Cookie Doh!

Just what you want to find when you get home with a migraine.  Notice the blur behind her?  That's her tail.  

Manipulation

I was just reminded that Coda knows how to manipulate me fairly well.  She wanted food.  To get me off the couch (I was checking email - I've been out ALL DAY.  I am NOT LAZY.  Today, anyways.) she walked over to the back door and looked at me.  This is her signal to me that she wants to go and sunbathe on the patio.  I got up, walked over, opened the door, and watched her walk away the look at me like I'm a dumbass.  So I closed the door.  She did this again.  I finally determined she was crying wolf, and then realized it was her afternoon feeding time.  So I fed her.  And then proceeded to get up and go the same motions when she really did want out.

Here's the kicker.  She normally just pesters me to get up, then walks over to her bowl and I realize, 'Oh yeah!  It's food time!'  What was up with today???

Running Amok

Poor Coda's been through a lot, lately.

We moved.  Left the exciting life in downtown Dallas and opted for the 'burbs.  Still no yard, but a patio to sun on and a park with a place I can let her off the leash for a bit.  Plus I've been gone a lot this past month.  Visits to New Mexico, music educator's convention, more visits to New Mexico... poor pup has really gotten to know the boarder.  Thank goodness she likes them!  'Cause she's going back for 3 days over Spring Break... :)  And now I've been sick for 2 weeks.  She needs her walks!  She needs her playtime!  She needs her mama to have energy to handle her needy ways!  And honestly, I'm ready for our walks and playtime to return!  Being sick is no fun.  Thankfully we're on the healing side of the infections, so hopefully the students don't make it worse, and I just continue to get better.  Then we can go run amok on the golf course (off-leash) together!
