My baby girl's all grown up!
Tuesday, October 17, 2006
Yup Misty is a big girl now, about 5 and a half months. She has gone through one grooming session, in which she screamed at the groomer repeatedly while she was trying to cut her nails. The pictures are a result of her haircut.
In the 3 months that we've gotten her, Misty has learnt several tricks:
(a) Sit down
(b) Roll over (but only half way cos the silly girl is afraid she can't get up after that)
(c) Go into her cage
(d) Shake hands (she has mastered both hands)
(e) Fetch her teddy bear and ball (of course not both at the same time)
(f) Let go of her teddy bear
(g) Differentiate her teddy bear from her yellow squeaky ball ( this one is still in the process cos I'm not sure it'll work either ha)
Everyday she has revision lessons for all these tricks at least once a day, in which she gets treats for doing them correctly and gets none for not doing them.
In the meantime, my mother has given her her share of what kind of manners dogs should have. The one Misty violates the most is being rude, like stepping on other people's toes, coming up behind people to lick them etc. Don't ask me how to assess this rudeness, I don't know too. Misty gets scolded just like the rest of us in this family.
Her character I have analysed thus far:
(a) Friendly. Ok,
very friendly. She doesn't bark, even at strangers and even goes up to her new friends to lick them as a sign of saying "hello".
(b) Playful. Still a kid so that's ok. What I don't get is why she runs around the hall at top speed from one end to the other.
(c) Wants attention. Yup even if you let her roam free, she sometimes comes back to crawl on your lap and almost seems to say "play with me, please.."
(d) Loves her teddy bear out of all her toys. Probably can be accounted for the fact that it was her first toy (in fact we took it from the pet shop so yup it definitely has her puppy smell).
(e) Very affectionate. See photo number 2? Yes she does like to give you kisses, as many as you allow her to. Alternatively, you can also hug her. She likes her ears and chest to be rubbed.
(f) She is afraid of loud noises like the nasty buses and cars outside. She gets super freaked out when I bring her out even for only a while.
