Day 113 ~ 8-Legged Smack Down
We had our first four-legged house guest on Wednesday night since getting Mia. Zoe is an 11 yr old Yorkie who's the sweetest, most well-mannered, intelligent, friendly dog you'll find on the planet. Mia, on the other hand, at only 4 months old, is, well, mostly none of those things. She's cute and friendly (in a rough house puppy kind of way), but she's got a complete lack of common sense and discretion. I can relate, but that's not the point here.
Poor Zoe, from the minute she set paw in the door, Mia was using her like a jungle gym. She just doesn't know any better. She thinks every dog has the same energy and instant desire to imitate WWF. Meanwhile, Zoe used to have that same puppy playfulness and energy, but she's been around the block a time or two, and now she's just a good ol' dog who relishes in takin' it easy. We thought maybe things would calm down a bit after the first few rounds and they got the 411 on each other. After all, Zoe's a Yorkie and Mia's a Morkie (Maltese + Yorkie)... they're practically sisters, right? Survey says? Eyyyyyyyynt. Kylie and I each had to take a dog and sleep in separate rooms to finally calm the storm that night. The next morning it was like we were playing a TiVo'd show of the previous night's performance. Let's introduce the contenders, shall we? In the left corner, the rookie from Duncanville, TX, weighing in at 5.6 lbs w |
Unfortunately we had to call our back-up plan, Kandis, to take Zoe for the rest of the weekend. Sorry, Zoe-girl. Maybe one day Mia will mellow out a bit and we can try again. |
