New Hobby

I decided I needed a new hobby and it was going to be Miss Bug. Yesterday at Chapters I purchased a dog trick book. As a Behavior analyst I understand the how to teach, however, what and how to teach my dog is not something I am familiar with (it is a little different from the skills I teach individuals with autism).

I also think we need to keep our Bug busy (see previous posts for proof of this). So this makes it extra important!

We started last night with Paws Up. She is going to master this in a few days. Will keep you posted!

A message to my Lady - as told my Miss Bug

Dear Lady,

I do not like that you have gone back to work this week. While I didn't like you sitting at home crying, I liked knowing where you were and not being left home with the evil Bagheera and Nin. I was good most of the week while you were gone and communicated my unhappiness but hiding under the bed when you were home.

Then you didn't come home on Thursday. (editors note: The Lady worked out of town one night this week).  You took your bag and didn't take me. I was very upset. I talked to you on the phone, but it wasn't the same. . The man let me have access to my cave during the day and I ate 3 of your books (the man had like 7 or 8 books sitting there as well, but I wasn't mad at him) and chewed part of a nesting doll. I wanted you to know that I don't like it when you go away!

The man was angry at me when he found my big mess. You didn't get to see it because he had cleaned it up.  I was a little bit upset about this, but I was so excited to have you home that I forgot I was mad at you and I just wanted to be with you.

I am glad you were not mad at me for eating your books. I am glad you understand that it has been hard for me to adjust to being an only dog and to not having you at my beck and call. I am glad we could have the best snuggle on the couch ever last night.

I love you,

Look at that smile!

Your Hailey Bug

Drowning Reported - Beaver Saved

Beaver, aged 3 weeks, is the latest victim in in Ottawa home. His body was pulled from the water dish. Lady was first on the scene and was able to pull Beaver to safety and ring him out. He is now resting comfortably. 

Witnesses say several minutes before the body was discovered Beaver was seen playing with Miss Hailey Bug. When asked, Miss Bug said "I left him over here, I told him to be careful, but I guess he didn't listen."  It has been confirmed that Miss Bug was under the bed when Beaver was found. 

Those investigating the crime say it appears it was an accidental almost drowning, although there were clearly signs of former trauma to his body. He had recently required stitches in his back due to "an accident" that occurred while playing with Miss Hailey Bug.  Police continue to investigate. 

A Letter to my people

A specialist in interpreting symbols has provided a reading on this symbol left by Miss Hailey Bug.

Dear People,

While I love you very much (because if I didn't I would make one hell of a bigger mess), I wanted to tell you how much I hate when you take my things from me. I know that you often think the parts of my toys (like the stuffing, or a limb) are garbage but they are mine. Stop throwing them out, or you will pay.


How the specialist came to this:
Lee had ripped up the box that held the garbage bags, but didn't touch the bags.
