Tuni's Tome

Crazy puppy

We've been sick this past week, and haven't been able to do much work with Tuni. She hasn't been going out for walks or drives, and although I usually take her with me to work, I haven't been in work, so she's been stuck in the house with a pair of grumpy sick people on medications. She is bored out of her mind, and she's been misbehaving so badly! If she's not chewing on shoes, she's throwing newspapers around or chasing cats or wrestling with Polly or pestering Nonny or peeing on the floor or making havoc in a dozen other ways I've blessedly managed to block out of my mind.

On the plus side, the Man-Beast taught her "down," and she's getting pretty good, considering that she learned it yesterday. She does pick things up very quickly, which makes me feel even worse for neglecting her training all week long.

But when you tell her to down, she goes, "GRRROOOOOOO," and then does it, as if to say, "What? But I want that toy! Come on, gimme! Okaaaaaay, fine. NOW can I have it?"

I like this backtalking! It makes me laugh!
