Puppy Love

Howie is on the left, Phyllis is on the right.

My life is a bit pitiful. My dog, Howie, has twice weekly playdates with my friend's dog, Phyllis. They spend between nine and ten hours together while I'm at school. The two of them are so cute together. They run around, chase each other, fight over toys, chase each other some more, bark at the door, and then collapse before starting the fun all over again. By the end of the day, they're both exhausted. Howie usually spends the next day passed out on the couch.

The flipside to these fun-filled days is that they are now learning each other's bad behaviors. Howie has started nipping at my hand when I try to put on his leash. Phyllis has started roughhousing with her owner and barking at hallway noises. They emptied my bathroom trash one day and chewed the contents to bits all over the living room.

Too bad they won't be making cute little hairy tan puppies anytime soon!

As I post this, they are both lying down next to each other on the couch. They just finished a round of WWF wrestling and some bite contest. Now, they're just panting and falling asleep.
