As I was going back to the car for a bag, he ran out in front of a big truck that was coming through the front parking lot for some reason, so I had to discipline him for running around and not listening. He sulked all morning as I made him lay by my side, but he was much better behaved the rest of the day, walking right by my side any time we went anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve come to hate Microsoft cloud services with nearly every fiber of my being as I try to work out what we have and what we need. Licensing is a mess, and it feels almost beaurecratic how much documentation you have to understand to make any of it work. We finally took a break and went back to McDonald&#8217;s for more Monopoly pieces. I&#8217;ve been doing pretty well with the small stuff, so maybe I&#8217;ll get lucky with something big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The afternoon dragged a little bit as I struggled to maintain focus. I finally just had to throw my hands in the air at quitting time. Summer had burgers and brats for us when we got to the house, and then I had to run to Walgreens for a prescription and some more nonstick gauze pads for my arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muad&#8217;Dib and I took a long walk to my parents&#8217; house and visited with Dad for a little bit, and then got back right at dark. I cleaned up a little bit and wrote a few reviews, and then it was off to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Doggy Directions<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We swung through a busy McDonald&#8217;s for a free biscuit this morning, and then Muad&#8217;Dib had to take care of business before [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[96,66,42,27],"class_list":["post-9096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-dog","tag-frustration","tag-pets","tag-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9096"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9097,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9096\/revisions\/9097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
