Gina Bean!

I’ve decided the best way to get Moira to become more cuddly and affectionate is by pouncing on her and hugging her, Hobbes-style.  She’s handling it about as well as Calvin did.

I honestly believe Moira is nicer and sweeter to me when I’m on nights.  Crazy little dog

I like cuddling with Moira and Evan does not.  Does anyone have a good guess on why it is that Moira always lays against him when we go to sleep and not me?!?

Moira got a little too curious while I was jumproping earlier and got whacked on the nose by said rope.  Since then she’s been a bit nicer and more docile than usual…

Our relatively new across-the-hall neighbors are having a get-together of some kind and they’re rather loud.  Evan and I wouldn’t mind actually, except that Moira’s now all worked up and keeps barking every time they open and close their door.  Poor girl’s a nervous wreck.

Hmm, the title of this post makes the two sound as though they’re somehow related, but they’re not… Evan and I dropped Moira off at Camp Bow Wow for her interview today.  On our way out of our condos, Moira was shivering with excitement and we actually had to stop and let her out so [...]

Tomorrow is Moira’s interview with Camp Bow Wow and I’m starting to feel pretty nervous!  Hopefully she’s not the doggy equivalent of a sociopath or something terrible like that…

Samantha has talked quite a bit about Camp Bow Wow, the doggy daycare her Maggie goes to while she’s at work, and I started thinking it might be a good idea to see if we can get Moira enrolled there too.  We have a few trips coming up and it seems likely most of the [...]

Having guests over means Moira uses up all her energy while they’re here, which then means she’s completely worn out by bedtime and doesn’t try to toss toys in my face as I’m trying to fall asleep.  It makes me wonder what she would be like if there were guests here all the time…

We had yet another Cox cable technician come out today to try to fix our weak cable signal, and we had to keep Moira locked up in the bedroom for a couple hours.  When the doorbell first rang, it sounded like the crazy dog threw herself against the door in an effort to escape.  She [...]

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 [...]
