this little dog
continues to be
the source
of as much
jocularity
as challenge
she absolutely loves
to be tucked in my shirt
she really thinks my bras
are wrong
because they don’t have 3 cups
one for her :o)
I had a bit of a day
with her yesterday
she didn’t eat or drink
for most of the day
and frankly
that’s too long
when you only weigh
3.5 lbs
so before I went
to bed last night
she and I and a eye dropper
had a wee discussion
around some water
she doesn’t like it much
but it works for me
and belies the concern
I hold for her health
when she doesn’t drink
this morning
she was tucked in my shirt
like a kangaroo
and I went into the kitchen
to make my breaky
completely forgetting
she was there
I got about half way finished
constructing my breakfast
and all of a sudden
she steps out
of the front of my shirt
and onto the counter!
“what’s for breaky mom?”
I have a couple
of small bottles of
essential oils…
one is eucalyptus
and one
is jasmine
I mostly use the eucalyptus
to stave off migraines
and the jasmine was a gift.
So with Pixie still occasionally
using potty pads
(most specifically
when I’m out
and she has to go)
I’ve been known
to put a cotton ball
with a drop of eucalyptus
near the pad
to stave off the stink
as it were…
Pixie doesn’t like eucalyptus
so she pretty much leaves them alone
Today
just for shits n giggles
I put out a cotton ball
with a couple of drops
of jasmine oil
She ate it.
sheeeit.
Now what?
