"family" time at GUday

after the vet appt (which we're awaiting test results on), the little man and i went to go visit the jew at work. today is GUday at g'town. it's the free carnival of the year. it's kinda all sorts of awesome if you don't mind the fact that there are students there.

the jew, the tuck, and i start walking up from the jews office to where the carnival is and of course we run into our boss. the big head boss guy. and his wife. and their dog. after a few moments of conversation where we exchanged dog names, met the wife, talked about our respective furry relatives, we part ways. as soon as we're out of ear shot the jew says exactly what i was thinking: "well, that had all the potential to be awkward...and was."

totally. it's bad enough when people see the two of us together on campus. the rumors go wild immediately. however, with the dog added in the mix? really, there's only so many times we can look like a couple/family in front of these people and expect them to believe us when we insist that we're not. the jew is lucky, she gets to be a little more removed from the front lines of the wildfire of rumors. I, on the other hand, have to go to work tonight and deal with the ribbing from the guys. (and, again, there's only so much i can take of "she's so hot!!")

the dog, however, is extremely happy that he got to spend time out with his family and is now totally passed out on the couch (well, half on/half off). and, in the end, all the awkward situations we get ourselves into are well worth it if the little guy is content.
