For the dog parents out there, you know that puppies often do things that we don't understand even though we wish we did. I find myself currently in that situation with my just barely nine-month-old puppy. I love her to pieces but some of the things she does make me shake my head in wonder. If you've ever had a puppy, then you probably can relate. I'm just so glad to have one that most of her antics make me smile. Unfortunately, my puppy is the kind that believes that if you aren't paying attention to her, then she is being neglected. So she finds ways to get herself in trouble so that you will pay attention to her. Or she does some weird thing. Here are ten questions I ask my puppy that I wish she could answer.
1. Why are you chewing on the stairs?
You have bones, and there are sticks in the yard. Why the stairs? Not just the wood but the metal? You have to stick your head through the spacers to chew, you know it's going to get stuck eventually.
2. That is drywall, why are you eating it?
See that hole. Yeah, that doesn't go there. That's the drywall. No don't hide it, the evidence is all over your nose.
3. Those are my shoes. Are they tasty?
I guess they are only tasty when my feet are inside of them? You are weird. You leave them alone until I put them on.
4. You have a bunch of toys are you sure you want more?
Of course, you do, why am I asking. Is there such a thing as too many toys? You need ALL THE TOYS!
5. Do my arms look like food?
I guess so. Should I cover my arms in peanut butter would you like them better that way? Not only do you bite them but you have to sit on my chest and suffocate me to chew my arms? Why can't you just stand on the floor and do it? Oh, you'll do that too...
6. What is that noise?
Oh, it's just you dropping your large bone down the stairs to see if it bounces. Guess what, it doesn't. It makes a loud crashing noise that scares me and makes me wonder if we have a heard of elephants trying to break into the house to steal your toys. Please don't do it again.. Oh, you're doing it again... Fun game... Not.
7. Why is it so quiet?
What are you getting into? Oh, you're asleep. Thank heavens. I get worried when you get quiet. It is a scary thing.
8. What is that smell?
Nope, not going to go find out. No thank you. I don't have a gas mask handy.
9. What do you mean you want my food?
1. It's chocolate, and it will hurt you and 2. It's chocolate. I don't share chocolate. Ever.
10. Why are you so adorable?
That is the million dollar question.I wish I had the answer to that question baby girl but I do not.
