Now I Get It . . .

This weekend marks the six month anniversary of Jenna's arrival to our house.   I think I have finally figured out why Jenna didn't make the cut for Canine Partners for Life.  Don't get me wrong, Jenna is a wonderful, beautiful, loveable dog, but she also . . .

• licks the Windex when Mommy tries to clean the sliding door
• eats the grape tomatoes right off the vine (green or red)
• doesn't know her own strength and thinks she's a lap dog
• sits under Mommy's feet while Mommy scrapbooks, waiting and hoping for a piece of paper to drop
• eats the birdseed that is dropped on its way from its storage container to the bird feeder
• eats the grapes growing on the grapevine in the backyard (Sensing a food theme??)
• almost broke Mommy's nose
• has no sense of personal space or boundaries
• runs off with the toilet paper
• eats the cardboard roll when all the toilet paper is gone
• throws up the cardboard roll three days later

On the other hand, she is a good addition to our home because she is:

• able to potty on command (unlike Dixie who takes forever)
• a shadow to Mommy
• a cuddle bug
• a playmate to Dixie (since I can't keep up with either of them)
• a distraction to Dixie which keeps Dixie from bothering me
• smart enough to know she'd better defer to my authority as the oldest four legged member of the family
• a sweet, loving puppy

Welcome Home, Sweet Jenna!

Love, Hunter
