Kunoichi: Doggie Ninja

Just kidding. I watch a lot of tv and that seems to be one thing that writers do a LOT and viewers never like. Seriously? What was the point of that DH? Additionally…the Bones season finale completely jumped the shark. At first I was excited because of all the stuff that had just happened, but less than an hour later I was confronted with thoughts of “wait….what?”. I also found the season finale of How I Met Your Mother kind of meh. To be fair, i watched it between Bones and House (I love you Tivo!), so it was clearly overshadowed by drama. Speaking of House…I only saw the last 20 minutes, but I was in tears. I think Fox is trying to kill us emotionally. Next up, Gossip Girl (Tivo), Grey’s Anatomy and Lost. By Friday I may not be able to express emotions, they might be all sucked away. I might just be living in a constant state of “huh…wait…what…to who…polar bears?” Good thing there’s no BSG this Friday. I’m not sure I could take it.

BTW, Battlestar Galatica (reimagined) is like my new obsession. I’m racing through the dvds and am currently on disc 3 of 2.5 and have already seen large chunks of season 3. My ex has told me I should be ashamed for watching the current season before I catch up..don’t care. It’s a gigantic puzzle and I love it.

In OTHER NEWS (and really the point of the post)…ICHI’S 7 MONTHS OLD TODAY. You can all go “awww” now. In her 6th month of being alive she has proven to be an enemy to linoleum, flip flops, and sunglasses. Oh, she’s also clearly wanting to eat/drink everything that I eat/drink…aka, she’s developed an unnatural obsession with tomatoes and coca cola. I kid you not. If I leave the room and there happens to be grape tomatoes or a coke on the end table, you best believe I’ll hear a crash before I get back in. Additionally, she seems to want cucumbers. I’ve somewhat combatted this problem by replacing the cheese in her diet…with carrots. I figure, when I’m going to the fridge to get something like a cucumber, the baby carrot is roughly the same shape and proportion so she thinks she’s getting one too. Plus, it takes her forever to eat one, which kind of works out for me.

I’ve also had a lot more people recognize her breed, which is weird to me now. And she’s almost over the compulsion to chase the ducks/birds while on a leash. There are too many babies right now, I can’t let her. The compulsion to run the Shiba 500 at every opportunity is not gone however.

And again, the high is 88 for today. It’s getting warm.

Well, Ichi graduated from her beginner class yesterday. She probably thinks it’s like a high school graduation and doesn’t realize that it’s more like kindergarten graduation and that she pretty much passed with like a 61.

And it never failed, when I needed to hear anything the trainer said, someone would walk up to me and ask what kind of dog she was. I swear this happened about 4 times while I was sitting there.

Successfully learned: sit, lie down, get down, leave it, take it, rollover, sit up, and COME. We already knew spin, turn, and shake. The vet says we are better tempered when boarded too. (Since I didn’t want to retype this, you just get large pictures from LJ land instead of nice clean thumbnails. Sorry.)

WARNING MANY MANY PICTURES AFTER THE CUT.
