We dropped Moira off at Camp Bow Wow for her 2 week vacation from us today (she was so excited to go join her friends that she just marched right in and ditched us!) and then spent some time with our families before we came back home. Now we’re all packed and ready to get [...]
Moira spent the night at Evan’s mom’s on Saturday and things went mostly well. She and Jack get along beautifully and she has a lot of fun over there, but it seems she had a hard time going to sleep without us and whined quite a bit, keeping Evan’s mom awake with her. She was [...]
Moira’s spending the night at Evan’s mom’s to see if she and Jack get along well so she can dog sit for us while we’re in Mexico. They get along wonderfully when they’re together for a few hours, so hopefully this will go well too. I have a feeling I’m going to have a harder [...]
I’ve called Camp Bow Wow to book Moira’s vacation while we’re on vacation (13 nights!), and meanwhile we’re going to drop her off at Evan’s mom’s this Saturday evening to see if she and Jack get along well enough for her to hang out over there for part of that time and save us some [...]
The shiba inu puppy cam is back and Moira is once again in danger of getting a little sister… Luckily Evan’s here to talk some sense into me.
I’m truly jealous of the dog’s lifestyle. Lay around, sunbathe, nap, play, and eat. Why can’t life be that simple for us too?
I caught Moira looking over my arm at my laptop screen this weekend as I was doing a little online shopping. This combined with her desire to smell flowery make me believe she’s a pretty girly girl after all.
Moira always seems horribly upset with us if we go out to eat and come home smelling particularly aromatic. Indian food, Vietnamese food, Thai food, etc. All drive her crazy. Poor thing, stuck with her dog food all the time.
Evan thinks Moira sleeps predominantly on the right side of her face after noticing that the whiskers on that side are curled while the opposite ones are straight. I have a feeling this will lead to both of us watching her pretty closely as she lays around.
The thought of leaving Moira at Camp Bow Wow for 2 weeks while we’re in Mexico makes me rather sad, so I think we’re going to ask Evan’s mom to dogsit her until she has to take her dog to Camp Bow Wow also when she flies out to join us. I don’t want the [...]
Tuesday is Moira’s next vet visit. She is typically rather skittish at these and it’s a bit embarrassing and very sad. We’re hoping that by taking her out for a nice, long walk first though that she’s better behaved.
As much as I’m looking forward to our trip in a couple months to Mexico (and trips with all my free time next academic year), I’m back to feeling apprehensive about leaving the dog. Sometimes I wish we could just take her with us everywhere we go…
Evan’s gone to visit his dad again (he’ll be back Wednesday) and Moira’s moping again. It’s much worse than her usual sorry state, but I don’t know what to do to make Evan understand that. She’s lost her best bud and has no idea when he’ll be back.
Because I’m a nerd, I calculated how many hours I’ll have worked in between days off. (It was a mistake but I’ll write about it anyway.) In 17 days, I will work more than 200 hours. I know which elevators to take and which to avoid, I’m on a first-name basis with most of the [...]
Evan plans to go see his dad this weekend while I’m on call, which means Moira will have the house to herself for about 28 hours. Hopefully I won’t come home to a mess post-call…
