since she’s been good all day long…
I gave Rowdi a super-huge biscuit in the wait for the biscuit game. But I’m the most horrible dogmommy ever. I had her come to me in the kitchen, then I put the biscuit on her nose. It was way too cute to not photograph. But doggonit, the camera was in the other room. So I thought about it for a few seconds and did the meanest thing. I took the biscuit off her nose and made her follow me into the livingroom so I could grab the camera. I know, I’m so mean! She followed me, all the while kinda jumping toward the biscuit, knowing she couldn’t actually try to take it (mean lady yells). I got to the rug where she chews everything and put the biscuit back on her nose. She: not amused.
But look how cute!
Now aren’t you glad I tortured her?
BTW, earlier I was on the phone with Frank and wanted to give her a biscuit, so I put the biscuit on her nose. Well, I was on speaker phone. Frank was having a hard time hearing me, so I made a move to pick up the phone, and I must have looked like I was about to yell “FREEEEE!!” and clap, because she popped the biscuit into her mouth (she hardly ever misses anymore). I looked at her, and she looked at me like “Oh no! That wasn’t the cue! She didn’t say it, it was a fake-out! What do I do? Do I eat it anyway? Do I put it back on my nose? I need a consult!”
But she knew (see, if I let her get away with it off cue once, she’ll always pretend she thought I said FREE, because she really is that smart. Smartest stupid dog you’ve ever seen.). She didn’t even bite into it. She teethed it a couple of times and rolled it around in her mouth, but she was looking at me like she knew she should drop it but she really didn’t want to. I think she figured if I would just go ahead and say the word, she could keep it and we both win. So of course, I told her to drop it. She just looked at me. Still didn’t eat it, just held it in her mouth. Drop it. No, I don’t want to, but I know you’re going to make me. So I pried open her mouth and took it out. Put it back on her nose, and since she didn’t actually eat it the first time, I gave her the word right away.
You know, as bad as she is, she’s really a stinking obedient dog.
Another aside, the other day she decided that mommy’s squishy pillow in the floor looked really comfy. And she wanted to be really comfy.
Yeah, I won’t be using the pillow anymore, but she was so cute on it. Hmm. I wonder why there’s always an empty water bottle on the floor behind her when I take the pictures. She’s trying to rat us out as slobs, she is.
hehehe, she is too cute!

To say nothing about the scattered papers on the floor, too.
July 11th, 2006 at 6:47 pmtoo cute!
July 11th, 2006 at 7:55 pmWhat a good dogmommy you’ve turned out to be. Mean Lady notwithstanding, you’re doing her a favor by being in control.
I hope I can meet you at Chipotle again the next time you’re in the metroplex. I heart that restaurant.
July 11th, 2006 at 10:24 pmYep. Rowdi’s the one with the problem. No question about it. Ummhmm.
July 12th, 2006 at 2:47 amVery cute!
July 12th, 2006 at 7:53 amHow cute! :) Dogs are so much fun. :) But I still like my kitties too.
July 12th, 2006 at 12:49 pmYour cats look evil and the dog looks depressed.
July 12th, 2006 at 1:56 pmYou won’t be using the pillow anymore just because the dog laid on it? I hope the dog doesn’t lay on Frank anytime soon =D
July 12th, 2006 at 5:16 pmOy, oy John. Heaven save you, but watch your transitives and intransitives. I mean, did you hear about the gay bear who laid his paw on the table?
July 12th, 2006 at 6:36 pmFrank is easier to wash!
July 12th, 2006 at 7:13 pmFull many a gem of purest ray serene
July 12th, 2006 at 9:17 pmThe dark unfathom’d caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
Hmm. I wonder why there’s always an empty water bottle on the floor behind her when I take the pictures.
There can be only 1 logical explanation…Rowdi has a drinking problem!
July 17th, 2007 at 6:46 pmYour doggy is very cute. This is the same trick we used to do with our baby boy but are too lazy to enforce now.
And good for you for being mean lady. I am too! Showing puppy who is boss is much easier when he’s a puppy than when he gets older (harder to flip 80 pounds onto his back than when he was 25 pounds!). Gotta get that respect!
July 17th, 2007 at 6:48 pmRoger, that bear wasn’t gay. He was an intransvestite.
July 17th, 2007 at 9:45 pmToo darned cute, Rowdi is. What a good doggie, letting you get your picture so we all can enjoy the cuteness!
July 18th, 2007 at 10:31 am[…] all know that Rowdi is awesome at the Wait for the Biscuit game (witness). So I realized that I could put the biscuit on her nose and have her undivided attention for […]
