Happy Chinese New Year!

Last weekend, we packed up the dogs and headed over to my parents' house to celebrate Chinese New Year. Yes, even Ender. One of our many dirty little secrets is that, wait for it, we often leave him at home when we go over to their grandparents' house. And yes we will bring Barksdale. I know! The injustice! Let's just say that Ender got off on the wrong foot with his grandparents and there's a cousin out there who is still extremely terrified of him. I did try to sway her opinion with promises that Ender's a total dude magnet and she could borrow him anytime and enjoy the outdoor seating area at Whole Foods.

But anyway, as he is growing into quite the little man, he was on model behavior and even got to spend the night at his grandparents. Here he is enjoying the pink fluffy bed my mom got for Barksdale.



And here he is trying to weasel his way into the kitchen while still "staying" on his bed:

My Little Man

Ender is becoming quite the little man. He no longer runs to the other room when we bust out the vacuum cleaner. Instead, he will sit there and watch me vacuum the rug. And I am so proud of him as he is becoming such a brave little man.

And then I thought, wait a minute. Maybe he's just now taking extreme pleasure in watching me spend half an hour vacuuming his hair off of a rug. That bastard.

Yes, I have become that friend that incessantly forwards you emails about cute dog things.

 

The Yellow Dog Project

Could the Universal language be dog?

Here's an interesting article about a project trying to establish a universal sign for dogs who needs space: What To Do If You See a Yellow Ribbon on a Dog's Leash

Me and my 'Gay' Dog

Did you hear about the story about how the Internet successfully saved a 'Gay' dog? Article can be found here. Apparently someone returned their dog for being 'gay' after the dog hunched another male dog. There are a lot of crazy people out there.

Stumbled upon this article online: Pit Bulls, the Ultimate Urban Dog Here's the most amusing part in the article:

"The pit bull has become the hipster yuppie dog," he says, laughing. "In New Orleans, everyone who moves here adopts a pit bull immediately, almost as a matter of course."

 Does that mean I now get to claim hipster yuppie status? I might need to purchase some tighter jeans.
