We're dog-sitting for my roommate's dad so now we have two dogs running around instead of one. Except that Leah is way calmer than Anklebiter. She's six years old so it's actually funny to see this hyperactive six month old puppy running around her and Leah looking at her like "Oh my God, stop. And stop trying to take my toys."

Leah's stayed with us before but that was last year. So now, we've got Anklebiter acting like a pill (terrible twos stage - for weeks now) and the second Leah cuddles with one of us (she's a big cuddler), guess who comes running and trying to climb on our lap as if to say "Get away! My humans!"?

Yeah, you guessed it. Then there's lots of barking and growling and trying to move Leah and Leah looking at her like "Whatever, I could totally take you." and God forbid if I pet Leah or start to play with her. Then said crazy puppy comes running over andpushes herself in front of Leah as if to say "I don't think so!" They got along over the summer, so maybe it'll just take a bit for them to get back at it. Apparently, last time it took Anklebiter acting like such a brat that Leah snapped at her. *sigh* So here we go.

Well, we've got Leah for three weeks so that should be plenty of time for them to either start getting along or for Anklebiter to get the crap kicked out of her by Leah. Earlier she was provoking Leah and then she'd run to hide behind my legs. The dog version of poking someone until they go ballistic on you.

And here we go. Leah is cuddling up against me and using my leg as a pillow and here she comes to jump up and sniff and lick and poke at Leah for daring to cuddle with one of her humans. (Yesterday was bath day. Can you imagine it? Hoo boy.)

Edit: Okay, make that she's very possesive. I'm typing this with one hand since when Leah burrowed in more, she jumped up and wrapped her paws around one of my arms and is just staring at me and then sometimes licking the arm she's wrapped around.

Oh the puppy is attacking. It's probably because I have her squeaky duck and I keep making it squeak and then hiding it. And then throwing it. Followed by her chasing it, catching it and bringing it back so we can repeat the process. So, you know, fun! LOL.

The other part is when you lay on the beanbag (which she's claimed as hers so when you lay on it, in her eyes you automatically become a pillow) and she'll jump on you and then decide that your chest is the most comfortable part. And she keeps jumping up so I'm going to let her say hi.

Now maybe she'll stop trying to jump on the keyboard.

Also, she's teething and we think she buried both her congs so now she's stuck chewing on her rope and other toys. Or us. She has a thing for going whatever I happen to be wearing at the time - especially my jeans. Or jumping up and trying to catch the edge of my shirt. And she keeps batting at me with one paw the way cats do (she does this a lot) and she stretches like a cat sometimes too.

That's it! Now I'm going back to writing my entry for superkinkfest. It's due tomorrow. Heh. Oops!

*looks at tags* Oh and Annie (though it's pronounced Onnie) is her nickname. Yup.

Sidenote? It's very distracting when you're trying to write and your new puppy is trying to nibble on your toes. And climb on your lap to put her paws on the keyboard so she can type too. (She likes to try and type. Who knew?)

Little anklebiter. (And yes, besides her name, I like to call her Anklebiter. *nods*)
