initial impressions

Hmmm.... I am withholding judgement. They've only been in training for 2 days. However, that being said, they are not picking up on my objectives and goals. A-Man, who is my trainee, does not seem to understand that the sole purpose of my presence there is to teach her to give me baby carrots all day long! I don't understand what I'm doing wrong or why she isn't catching on....

First of all, this is all the gear I have to take with me in the mornings:

(that little baggy on the left that says "Tadpole" is the MOST important)


So yes, I get all dressed and Massah takes me out to the car. Thanks to my friend Ruby Bleu for the work attire (I got LOTS of compliments on it!!!)

This was our first day of work together - yesterday morning. Please note that it is 6:30 AM and we are LEAVING. That's way too obscenely early for that sort of thing.

I sleep until we get there, and then my work begins. A-Man tries to drag me all over the place on a ridiculous little leash. I've tried to put a stop to that (I should be able to lie on someone's lap all day) but she seems to be a stubborn little woman. She won't stop walking, and that means I have to follow along beside her or else she tries to dislocate my neck vertebrae by jerking on my collar. That's all we've done so far, but I tell you... this "training" business seems to be more about what A-Man wants that about what I want. I don't think I signed up for this. But like I said, I'm withholding judgement for now. I will give her the benefit of the doubt - maybe A-Man is just nervous, since this was the first couple days she's seen me. Or maybe she was just having a rough day, and next week she'll be willing to cooperate more. I don't know. I'll have to tell you all about my fellow trainers - there's a boxer named Jazz that I like, but she's not white like my BFF Lola Sprout Beyonce but that's okay because she can't help how she was born - but I need to rest some more for now. This is what I look like at the end of the day:

And then I do this all the way home:

It's tough working a 9 to 5. Or a 7:30 to 3:30....
