New dog.

Acquired "Chauncey" last night (changing name, but not quite sure to what).  Very cute red shih tzu, looking somewhat like a Brussels Griffon.  Two years old, small(er) but a bit plump, trained, fixed and chipped.  A bit shy, not really vocal and not a kisser.  Did not sleep very well last night and a little accident.  Very good on a leash and is already scratching at the door to go out (although not always for potty).
Right now, he is obviously tired and he's trying to figure out where to lay down.  Made the mistake of getting something to eat when I thought he was asleep, so now he's up and about again.  Doggie bed in the bedroom seems not to be favorable and we're just a bit nervous about our bed.  David is sleeping and the room is dark, so I am hoping he'll want to go back in there (he'll have to during the week) and sleep.  Out here, too much light and I've got things to do, which will disturb him.  I don't really want to have to crate him, but maybe we'll have to for a little bit.
The other one we wanted to adopt with him, Ruby, went to another family; A bit of a missed opportunity.  We looked at two other ones, Fire and Oak, which were very cute as well.  Fire was very kissy and cuddly, while Oak was shy.  The two are a bonded pair, although the foster said she would separate, we would not want to (could be a positive thing, as Oak has a jealousy streak).  We're comfortable with two, but not quite sure about three.
Chauncey has never been a solo dog, so we've decided to wait before getting him a friend(s).  I'm hoping he'll become a bit "alpha" and be able to get the other(s) in line.  Before that, we need to work with him on our routines and ways.
Nice to have a dog around again.

Otherwise.... tired, tired, tired.
Averaged about 5 hours a night of sleep last week.  Began running on empty on Wednesday and coasted the rest of the week.  A bit on-nerve by the end, and some student behaviors did not help much.  End of the quarter yesterday with a lot of grading still to do- due Monday....  Not sure if I have a coffee headache or from lack of sleep.  About eight hours last night.  Need to change my night routine.

List for weekend is tremendous!  Gotta get things going.  Shower first (if I can get the dog to sleep).
