Obviously, given the circumstances, I feel horrible and I’m in a weird mood.
On top of this, Arrow was being a total pain in the ass this morning. She got into a space bag full of knitting and pulled out a bunch of stuff to chew on.
Then she unwound a yarn ball.
All in the two minutes I took to put on my mascara.
I cleaned up quickly, and was fuming at her, this little doggy who is just having fun, and I was almost ready to go, but I needed to get my shoes on, so I walked by her crate to get them.
And she went in.
I didn’t tell her to, I didn’t lure her with a goodie, and I didn’t do it to punish her.
She went in because that’s what we do next. Before I leave.
It made me late, but I stayed to pet her for a little while, because in spite of her being a huge pain in the ass this morning, she is a really good dog and she’s just trying to earn a goodie.
Today she got two.

Wait, you got a dog? And you’re not allergic to her?

Awww, how adorable. Did I miss when you got a dog? What kind is she?

Hi Shay! I got a dog! From the pound! About 2 weeks ago!
Arrow has a pretty thin coat, and we’re planning on weekly baths, and I’m not reacting to her at all so far.
Of course, I take a Zyrtec every day for my other allergies, so I’d have to be VERY allergic to notice. No shortness of breath, nothing.

Would you like a few tips from a former professional dog bather regarding pet maintenance?
(Yes, former. I went from professional to dog bather to unemployed. MY PARENTS ARE SO PROUD.)

Awww! I want to meet Arrow. And was she named after the dog from “The Point”?

Awwwwwww, what a good dog! I’m very impressed.
