Project Poop Properly is encountering resistance.  After applying every dog-repellant substance known to, well, me, then enclosing that whole area with a low border fence, what does L do?  Just poop in the lawn adjacent to it, closer to the house!!  I mean, it works, if I could fence him out of the whole yard!

So part two of my evil plan will go into effect today: apply dog-attractant pheromone spray along the back fence where I want him to go, and I can keep it managed.  Plus I’ll leash him as if taking a walk, guide him to the preferred area, and treat him if he gets it right.  This better work!

I’m sure if you’re still reading, you won’t be for long at this rate!  A Blahg about dog poop!  Woo.

Other than this temporary setback, Loucious is a wonderful doggy friend.  Last night Avdi collapsed on the sofa with me and L between us, both giving him the belly rubs, and L was giving back the love.  Then I showed A how L knows each of us by name and will go running to find them if you ask him to.  A was very impressed.  We can’t say “Ebba” right now, because L is frustrated that he can’t find him!

The latest freeze appears to be over, and now it’s supposed to get warm again.  The poor flowers are all bedraggled-looking, but they’re resilient.  I’ve been bedraggled myself, for other reasons, but I’ll bounce back as soon as I can get back out there.

BTW, if you didn’t pick up on my title, I’m obsessed with Project Hail Mary!  I want to see that so bad!
