Akira gets below an F!

So last night I was home alone with the pups. and they were feeling sad and deprived because both max and i worked all day on monday and tuesday and they didn't get the usual amount of attention. Tyco didn't get his usual time on the suede couch, akira didn't get to throw as many fits as usual. so yesterday, i was exhausted. tuesdays are extremely long days for me and work has been stressful lately (7 weeks to go!!) and they didn't get much love unfortunately. apparently, that idea was not agreeable to akira. i went to bed around 10 and that's about when she started up. 'yip' wait a few minutes 'yip' wait a few minutes 'yip' .... arg! so i go downstairs to learn they have food and water in the bowls and akira is standing on the lower level of the deck staring incredulously at the door. (how dare we leave her alone all day and she doesn't get a walk tonight! walks are a whole other story) so i give them some roast beef from the party on sunday and go back to bed, determined to ignore her and not to reward the naughty behavior any more. so i doze for a while and then 'yip' it starts again. 'yip'.....'yip'......'yip' i'm going to ignore her. i can do that. 'yip'......'yip' oh my god the neighbors must be annoyed. 'yip'.....'yip'... finally at 2 am i couldn't stand it. back downstairs. this time food and water were empty. when did they eat? who knows, i never heard them inside. so i fill the bowls. and miss princess akira got a stern lecture.. 'you have food, you have water, you are waking up the entire neighborhood and your mother and this has to stop.... GO TO SLEEP!!' her grade is BELOW F! that must have gotten through because she was quiet for the rest of the night and completely passed out when i left the house this morning at 6:30. tonight she was a little punchy but we'll see how she does.

Bring your pups to Work Day

The pups spent the day at Gearhead Camera. The shop was hot (as usual), so Tyco needed to do a little "airing out. Or maybe he's just dreaming about being on the Siberian Bobsled team?"
