A day in the life...

March 24th, 2006 at 02:08 pm

Today I have the day off from work, so it will be a good time to catch up on laundry, grocery shopping, and so on.

I woke up at 7:45 and got DS up and headed in the general direction of the front door - he was tired and tried to tell me that he has a fever. Out! He sighs, gives up, and is soon out the door.

I take the dog and the puppy outside. The dog pees. The puppy runs like mad and chases birds. Breakfast time! I settle on yogurt and granola while the dog/puppy both eat. I have to put their bowls at opposite ends of the hallway because the puppy wants both bowls at once and so does the dog. {sigh}

Time to go outside again. The dog performs. The puppy eats a twig.

We come in the house, and I give the girls each a bone. The dog wants both at the same time, and the puppy wants whatever the dog has. Barking, snarling, and whining ensue. The dogs are pretty loud, too.

I decide to take the puppy out again, as she has done nothing so far. She finds a bottle cap near the street and I have to fish it out of her mouth. Ew!

We get back in the house. The dog has both bones. The puppy barks - very high pitched, and I put her in the kitchen behind the gate. The formerly snarling, territorial dog misses the puppy and cries at the gate for her. I sigh, put both bones on the stairs (Ew, slimy) and bring them both back into the family room.

I wash my hands. When I come back, the puppy has pooped on the carpet.

It's 9 am. What are you doing?

    That is so funny. When I got my little puppy, she only weighed one pound. Every time I took her out, I would say, go potty, get a cookie. Every time she performed outside, I would bring her in and give her a little piece of vienna sausage. soon, as she was peeing outside,she would be licking her lips, thinking of that "cookie" She housetrained fast! ( I did it for a year, she looked forward to that cookie so much) Byt she housetrained in a month.
