It's Darwin's nine month birthday today! Nothing exciting happening since its cold and rainy outside. Darwin acts like the wicked witch of the West from Wicked when it rains. Even if it's not raining but the ground is wet, she shakes her whole body as if she's drenched. We bought her a coat for the cold and the rain (I need to get a picture of that) and it helps somewhat, but she still acts as if she's going to melt by the rain if she steps outside. So for her birthday I stopped at the pet boutique again and got her a cookie and a bully stick.
She thoroughly enjoyed this cookie, mouthing it for a good minute or two before actually eating it. It was a mess. Then she got her bully stick. Here's the thing with bully sticks, she really likes them, but the problem is they make her SOOOO gassy! She's already pretty gassy as is, but with bully sticks she's like a constant gas leak. It's awful! So now she can only get them on special occasions.
Darwin and I went for a long walk one day (2+ miles round trip) so I could go pick up some clothes I had dropped off at the alteration place. The store next to the alterations place is a cute little pet boutique store, Mes Amis. So I stopped in to get Darwin a treat since she was walking so nicely on the leash.
As soon as I had paid she was ready for her treat, so I handed it to her and she was soooo happy to have it. Of course we still had a mile to walk to get home and she proudly walked the entire way home with her new treat in her mouth. She did of course try to stop a few times to eat her treat, but we made it home. As soon as we reached the front gate though, she seemed more excited that she made it home and forgot about her treat, dropping it, leaving it for me to bring in.
