Dogs are kind of like kids...

Our labrador has really been testing my patience lately, which in hindsight I guess is a good thing since I will need all the patience I can find once Jelly Bean gets here. But back to the dog...

She has been testing the grounds of getting on the furniture lately which she knows she isn't allowed to do. She does it as stealthily as possible, putting one leg up at a time. We often don't end up noticing until we realize its far too quiet in the apartment.

She's also eating the contents of the bathroom trash - dryer lint, cotton balls, used q-tips (EWW!) and I admit that the fault is mostly on LT and I. I ask that he shuts the bathroom door, which he always forgets to do, and he requests that I just throw everything away in the large trash. Well what is the point of having a bathroom trash then??

I am thankful for her mischief though, as much as it may frustrate me at the time, because she is preparing me for ALLLLLL the things that Jelly Bean is going to get into. So instead of being angry I am going to count my blessings. Its also way too hard to stay mad at that face!
