A new Elka-ism

Every once in awhile, the quirks of this dog just amuse me to no end. To some degree, I'm sure I'm "that" dog owner, you know, the one who thinks her dog is the only one ever to do such a thing. But, this is why I blog, so there (or dlog [portmanteau of dog + blog], as my fiancé would have me say). I have a new one to share.

Product Review: NutriSource Soft & Tender Lamb Dog Treats

Chewy.com offered us the opportunity to try Nutrisource Soft & Tender Lamb Dog Treats. It's hard to say no to treats! We use them for training and just plain living (Elka is particularly fond of her post-potty treats and her bottle return treats), so it's nice to try a variety of treats with good ingredients, made in the USA!

I might as well share it too: Doberman Playing with Baby

Obviously, I feel the Doberman needs all the good press it can get. Well, within reason. I don't want a breed popularity explosion like the Dalmatian or the Chihuahua did after certain movies came out.

But, this has (or is perhaps in the process of?) gone viral and it's worth discussing.

Elka, I don't know why you're doing this.....

The other day, we were on the couch, waiting for friends to make a quick Walgreen's run, and waiting for our ordered Chinese food to arrive. (By the by, we can order from our favorite Chinese restaurant online now, using the Eat24 web site [which apparently also has an app, and gives you funny things to Tweet when you've placed your order], which coupled with Domino's makes me feel as though we're living in a more Jetson's future as the days go by.)

My fiancé  lay down with a blanket for the duration, and Elka lay with him. She cuddled under the blanket, and put her head on his foot. Then she slowly moved his foot with her head, perhaps for more comfort? More space? We weren't sure, and thought to blog about it. She also put her very cold nose on his bare ankle. He was thrilled.

Monday Mischief: The Joys of Dog Ownership

So, I may or may not have a Doberman hair in my toe like a splinter. As you might imagine, it's hard to see based on light, and I might be hallucinating. Not to worry, I'm not going to post a picture of my right big toe for your perusal. Or the sole of my left foot. Yup, two. It's so awesome.

But really, our dogs sometimes put us through a lot.
