The 52 Project: Meet Poppy

Ok, at this rate my 52 project is going to end up more like a 37 project. I still don't understand how people take a picture a day for an entire year.

But anyway, on to the next photo: Meet Poppy the Dog. I introduced her in the last post, but that was after just a few days with her. After spending most of the weekend with her I learned these things:

1. She's big, but still timid around other animals... especially Mo the cat.

2. She loves attention, so if you stop petting her expect to get nudged.

3. She'll fetch a ball, but if you throw a stick, she'll run to get it then chew it up.

4. She farts way too much.

5. She'll lay on the couch, but only if you're touching her.

6. When she goes to shake your hand she swings her paw way too hard.

7. If you run, she will chase you.

I really don't have a story for the photos this week. Just hangin out with Poppy. Hope you enjoy them.

Where my Dogs At: The Story of Poppy the Dog.

I'm getting a dog!!

At least for about 10 days that is. My girlfriend's ex-roommate's good friend is getting married so naturally my gf was selected to watch the dog, Poppy. I refer to her as "Poppy the Dog" just to avoid any confusion. Last night was her first night staying over, so of course I had to stay at my girlfriends house for support. You know, if Poppy needed an emergency game of fetch or something serious like that.

Poppy is such a good dog. She always sometimes responds to voice commands and never barks. I tried to get her to jump on the bed/couch/whatever piece of furniture was near when no one was looking but she knew she wasn't allowed up there so she didn't do it. I know, no fun. There was actually an epic standoff last night between Poppy the Dog and Mo, the cat that owns one of my gf's roommates. I was fortunate enough to catch the entire thing. At the end of the day, it ended up being just a staring contest. Poppy was more curious than anything else. I believe photo below is an accurate portrayal of the events:

Anyway, I'm not making any promises but I'm gonna try to incorporate Poppy into my baller lifestyle. Hopefully, pictures to follow!
