Dog Tales, June 6

Today is day 10 of Samba’s heat cycle. Up through yesterday I thought we might be able to get away with the 3 dogs not being separated this time. Samba went to class and did fine, and she was acting pretty normal around her siblings all day.

But then this morning as I sat down to work, I hear Samba come walking down the hall putting out a series of low growls, followed by a big old goofy Wallace not heeding the growls at all. So right then I put Samba in the bedroom and got ready for a week of separation. She is clearly acting differently then yesterday, and I can tell she is very uncomfortable, poor thing. I guess it is a good thing we withdrew from the Moore County KC agility trial this weekend. That could have been a huge disaster. 

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of two happier people

So I don’t forget how I did this later…

I prefer the li…

I prefer the little loves. My best friend’s daughter running around the kitchen chanting, “It’s all rainbows,” over and over again. The wag of a dog’s tail when you scratch the sweet spot behind her ear. Neglected nuances, subtle sincerity — that’s where love lives. Lost in a pile of unmatched socks, it sits and waits for you, overlooked and underappreciated.

The Moderately Enthusiastic Programmer | Virtuous Code

There is a part of me that is genuinely fearful of the effect on my future hire-ability, when I admit the following: no, I will not be passionate about your product. I will be professional about it. I may even be excited about it, if it happens to be something that I think is neat-o cool. I may have a ton of fun building it. But that doesn’t really matter. You’re not hiring a Juliet to your project’s Romeo. In the final analysis, you’re exchanging goods for services.

I’m an enthusiastic and conscientious programmer. I really hope that’s enough.
