Cruz is sleeping in our room tonight.  The good news is, after what had to have been the most terrifying night of his life thus far, he hasn’t abandoned us completely as we’d feared.  Bad news though, Scout has totally lost her mind and seems to want to eat Cruz alive to prove her dogliness to Madi.  Every time I look at Scout, I’m just all, WTF?  How can she have totally forfeited their friendship overnight?  And will it return when Madi is gone again?  I feel like I’m observing a weird Animal Kingdom Soap Opera unfold in my own living room.

In totally unrelated business:  How does one ever find the motivation to start working out again after a week or more off?  Every day I plan to go to the gym and every day I delay it until ‘tomorrow.’  Anyone have a secret ass-kicking go-back-to-the-gym weapon that they’re willing to share?
