Doggie Ladies
Having dogs has really been a wonderful thing for Dan and I. We are getting out more, waking up earlier and while we do have more dog fur everywhere, I like to think that its a constant reminder of all the love in our apartment. Its almost like the dogs are our children, we kiss them, hug them, love them and fuss with them every available chance. They sleep on the bed with us and snuggle on the couch when we watch TV or are knitting. Like new parents with children we have also taken more photos of them in two weeks than we have of the two of us in 18 months.
Two days after we got her, Stymie promptly went into heat. We had planned all along to get her fixed and we figured that since dogs are only in heat twice a year, that we'd be fine until her appointment in early March. No such luck. We gamely put dark sheets on the couch and the bed and when she was really messy, I dug out an old pair of sparkley underware, cut a hole for her tale and she wore panties for a day.
The doggie ladies are incredibly cute. In fact, they are some of the cutest doggies on the planet, at least in our eyes. We love both dogs equally but Nemo is definitely the "cute" one. Here she is looking like a little goddess in her pink collar.
The reason that Nemo is the cute one is that Stymie has a worse underbite than she does. You heard correctly, both dogs have horrible underbites and it juts their jaws out funny. I had horrors of doggie orthodontia when we got them but the vet said that they were just fine as is. Its a little hard to make out in this shot because the dogs, like kids, are always moving, but the lower teeth are at least half an inch in front of their upper teeth.
Lastly, having pets, as many people well know, is a prime opportunity to come up with pet names. Since the doggie ladies are so silly, I've given them many silly names including "Stime Bag" for Stymie, in tribune to Dime Bag Darryl, and Nemo "The Bambino" as Nemo is our little "Dogfather" wannabe. Silly rhymes are also popular like Nemo-Femo, Nemo-Steamo and Nemo-bo-bimo. Once in a while we even remember to "put your styme on your money and your money on your styme."
Stymie and Nemo love to give kisses to Mommy and unlike Daddy, I don't wipe my face and complain that they are gross. Oh, I know Dan loves them and just him allowing them to kiss his face is a big step that I'm happy about. And besides, what could be better than happy doggie kisses??
