puppy-sitting

i'm watching wendy and josh's boston terrier puppy, russell, for a few days while they're at a crusade conference (the hotel doesn't allow dogs). taking care of a puppy is almost like taking care of a baby, except russell doesn't nap, and there's no swing to put him in to occupy him for awhile, nor can i stick him in a baby pen. and, i'm still debating whether i prefer picking up puppy poo or changing diapers.

i'm totally exhausted, but we had a good day. i'm coming up with ways to exhaust russell, like taking him to this big, fenced-off dog park wendy mentioned.
