Gloria lost her first tooth! We noticed she was very nippy Friday night, and Saturday morning two teeth were loose! They were gone by Saturday night, so I played tooth fairy and put a treat under the pillow of her bed. Of course she found the treat, then she spent the next hour noisely scratching at her bed trying to find the other treat. I guess she can count better than I thought, two teeth should equal two treats, right?
She was so disappointed when she didn't find one that she decided she was fighting with the bed and retreated to the couch. She hasn't slept in her bed again yet, I suppose she's still angry with it, for getting only one treat for two teeth!

Gloria Vs. Mommy & Daddy's Hobbies
I've never met any dog who needs attention as much as Gloria. She's discovered what Kyle and my hobbies are and it appears that she is trying to sabotage them so that we'll have more time to spend with her. See exhibits one and two below:
Exhibit 1: Gloria sitting on Kyle's xbox - effectively making him play with her instead of it.
Exhibit 2: Gloria with my running shoe, refusing to release it until I get her leash out as well.

Gloria vs. the Vet
One of my responsibilities as a puppymomma is to take my little girl to the vet every 4 weeks to make sure she gets all of her vaccinations. Today was one of those days.
As she's gotten older, she's gotten more of a personality, and one of her favorite activities of the day is her morning walk/jog with mom. She wags her little butt, runs over to me with my shoe (she can only carry one, since it's almost as big as she is), and sits like a good girl for me to put her leash on so we can go.
Today, she thought she was going on a normal walk when I got out her leash, she got a little confused when I took her a different direction than normal, and by the time I put her in the car, she was more than a bit suspicious. She's on set 3 of her vaccinations, she she's very familiar with the vet and what happens there. She is not a fan.
We pulled up to the vet, I tugged her out of the car, and we checked in at the front desk, with a shaking little Gloria. Vaccinations are 1/2 off on Saturdays, and the majority of the dogs there were little puppies who needed their shots just like Gloria (Although there was one poor dog who was rushed in with a gunshot wound while we were waiting. Only in LA.). Every time one went back and yelped when it got it's shots, Gloria would nuzzle closer to me and shake a little more. To say the least it was a little traumatic.
We got Gloria her shots and headed home (she was a good girl and didn't make a sound when the vet stuck her). Since then, she's been completely lethargic, sleepy, and malleable, most likely due to the combination of the stress of the visit and the shots themselves, so I took the opportunity to play with her and get some cute sleepy puppy photos. Enjoy!
