i'm being held "hostage"

i took claypool to the vet to be neutered on tuesday. as a result, for a week, he can't be outside if he isn't on a leash because he can't run or jump or anything like that. since he was a stray he has HORRIBLE separation anxiety which is getting worse and worse because he's inside with me all day. he's starting to amuse me though. we have a black mirrored refrigerator and he just goes and stares at himself. other than that though, he's just getting antsy and it makes me antsy. only 4 more days after today. we're about to go to petco to get a bunch of huge rawhides so i can make a break tonight for a little while and hit up my usual friday date with jenny! yay! i'm so excited!
