Where does the time go???

Today is our 4 year anniversary. CRAZY!!! I'm not sure where the time goes, but I know it goes quickly. We celebrated pretty moderately, because we're looking forward to our trip to Spain and Italy in a couple weeks. I left him a card out this morning, he had one for me when I got home from work. Then, we walked to a new-to-us Mexican food restaurant for dinner. He just got back in town today, so honestly we just felt lucky to be together.

We're adjusting quite nicely to our new apartment and town. I love that stretchy pants are the norm, even if it means everyone else is a work-out-aholic. I also love that we can walk to EVERYTHING. Last night, I walked to Papyrus to get Chris a card (and took Gunnar in, which was weird) and then to the bank. Did I mention I was in my stretchy pants? :) The weather is also fantastic, and we are both loving our new jobs. So far, so good.

At least for the human family members, that is. Gunnar... not quite normal yet. Before I arrived, you know from reading the previous blog, he whined and cried like crazy. Now that I'm here, his new thing is shredding stuff. We have yet to figure out how he manages to get on the kitchen counter to shred the recycle bag and the sponge (each on different days). I'm tempted to webcam him one day to get to the bottom of it. Not to mention, his potty manners are less than polite. As you can see from below, he doesn't understand modesty. I wish he did.

The situation:
I finished my morning run and took Gunnar for his daily morning walk. We turned a corner and there was a group of about 5-6 women gathered for their walking(?) group. Gunnar and I walked about 20 feet past them and then BOOM. He walks off the sidewalk and out into the middle of the street to make a poopy. I was SO embarassed! His business took so long I had time to contemplate my embarassment, get my phone out, open camera app, snap pic, and text to Chris to show him what "his" dog was doing to me. Nice move, Gunnar. Yes... I see who the boss is. Thank you.
