Poochie and I have been enjoying the wonderful fall weather we've been having lately, among other things, that I haven't been able to update her blog. I've been busy with PODOHAMA.com, as well. Starting this week, I'll be starting my design/illustration internship at Port Discovery in Baltimore, MD and starting my fall classes online.
SO A MUCH AWAITED UPDATE:
Poochie is so silly... She's almost fully learned the "Come" command and is stubborn from time to time with the "Sit" command. She now likes to spend time with me at my computer! She likes to nestle between me and the chair. As in.. I have to scoot my butt out a bit so she could fit in. I think she's just using me for the warmth ;)
She's also learned "Outside?," "Let's go outside!" and "Num nums" (for food). If she's hungry, she'll run over, get a little nutty, then finally sit down for me to put the bowl down. A lot of times, she'll wait until I say "eat" before she jumps in. Other times, I guess she's just a little extra hungry to wait for the command.
We give her diced carrots as treats; she loves those. I also like to crack a raw egg into her breakfast. This new addition to the menu is what brought her closer to me. She's even starting to have separation anxiety issues :/ I'll fix that. Since I'll be a little busy from now on, it'll help me help her get used to being alone. Before the whole egg and carrot business, she was really great about behaving while left alone for hours straight, but... since the expansion of her menu she's loved the idea of yanking the cover of her crate in, through one of the holes and I think she may be tinkled on her bed once... It smelled suspiciously urine-y. She's yanked the cover in the first time we covered her crate, but I believe that was because she wasn't comfortable with us or the house.
The hoodie I got for her is a tad small and the top velcroe likes to pop open. It looks like she's wearing one of those baggy, wide 90's sweathers... with the really wide open collar..? You know the one, right? Anyway.. it's adorable, but it's also starting to get really fridgid. I need to make that sweater of hers and we need to buy her a descent jacket. My mom and I both know we'll never get around to making her a puffy jacket. She did mention knitting her a sweater!! Exciting! Another thing about the hoodie: sometimes I wake up to a naked Poochie.. She squirms just enough that she ends up out of the thing. I would love to get her one of these:
A Cable Sweater :) Or...
An Aspen from the Dogs Department.
Unfortunately... I am not willing to spend close to a hundred dollars on a sweater... Thanks...
Though... I think they should retake the photos of their product. There's too much dog and not enough sweater. I have plenty of faith in the look of the clothes, but... there are many people out there with little to no imagination...
If I had the skills, time, and patience I would be making all kinds of sweaters (including Christmas sweaters!!) for Poochie. Oh crap... how about a onesie with a booty door and a hoodie in the shape of some ridiculously, sickeningly adorable animal?? !!!
