Roo News (Roos)

Since we got Roo a month ago, she's been steadily getting cuter--day by day, moment by moment. So, here is a quick post to tide you over until we have time for something more substantial (because it's almost mid-term and things are getting busy at school, but I promise to fill you in soon about how I've agreed to perform in our school's drag show in April [YES, you read that correctly!] and about the textbook I'm trying to write but am not being very quick about and am constantly procrastinating [see evidence, this blog post]).

But Roo. Well, she's the bees knees. Last week, she graduated from puppy pawsibilities class at Anything is Pawsible, and she was a straight-B student (B is for "bones" [ha!]).

Getting her diploma
She learned a sit, down, and wait, and she's gotten very good at all of them. She also had some major playtime with the other puppies in class. Look at her run!


At home she's constantly exhibiting her übersonic snoring capabilities. Like, X-Men snoring capabilities. Check it out (and don't turn up your volume too much or you'll blow out your subwoofers).


Other than that, the three of us haven't been up to much. Roo's better at riding in the car, and she's got a cool seat cover that she really likes to roll around on. She's had two baths at Soggy Paws and she has also gotten a half dozen new toys that she absolutely did not need.

Here's her playing with a toy my friend's daughter picked out for her:



And here's a picture of her lazily playing with something called a "monkey stick" (Trevor had just left the house, though, and she knew I was only trying to get her to play with the monkey as a distraction. She wasn't buying it.):



She's become a good walker, and Trevor takes her to check out our neighborhood.

But, she's still kind of a lazy puppy, and she likes to hang out at home.

Hanging out Sunday night (missing puppy class)
She's gained some good weight and has gotten a little taller. Odds are that our next post will show her even bigger, so stay tuned! (and good night.)
