says no one better listen or else suffer worse down the line.
