I’ve had Oreo now for about five weeks, and in that brief span she’s grown tremendously, both physically and mentally.  She knows a couple of basic commands and has learned to tell me when she needs to go outside.  Before I got her, I made the decision to not let her on my couch.  My recliner, however, is a different story, because it’s old and, frankly, a P.O.S., so I don’t mind if she sits on it (I bought it from one of my college roommates for $10).  So, a handful of times over these past five weeks I’ve scooped her up and had her lie in my lap while I watch TV.  Late this morning, to my pleasant surprise, I found her asleep in the recliner while I was working in my office.

She made it up there all by herself, which is an accomplishment because she’s shy and a bit afraid of trying new things, especially on her own.  The video below is of Oreo getting the recliner all by herself.  It’s nothing special, really, just cute footage, especially the face she gives at the very end.  (That’s Seinfeld Season 7 in the background.)

And while watching the Cubs beat the Dodgers tonight in extra innings, she hopped up there again and passed out.

Again: Too.  Cute.
