saw two movies in the past week: american fiction and dune: part two. the latter was really, really good. i liked american fiction, too. good combination of funny, sad, and heartfelt.

we moved into our current house last march, and we’re still moving stuff out of the old house. i think we’re on the home stretch at least (yay, puns)… my stuff has been out of there for awhile, but my partner lived there for ten years, so he accumulated a lot over the years.

echo had her trainer evaluation on sunday and performed wonderfully. basically all she had to do was walk around and not show signs of fear or reactivity to a new, mostly empty room. she accepted petting from the evaluator and was generally very chill. she also did great the two times i took her to the neighborhood restaurant patio, so it looks like i may have another brewery dog in the works! she starts her canine good citizen class in a couple of weeks.

i’m working at my polling place tomorrow for the primary election. i’m pretty disillusioned with the system in general, but i think it’s a good thing to do for the community (plus, the money i make can go toward more dog activities!). it’s gonna be a loooong day, and we have new, idiotic voter ID laws that should really be thrown in the trash.
