Week 15: Choice #1

I'm choosing to journal for a few days as my writing piece for this week.

Focus:  Lil Roo aka Roobad (my lil rat, I mean dog)

This morning Roo woke us up at 5 a.m. a little early but she, as usual, had needs to be met.  She got her dose of attention, then made her way to the kitchen for her ground chicken, mixed veggies, and brown rice, flavored with curry, her favorite!  We played ball for a bit, then 'mom' had things to do, so Roo assumed her position and lazed on my bed for a couple hours.  Around 9a.m. we trekked to the car.  Of course, spoilykins didn't want to sit in her car seat.  "Joy", I thought, as I held her driving down Stillwater to go get her nails cut at Petco!  While 'mom' spoke with the trainer she mentioned Roo was having her nails done.  The trainer had to meet her since she had heard so much about her!  She fell in love with her and wanted to take her home.  Of course, Roo was on her best behavior and the trainer didn't get to see the personality, the true colors, the mischievous ways she had been told about!  No surprise there!  A little later, Roo took a ride and napped all the way to Brunswick.  Her other mom just walked in, and Roo was excited to see her, as usual.  She is now in the kitchen, AGAIN, enjoying some apple slices!  What a spoiled lil rat!

5:30 am, Lilroo wakes us up again!  Full of it as usual!  Does the poop and eat drill.  Her other mom leaves for work and I try to check my email and suck while Roobad get into mischief! She shreds her pee pad, then continues onto a shopping bag and pulls out a piece of clothing and gnaws on the tag before I notice her!  Of course now, as I'm trying to do my english homework, shes is curled up on my lap, her head resting on one of my hands, taking a nap!  If someone were to walk in right now they would compliment how cute, precious, and well behaved she is.  If they only KNEW!  She is sooooo bad!  Oh no, she hears someone n the hallway...surprisingly she isn't barking!  She MUST be tired!  Afternoon time, oh has she lived up to her name!  Peed on the floor, drug socks and clean laundry throughout, she won't quit dig diggin on my leg!  Maybe she will go to sleep early tonight!

Rooroo woke at 6 a.m. today.  Ready for breakfast as usual!  She eats, plays a bit, says by to mom as she leaves for work.  Then she took a road trip back to Bangor with the other mom.  She slept the whole way.  She was glad to be back home, where all her squeaky balls without broken squeakers were.  She broke all the squeakers in the ones she left in Brunswick.  She was well rested and got to play with the kids today!  She loves people and can't get enough attention!  It's 9:39 p.m. now, she's ready for bed.  Whining, talking, trying to tell me it's bedtime.  I'd better go, the boss is talking!  Isn't is ironic how WE end up BEING trained?!  Dogs!
