Atlas – I think I'm going to be spoiled


Not much to post this week. Tom and Atlas are here until his deployment mid June. All this makes it a little harder to find time to use my voice software because I need to be here by myself. Any background noise like the ice machine, opening food packages and even talking on the phone from a different room affected the software listening. It's pretty weird how many mistakes it makes with me sitting right here but I can pick up somebody talking on the phone in a different room and dictate it correctly. I know part of it is that my right side of my face is numb from that trigeminal neuralgia procedure I had a year ago but it really doesn't explain how bad it really dictates.
I love having Atlas here and he will be here for the year on Tom is deployed overseas. We had a fence put in or actually Tom did mainly to keep other dogs away from Atlas unless they are invited. Over the weekend there was one day where Atlas and 2 other dogs were out there. One was my niece's dog a shepherd mix, and Gronk who is a old English bulldog. Of course all Atlas cared about was fetching the ball.
I'm going to be pretty spoiled having Atlas here for a year. The photo above is Atlas as a taco dog while I'm getting up in the morning. He loves to be under the covers. At night he comes and gives me a hug where he puts both feet on my chest and lays his head down. A lot of times he gives me kisses because I can't get away.
Last night, Tom helped me put my right arm and sort of get him in a headlock. Since I cannot move my arm he can get out anytime he wants but for some reason he thinks he's trapped. As soon as somebody calls him he jumps out of my arm, but while he is there is such a sweetie. I'm definitely going to be spoiled while he is here. Of course when my wife is here he is pretty much attached to her. He loves his Grammy. I call him her shadow because he follows her around wherever she goes. When she's in the kitchen he stands between her and the cupboards. He's not waiting for food so we really don't know what he is doing except he wants to be wherever she does. That's all I have for now.
