A Month With Pebbles ...

We've had Pebbles with us for close to a month and I must say she's become a big part of the family. She's also become so used to us and the place that she doesn't go around exploring the entire house like she used too. She has even found her own 'personal' space where she hangs out when Mrs. Spiff and me are online, which is either under the chair between our legs ... LOL!

She's such an adorable dog who hardly gives Mrs. Spiff and me any trouble at all. In fact, I think she has us wrapped around her paws doing her bidding for her (yes, Anny you're absolutely right about this). Anny said that she's not our pet but that we're her pet and she's absolutely right. She's got Mrs. Spiff and me scurrying around the place feeding her, cleaning up after her, bathing her, cleaning the room so she has a clean place to hang out and buying her loads of treats ... LOL! Yes, she really is the master around here.

Another thing we found out about her is that she's pretty good at sulking. Like I said earlier, she hardly gives us trouble, all she wants is to hang around us and for us to play with her. But there are times when Mrs. Spiff and me are busy with our online stuff and ignore her. That's when she would sulk. You can even hear her sigh. she would go to one quiet corner and lie there facing the wall with this sad look upon her face.

Both Mrs. Spiff and me would look at each other and go 'Awww man, she's sulking again'. The next thing you know Mrs. Spiff will swoop her up in her arms to pamper her. Damn, even I don't get that kind of treatment. Maybe I should go sulk in a corner too ... LOL! That dog sure has us wrapped around her paws and that's a fact. She knows how to manipulate us with absolute ease.

But I must say that both of us are really attached to her. Anytime we don't see her around us, we'll be looking for her. She keeps us both company all the time and follows us around everywhere we go. When either of us are bathing, she'll be waiting patiently outside the door until we're done. When we're in the kitchen cooking, she'll be right at our feet getting in the way. When we're watching TV, she'll be at our feet or on the couch asking for a tummy rub. And at night when we finally sleep, she'll head to her place under the bed to lay down for the night.

I don't think I'll ever get used to not having her around and I do hope that my boss will one day say, 'hey Nick, you can keep her!' Now that would be awesome but somehow I doubt that would happen ... siggghhh ... Not to be disrespectful to my boss or anything but I think the poor girl would like it here more than with him cos she has company all day long unlike at his place where she's all on her own the whole day and locked in the bathroom when he's back.

We'll see how it goes. Since she's still staying with us, Mrs. Spiff and me will enjoy every moment of her company. Right now she's curled under Mrs. Spiff's chair snoozing away, a sight to warm the heart :D I've got loads of pictures of her that I'll post in my next post right after I look into this Outer Banks foreclosures that I'm suppose to have done a long time ago. I don't even know what an outer banks foreclosure is to begin with ...LOL!
