Big World, Small Dog

Being a small dog, Daisy has trouble getting on the couch, but we're doing our best to help her out. Tonight while Liz was making dinner, I built a ramp in the garage out of a piece of wood we bought and the rest out of the loft that I owned in college. That loft is coming in pretty handy. She usually just puts her feet up on us and we lift her up. Well we decided to make it easier for her with the ramp and we will no longer be picking her up and no longer be letting her jump off. It just looks like it's hard on her legs and body so we'll encourage the ramp as opposed to jumping. Check out this video of her accomplishments:



Last weekend we had a party for her so she could meet all of our friends and also so she could make new friends. We invited a bunch of dogs over and Dewey came of course, and also our friends dog named Pepper came as well. Dewey is big boy and Pepper is hyper so Daisy was definitely intimidated but after a while they all got along great. Here are a few pictures:

Dewey is a Boozer:

We also have a few more pictures in our web album. The link is on the right under "Clickability". Do it.

Future videos will consist of her burying things in the corner and also her going crazy whenever we sing. The other day I started singing randomly and she was practically sleeping on the couch and all of a sudden jumped up wagging her tail like I was singing to her or about her. So I kept singing and she attacked my face with kisses. So last night Liz and I were talking and I go "OH!! Check this out" and started singing and Daisy again went nuts... So you'll have to see what we mean with a video at some point.

That's all for now... folks!

ps - it says posted by Liz, but blogspot is a filthy liar.

I just read a couple of days ago how bad it is for puppies' legs when they jump off of furniture - it can apparently cause lifelong deformities. So, I'm glad you built a ramp! She looks like she's going to be a very well loved dog!
