7 things about ME! (who else!?)

1. I am a rescue!

2. My BFF is a squirrel/puppy hybrid called a 'ginny peeg'

3. I yip like a coyote in my sleep

4. I'm a 'STAY OFF MY LAWN' type of dog, but I will warm up to strangers. Especially if they have cookies!

5. I love learning new things when I feel like it

6. I like getting into things when people aren't looking

7. I'm so awesome, people love me everywhere I go! It's true! People stop us all the time on outings so they can talk about ME, how awesome I am, how awesome Poms are, how I remind them of their dog and so on etcetcetc.

EXCUSE me???

I recently came across this article- Dogs Dumbed Down by Domestication

Maybe it's just me (and my 'dumb' domestication), but I don't understand how perfecting the art of manipulating the humans into doing everything for you is considered 'less intelligent.' We are fully aware that if we sit pretty, bat the eyelashes, and give a little smile or maybe tail wag that the humans will CAVE and GIVE us that frickin bowl of food! It works every time. Even our wild counterparts will choose to go for the meal that expends the least amount of energy. That's why they are in trouble with farmers all the time.

fun times!

Today I found a dead toad in the yard to roll around on! It was the BEST! Mom looked kind of angry for some reason, though.

See?? Us dogs are beautiful no matter what we do. Even if- we're stuffing our face!
