It’s been a rough week. Tiny Dog is clearly not burning off
enough energy, which means she turns into a holy terror. The most commonly heard
phrase around the house this week has been, “Keep it up Tiny and you’ll be a Sarah
MaClachlan dog again.” Obviously it’s an empty threat, which is probably part
of the problem. She’s on to me.
Do you remember the cartoons that would have a character pondering
what to do and a little angel would appear over one shoulder and a devil over
the other? With Tiny, the devil seems to win, a lot. As in, the devil probably
sold tickets to the fight and showed that angel no mercy.
I swear this dog has multiple personalities. One minute she
is sweet and lovey and snuggling with you. The next she launches herself onto
to Lil Dog and hangs from her jowls. Or one minute you are petting her and the
next she is biting the crap out of you. You can see it in her eyes the moment
the ref calls the match and declares the devil the winner. This is when she
becomes the chupacabra.
I’m relieved that Tiny Dog will have her last round of shots
on Monday. Our first stop after the vet will be the dog park. Hopefully she will
burn off some energy and put the chupacabra to rest.
Anyone else have a dog that seems torn between good and
evil?
