Thursday June 29, 2006 Doggie Update - Almost Two Years On
|
The other day, Dan had a video of his dog having an action packed dream, complete with muted barking. |
Can't top that, but we often see the small dog equivalent with Dusti. Instead of woof woof sounds though, she just emits a few almost inaudible ruff ruff's. Probably fighting off a band of marauding squirrels. The image above was taken last night, after Duncan had had two playdates that day. We were all a little tired out. She looks like I felt.
Normally during the day, (while I'm now working from home), she'll come hang with me (if Lynea -- her primary care giver -- isn't around), but she's always as restless as a willow in a wind storm and doesn't seem to want to go to sleep until she has all her people home. When Lynea returns, she'll go off and snuggle with her; must...wedge...butt...into...human.
She's still the perfect door bell. Anybody who comes to our front door first gets barked at, then, when the door is opened, they get sniffed and licked. I'm convinced that when new people come to our house and hear her loud barking that they are going to be set on by a dog that's at least the size of an Labrador if not a Great Dane. Then you open the door and this little terrier appears.
Dusti, or to give her full Indian name, Ruts With Pillows, has another rather disgusting habit (besides the pillow rutting) that sometimes grosses me out. She'll use the quilt on our bed as a giant hankie. After she's had a drink of water, she'll typically come into our bedroom, and start to roll around on the bed, wiping her nose and snorting away. It's a full body event. First time I saw it, I thought there was something wrong with her. Then she'll stand up and shake, just like she does when she's had a bath. She'll also do all this when she has a doggie cold and wants to wipe her nose. Eeew!
