ROW80 Round 1/Wk 1 Midweek Check-In

Just a quick ROW80 midweek check-in.  I'm on track with my writing goal of 200 words a day.  

Here's the breakdown:
Monday - 522 words
Tuesday - 516 words
Wednesday - 421 words

My plan is to keep with the goal of 200 words a day as my minimum.  I'm happy that I've already passed my goal for the week of 1,400.

On a side note, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning.  Why is this exciting or worth mentioning, you ask?  Because my dentist's office is a pet friendly office.

And, I'll be showing off my beautiful Bella tomorrow.  Phoebe will not be joining us because I'm afraid of what she might eat before I could stop her.  She will put anything in her mouth!  Bella was like that at 8 months old, too.  


I wish more places were pet friendly. :)

I wish some pet owners didn't have to wreck it for everyone else.... I mean, if you knew your dog was not trained, and snapped at people and other dogs, would you bring it around?? Some people are just dolts. And it's not even people trying to socialize their dog, because all they do when the dog (usually one of the "fighting" breeds) lunges forward with a huge snarl is yank it back and yell at it and then drag it along so they can finish their shopping. Yeah, that's helpful... Some people shouldn't be allowed near animals... But anyway, I'm sure if that didn't happen all the time, more places WOULD be pet friendly. Or if people would actually clean up after their dogs. I can understand a "mine" here or there, but sheesh. You should still be able to walk! People can just be so selfish and it ruins it for everyone else.

OK, sorry about the rant. Just got up. ;)

Glad to see you are doing so well with your goals!! I'm very excited to read the final product. :) And good luck at the *gulp* dentist tomorrow. Can I tell you, I've been afraid of the dentist since I was like 6?

Way to go with reaching up and over your goals! I love seeing that sort of progress, especially early on in a ROW80 round.

You are an inspiration!

Mel, I agree. You need to know your pet's personality and also how well they do in public situations. Bella is so easy-going, that those things aren't an issue for me but I know what you're talking about and they can turn into serious issues. I've actually encountered more problems with smaller breeds than the larger ones that are considered fighting breeds. Bella is also a golden retriever and they're known for their gentle nature. I wouldn't bring Phoebe because she's still a pup and learning. Again, the onus back on the owners where it should be. The not cleaning up after your dog is just disgusting!!!! I don't understand that at all.
Our dentist trip went great. My dentist rocks. She had a bowl of water, treats, a blanket and a toy ready for Bella. How awesome is that?! Then I swung by my old job and saw a few of my friends. Turned out to be a really nice day. I normally hate the dentist and I still hate when I have to sit in that chair. Gives me the shivers.

Julie, thank you so much for saying that! It gives me a boost to keep going. It's other writers, like you, that inspire me.

Good luck to both of you!
