A lasting impression

Hey blogaroos. It’s me- Squirmy Do. Or as Alice calls me – the Demon Child. She has witnessed my dining room laps, and she is accustomed to my ricochets – and even though she thinks I’m a little “wild” , I know she adores me. She’s always laughing at me and my antics- which I ramp up when I have an audience. She’ll miss me – I know she will!

Today is her last day with us – she heads home to her feline kids tomorrow. Wonder what the kitties will do when they catch the aroma of dog slobber on her clothes. I know we dogs have noses that work overtime if the Warden has been out and she visits someone with a dog. Wonder if the cats will give her the olfactory exam, or if they’ll head under the bed….

I had class on Friday and I was positively mediocre. I have been on my training hiatus the past few weeks- so I need to get back to work. We always do something different in class each week – Jane is always looking to challenge us. Well we did this exercise where Jane had two rows of stuff on the floor – toys, balls, jackets – and we were supposed to heel through them without paying attention to the items. I watched her putting all the stuff down and I was fascinated before it was even my turn to run the gauntlet. And when it came my turn- KABOOM – brain explosion. I mean come on, what dog doesn’t want to check out a row of stuff? My first run through was an epic fail. BUT – I was good on my second try. I’m a quick study. Sometimes.

Hey – I have a question for you – is your dog right or left pawed? Why? Check out this article:

The Warden hasn’t decided if I’m a leftie or a rightie. She’s right handed – so she’s curious to see which side each of us prefers. I’ll let you know when we figure it out. Ten bucks says the Coyote is a leftie. He likes to be different.

OK. I’ve got to go get Alice moving and keep her busy during every second of her last day. I have to make a lasting impression…

Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe.
