Waiting for the Ambulance + Last Nights Victory!

Winston is rather antsy, as he has caught on to the routine of getting ready for me to go to the hospital...without him. Last time he threw up his breakfast right after I left, so i'm not feeding him. Nick, my great friend and trainer at SSD is coming to pick him up at 9 because like I said, he is a great freaking friend. I have Winston vest out. In the packs is my clicker, poop bags, two meals worth of food, his shot records, a law book, water bowl, gentle leader, leash, mini lint roller and haha fliers for a concert...I also have Winston treat bag ready and in it I hid a mix cd, letter and $20 for Nick. Hahah, that sounds like a ton but really it is hardly even full. Winston is curled up on the floor beside my bed, ears back and alert to every sound. If it weren't for Nick, Winnie would be alone with Bill the alcoholic all day! I'd be a mess for my entire hospital visit. I can't express how grateful I am of Nick. He plans on taking Winston out all day to places including the dentist and even a soccer game!

Last night I was exhausted and when Winston heard a weird sound he leaped off my bed and nudged my door open. After he came in I was detirmined to get him to shut it again so that it was dark in my room again. I have tried to get him to "close" the door from across the room in my hospital bed ever since I came home from the hospital in November and have not been succesful unless someone pointed to it. Last night after turning my closet light on and off twice he ran over to the door, and looked back at me with that look they get when they finally figure out what it is you need! With very little encouragement he pushed the door shut and ran over to give me kisses!! I LOVE MY BABY!!!
