It's A Beautiful Morning

Or, why you should always double-check yourself in the mirror before you leave the house. XD

About Today

I ended up calling the cable company once again, and they sent another tech out. Same one as yesterday, only this time they decided to replace the cable from the house to the pole. Naturally this meant he was in and out of the house, and my little dog was furious -- non-stop barking, combined with the full upper-lip snarling and growling and the neck hair raised. When I placed her on the couch to hold her by the harness, she kept dropping her head, which always indicates a readiness to attack. I hate to think what she would be like if she were a larger breed; otoh, I would probably find it easier to discipline her. But she is 9, and her age is more than her weight. Even her harness has been sized *way* down to fit her, there is more harness than dog, lol. She usually is pretty mellow but she did not like this guy, nor the one who came on Monday though he wasn't in the house as long. And really, it makes me feel better to know that even with her tiny size, she is intimidating to a stranger. Just because, y'know? At least all of the barking made her tired so that she has been dozing now.

*Sigh* I hope that this will fix things at last. The only good thing is that there have been several other similar problems reported in my area, which means it is not just me being weird and/or paranoid. I am now keeping a log of the times I am on/off-line and see if there is any sort of patten. Maybe it will help.
