amazing things my dog does

I was avidly working on my computer today being assaulted with nauseating dog farts when I was reminded that my poor old girl was aging so quickly. I briefly reminisced on her awesomeness…

  1. the time she graciously unlocked the truck when we accidentally locked her (and our keys) in there while at the gym. no joke. we kept pointing to the door and somehow she managed to keep pawing and unlock the door. it was magical.
  2. the time she jumped off the boat and swam to shore to use the bathroom. she literally swam to shore from our docked boat and back to the boat on 4th of July when we slept out on the water. it was so far but she is just so darn smart. you’d of had to been there – no one could believe she did it.
  3. all the times she has eaten the poop out of the litter box so I don’t have to clean it. awww thanks. not to mention all the loafs of bread and bagels she has stolen from the pantry and counter tops to save me from the carbs – at least that’s what I tell myself…
  4. and she’s always down to bring me some TP when C is too lazy to hook me up.
  5. all the pairs of underwear and socks she has carried into the bedroom from the laundry when I try to carry the huge load and drop stuff. it’s like “fetch” but not as fun.
  6. and most important – always being ready for a snuggle when anyone in the fam needs it.
  7. oh, and W and O would probably also like to add that she’s an excellent mock horse and live stuffed animal.

that’s a damn good dog.

"I'm just a KID mom"

Every once in a while I get lucky and witness the girls playing together peacefully, cuddling or otherwise just being totally adorable. O has been teaching W songs recently (when they aren’t throwing down or scaring the shizzle out of each other). O stages W in her “acting scenes” and makes her “say her lines“. It’s adorable. She helps her sing “you are my sunshine” and has been working on ABC’s and numbers with her.

I’m not entirely sure what I witnessed O teaching W last night but it was so cute I had to spy-video it. I got it perfectly on film. I do however have a feeling it won’t be as cute if they actually use this one-liner on me anytime soon. Though I might be impressed at the methodology and thought behind it.
