Partying with Joey

I had a couple things going on Wednesday. I was going to get my new dog. I was covering for Dan at the fire department, and I was going to go to Joey's party. So at noon I leave for lunch and head to Ken's house to get the dog. It is a purebred Golden Retriever. Her name is Amber, and she is 3 years old. I picked her up, grabbed lunch and then headed to work. She came down stairs to my office in the basement of the jail. I showed her to everyone. After lunch I took her home and get her set up. She seems like a good dog. When I got off work I headed to Pullman. I was covering Dan at the fire department. When I got to Pullman, since I was on call, I could go places, I just have to be able to get to the station in 7 minutes. I can drink either, of course. So, I picked up Garrett from his apartment and we headed over to Joey's house. He was having a BBQ and he had a keg. I had some meat, but no beer, until 11 pm. That is when I got a call from Dan saying that he did not need me to be on call for him anymore. So, I changed out of the fire department stuff and started to drink. I only had two or three beers total. I had to get up early. I have not been getting a lot of sleep, so I wanted to get to bed before 1 am. But that is indeed when I got to bed.

Joey were talking. I can't remember how the subject came up, but he mentioned that he wanted to have kids. I told him I will not be able to have them, at least very easily. He did not know what I meant, and I did not continue to explain. He is a nice guy and he was trying to say nice things.
