that girl....

[thoreau]

Miss Kate woke me this morning with the patented powerstare. Who knows how long she'd been awake staring at me - with that look like "you could wake up anytime ya know... there are walks to take, and kibble to be served." - - So I ran her out for a stroll in the neighborhood and came back, and did my best french waiter impression.

Her new bag of middle aged doggy kibble (Beneful) features "new chewy bits" - so it was announced this morning in the french waiter accent as I mixed in the white rice with her food. "today in yo-ehr kib-ehl - deliishush chewybits. why ahr thay chew-ay - i am not so sure - but - the bag ensures me they are the delightful."....

I've been giving Jeff beg1n a lift to the gym in the mornings - it's been really wonderful getting to know him better. The gym went gently this morning since my little stairstumble^tm on Sunday evening. I'll be back to battery soon enough.

I put on about 4 pounds as a result of my Fried Food Tour of Louisiana and Mississippi back in February. So I've been trying to be disciplined and burn it all back off. Never thought I'd see 175 again - so staying there is pretty important. - - - seeing the scale moving up is not a good feeling. I don't think I'm working out intensely enough for it to be "muscle" gain. I'm getting stronger - but not 4 pounds stronger.

I got home and showered and took her out for the lattestroll - - and she started pouting when we got back upstairs to the apartment. So - in my best mommy voice I explained that I need to work to keep her in kibble and treats - and me in kona and chocolate. :)

Hysterically - she looked up at me as if to say "oh - well why didn't say so in the first place."

that girl is too much.....

Yay! and Thank You very much for the morning rides. :)
I don't think I'd go even half as much if left to my own devices.

truth be told - having you to take along - keeps me on schedule too. so it's a win-win. besides the "who have we dated - etc." dish session on the way home (once we're both awake?) is awesome.

Does Ms Katey have particular food preferences or hatreds? Has she ever completely snubbed your kibble offerings as not her preferred brand?

Goof occasionally gave me the You're kidding me, right? look when I bought a different brand of doggy delights. It's a mistake one never makes twice.

Miss Kate is very picky. She LOVES honeydew melon - but hates cantelope. and she just LOVES Beneful. We used to be a kibbles and bits household until a doggy hotel fed her Beneful.
