It's Tough Work, Running Around Filled With Excitement At Being Alive
Aida, nappily. She reminds me how to live (except, maybe, for the parts about running outside to take a poo by the tree out back and how she eats her food out of a ball she has to paw around the living room floor).








On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. -- Peter Steiner
There was a story that I read in Reader's Digest years ago about an Iditarod musher. At one stop at a hotel/restaurant he had gotten the dogs settled down outside the place, and then went in to eat and rest. He would sit down for a bit, then get up, look out the windows, then wander around the room for a moment and then sit down again.
The Inuit innkeeper finally laughed at him and said he was acting like his dogs would. The author pretty much admitted he was right.

Ha!
Well, at least if you ask me to sit down, I don't whirl around really fast four times before I take a seat.

Do you realize she would act, an eat, like horse poop was a treat?

My dog finds it rude to poo in front of people. No I'm not kidding.
He holds his poo and pee until humans are not around. He poos in the same spot all the time. He has NEVER had an accident inside the house. He potty trained himself.
When my parents took him on a camping trip they had to hold a towel in front of him so he wouldn't be seen by others pooing. He wouldn't poo because people were there and looking at him.
He's incredibly fastidious about his shitting habits.

That is hilarious, Ppen. Especially about the towel.
