kibble

hmmm, there's nothing much to write about if it isn't about my puppy, at least not in the last few days. canuckian and i went out on wednesday - the first time we've been out of the house since we got chili on sunday - for dinner with a friend. we went christmas shopping afterwards but bought things for ourselves! today we had lunch with another friend followed by more shopping, and again it was for ourselves or for chili. he ABSOLUTELY LOVES to chew; i found him some rawhide chews in the shape of slippers! very cute. he barked at it when he first saw it but now loves gnawing on the thing.

we're also try to distance ourselves from him, so that he gets used to being alone some of the time. because everyone's at home for the holidays he has been quite spoiled with the constant company. he whines alot when we're not there and like a child crying, your first instinct is to go to it (though with some children my instinct is to run away!), but we have to resist the urge and let him be alone for a while.

anyhoo, this christmas is pretty low-key; my parents might be having mah jong activities at the house tomorrow, but canuckian and i don't really have any plans. just waiting to open presents i guess!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! may you all have a wonderful time with your friends and loved ones; all the best for 2006!
