Moira’s Misadventures

30 August, 2010 (20:58) | the dog | By: Gina

The roofing guys have been hard at work since the middle of last week on the condos here and I think Moira is having a mini nervous breakdown from it.  She’s watching the windows and patio door even more closely than she usually does, barks when she hears doors closing, and starts every time something’s [...]

For some reason, Moira has taken to curling up at Evan’s feet on the bed when we go to sleep at night.  I’m not exactly jealous, but…why???  He doesn’t want her there, and I want her on MY side.  Goofy dog

In her excitement at having some old friends come over this weekend, Moira leapt, from a sitting position, about 3 feet into the air and over the back of the couch.  I’ve never seen her jump that high even in her worst shiba fits.

Moira seems to like to mark her territory by peeing in a circle, with her head and front legs as the pivot point, and then kicking up the grass to make sure her scent got everywhere.  It’s a very cute, dainty kick, but a very bastardly thing to do.  Especially bastardly when it’s in multiple [...]

I think Moira is sad that she didn’t get more than a couple nibbles of the deliciously wonderful steaks Evan cooked for dinner tonight.  Poor food-oriented little girl… *** And because I think you should know, I had a completely different idea for this weekend’s comic.  Evan took some artistic license, drew and posted yesterday’s [...]

Moira needs to get out of the house and socialize with other dogs.  She’s quite nice and friendly towards most people, but she takes time to warm up to dogs…probably because she thinks she’s a small, furry human.  Hopefully Evan and I will be able to take her to the dog park soon with Shaheen [...]

I thought Moira was excited to see me when I came home post-call today, but apparently she was really just interested in the stuff I was holding.  Mean little dog.

If only the crazy little dog wasn’t so anti-social, I wouldn’t be afraid to take her out and about.  Sigh… (Not that she’s done anything.  She just doesn’t seem to get along well with other dogs.)

Moira has taken to sleeping next to me on the bed at night.  Cute as this may sound, she’s actually doing it in the most bastardly way possible.  She curls up right against me, shoves me to the edge of the bed, and lays on all my  covers so that I can’t move them.  Then, [...]

I can’t wait to take Moira out in our new car!  Pics coming tomorrow

Waaaay too much Chex mix

24 June, 2010 (17:12) | home, the dog | By: Gina

I had some free time today before heading back in for a 7pm-7am ER shift, so I decided I’d make some chex mix to bring along with me.  The first time I made the stuff, Evan and I divided the batch in halves to take to our families for separate get-togethers.  The second time, Evan, [...]

Imagine seeing this face with a little dollop of whipped cream on her nose… Irresistible.

I think Moira is in need of some puppy play dates…

Moira’s favorite place in the house is the old papasan cushion that I tossed carelessly on the floor and hadn’t gotten around to putting away yet.  She can be found laying there when not begging for table food.

Evan and I got our new camera last week, and we’ve been taking tons of pictures of the dog since she’s an easy target.  As you can see, she’s just as interested in the camera as we are…
