Smells like....

Smells like.... No its not Teen Spirit. It smells like a clean doggie in my house now. Mindy finally had a bath today. Her stitches came out 3 days ago but her appointment wasnt until Saturday morning. I know its now 1am on Sunday morning but bear with me here. I never show a good sense of time. But where her incision is, it was a bit dirty and I tried to keep it clean. When she first came home, it was pretty messy from laying on the concrete floor. So every day I wiped it clean for her. Shes such a sweetie though. And very active. That dog have more energy than any 5 year old I know. I should bottle it up and sell it on Ebay. Id make a fortune. Hey!!! Thats my idea. Dont go scamming my stuff. Shes been such an amazing addition to this family. She sleeps with Cami at night and watches cartoons all day. She also hangs out in Cami's room to have tea parties and play with Barbie. And she doesnt have any interest in eating her head off. Thats one thing Barbie cant do. Grow a new head. Hmmmmm that gives me a few ideas. Nah. I wouldnt hurt Barbie. Id never hear the end of it from Cami if I did. Well after her stitches came out, she zoomed all through the house as if to say Look at me!! How can we not? You are about to break everything in your path. The poor fish was bobbing in her tank. Yeah its a her because Cami said so. Dont ask. You would never understand her logic unless you live with her. Its a scary thing. So now that her stitches are out, she can go pee in the back yard. I didnt want her to before because of the deep snow. See? Im a good mommy. Shes been doing relaly good about doing her business. When she goes out back now she doesnt need to be on a leash. I worry about that because the fence on one side is really in bad need of replacing. Not repair. Its too far gone for that. But here is the funny part. If I open the door, she wont go down unless you come with her. And when I open the downstairs door to the yard she stands on the step waiting for you to come with her outside. Shes a big wuss. But it doesnt bother me. Id rather be there to watch over her because I dont want her to slip under the fence. So she does her ladylike squat and then has to sniff everything. Yes, Mindy, its yours. You did that one. There is another female dog that uses the yard. I dread the day they end up out there together. I relaly dont like the other dog because she tends to be a little on the mean side. I would never hurt a dog unless it hurt me first. And hurting my dog will hurt me. So anywho, she sniffs and sniffs and sniffs and then finds a spot. She goes in circles. I get dizzy. Then she decides to sniff for another spot. She goes in circles again. Geez Mindy..Just go. Round and round she goes. And wouldnt you know it? Not the right spot again. So she goes back to the first spot and circles again. Ok its like -4F out here. Just go!!! She immediately holds her stance and drops the bombs. Then she looks at me for approval. *rollseyes* Is this something that the cat taught you to do? I cant do anything without that cat around. Now I have to be there for the dog to do something too? I tell her to move her rear up the stairs and off she goes. I lock the door and head up behind her. She then goes right for the place where I keep the cookies. Ok so she was a good girl. But I have to give her a cookie for making me dizzy? Ok. Shes a good girl. Well she got a few toys when she first came home to live with us. One is a squeaky ball that drives me crazy. The other is a squeaky burger. But her absolute favorite is a stuffed pig that has a little box inside that when you press on it, it oinks. She ripped that thing apart. I came home from work to find the little box had been ripped out and she pulled all the stuffing out of the pig. Typical dog. Now two weeks later, you cant even tell that its a pig anymore. Just a piece of furry cloth. But she loves that box that made the noise. I have it hidden because I dont want her to swallow it. But if you tell her to get her piggy, she comes running back with that drooly looking piece of cloth. Time for a new piggy I guess. Well today (Saturday) she had her appointment at the groomer. She was dropped off at 9am and picked up at 1230pm. She was sooooo excited and just your average happy dog. They said that she was fun to work with because she loved having a bath. Im not sure I believed them but they were all cuddly with her. Because she was so good getting a bath, she gets to pick out a new toy from the toy aisle at Petsmart. This is like telling a child to pick one toy from Toys R Us. Impossible to do. Fun to watch. Well she sniffs up and down the aisle and noses in some of the bins. You will never guess what she came home with. Yep. A new piggy. But shes such a happy puppy. How can I deny her? http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y261/gammak/Mindymin5.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y261/gammak/Mindymin4.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y261/gammak/Mindymin2.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y261/gammak/Mindy_imprsnates_templeton.jpg
