When I became a dog owner (by default) almost a year ago, I hadn't figured on the spoiled dog (princess) factor. She is an adorable dog with some terrible habits. We're working on those!
I had two issues to address right away: food and toilet habits. Frodo wasn't housebroken (at age 5) and turned up her nose at dog food, preferring whatever was on the people's table. Frodie still isn't totally housebroken, but she DOES eat dog food now. She also has learned that she is NOT permitted to ride in the car under the driver's feet! She also has maintained some of her neurotic habits: going into a semi-trance with her favorite toy between her paws; eating sippie-cup tops; stealing food right from under my nose; shredding kleenexes out of the bathroom wastebasket; and the worst one--tearing into closed garbage bags. Bored dogs find ways to entertain themselves!
I hate February the most of all of the months of the year. It is the month when everyone is sick of winter and being cooped up...but it is also the month that promises "There can't be that many long cold spells left." I like that! My daughter and family moved 1 1/2 hours northeast of here at the end of last February, so I guess I have had almost a year to adjust. (I'm not there yet!)
Can you tell that I am posting here just because I think I should??? Spent the evening teaching a ham radio licensing class, so I have a bunch of things to do tonight. Am I doing them? Noooo... :)
