"Do your business"

Mel has picked up some dog sitting through our friend Jen. She will be able to make some extra cash by helping out this Dr. who has at least 3 overnights a month. So this weekend she has her first sleep over with the pups. The owner of these pups is very particular and gave Mel a 15 page manifesto on how to take care of her dogs. It is quite funny but hey some people really love their dogs.
Over in my neck of the woods we have a house guest this weekend. Sophie our friend's lab is staying at my place. The only reason she is staying is because she has an injured leg and our friends wanted her to be around a dog who would not be playful. That is where my old lady Ramona comes in. Since she is 12 1/2 she does not do much anymore so it was a safe bet she was not going to get Sophie all riled up. A couple of days before Sophie came to stay she came over to have a meet and greet with HC. This went fine, I am not sure HC can tell Ramona and Sophie apart. He just sees another submissive lab he can bully. Sophie is getting the same treatment as Ramona. The usual swipe from the table as she walks by, and the cat hug/attacks that HC likes to give Ramona. It has been quite amusing. We got some video of this. As you can see HC is quite bold. Luckily, like Ramona, Sophie is such a pacifist she does not care. We are not sure if HC is licking, pecking or biting Sophie.




The one quirk Sophie has been exhibiting is lack of poopage. Not sure where she is keeping it but she has only pooped once since she has been here and has eaten like 4 times. Our friends said that when we are outside with her say, "Sophie, do your business." Well guess what, that does not work. Mel and I are walking around the park following Sophie around with a poop bag saying "Sophie, Do your business." We look like idiots.
Meanwhile Ramona has pooped like 8 times. Thats my girl.
Finally, I bought a rack for my car and became an official REI member. I think that should at least get my score from 89% to 95% on the Facebook, "How Gay Am I" quiz. The Honda Fit is now Kayak and Snowboard ready. I gave myself a pat on the back after installing it all by myself in 1 1/2 hours, typically this is a 2 person job. Car racks just make the car look cooler, but it is BS how much they charge for those things. Really there should be a discount for the labor it takes to get two bars on the top of your car.
