What we've learned about Gatsby in a day and a half

DSC_0008

  • 95% of the time, her tongue sticks out.
  • She can learn really basic rules after only three tries; for example, the first two times she got on the part of the couch without the blanket, I picked her up and put her on the blanket. Now she goes straight there.
  • She likes a little warm water mixed in with her kibble.
  • She demands belly-rubbage! Now!
  • She only barks when she’s playing with a ball. And her barks are kinda cute.
  • She’s a little picky about treats but seems to like turkey jerky strips. (Thanks to the guy at Greenward for the suggestion.)
  • Her farts are frequent, loud, and thermonuclear.

To paraphrase Lindsay: “Our Gatsby. I think we’ll keep her.”

    Thermonuclear is an understatement…I thought I was going to die…and that is a really cute picture.

    Hi, Gatsby! Glad to see you’ve got your coat with you. You look right at home. Kudos to your mom and dad. They are great new parents.

    Quit feeding that dog Beefarino. Rusty couldn’t handle it and he weighed 800 lbs. It is not designed for the vagaries of the canine digestive system.
