Oreo’s new spot

Version 1.0, , ,

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.

May 12 of 12

Version 1.0, , , , , ,

It’s May already.  Heck, it’s almost halfway through May.  Yikes.

8:46am – Good morning world.

8:50am – Taking Oreo out for her morning business.  As usual, she’s eating something she shouldn’t be.

9:26am – Oreo and I still aren’t on the same page regarding her morning “routine.”  Thank goodness for Brawny paper towls, biodegradable poop bags, and the enzymes in PetZyme.

10:47am – I’ve got a bit of laundry to fold.

12:39pm – Getting my ass whomped in MarioKart Wii by Marty and Mike online.  Still, the game’s a ton of fun.

1:33pm – Somehow, Oreo manages to sleep through all my yelling at the TV.

4:31pm – I’m making my way through the Seinfeld series, episode by episode.  After some lunch, I fall asleep to “The Understudy,” the last episode in Season 6.

8:57pm – Mmm, pizza.

10:15pm – Checking in on the Cubs’ rout of the Padres while chatting with Mike and Marty.  We proceed to set up another round of MarioKart Wii.  Too fun.

12:57am – Washing dishes before calling it a night.

1:01am – Oreo standing at attention, waiting to go outside one last time before bed.

1:14am – One last check of email, one last round of mindless (yet completely necessary) chatting with Marty, and the posting of this entry.

Happy May!
