none-opus


kim: after four months, peanut finally chewed a leg off of her octopus. within minutes, all 8 were gone. but up until that point, it had held up remarkably well.

problem solving skills


peanut needs to develop her problem solving skills. instead of finding a solution to her problem, such as figuring out how to get the ball out from under the radiator, she whines, and then i have to get it for her.

this bag of peanuts weight 29.0 lb.

hmmm...now that i think of it, maybe her problem solving skills are just fine.

peanut: uh-ohhh...looks like i'll have to do my sad little puppy dog eyes again.

self serve counter


kim: peanut took it upon herself to get a bag of treats (full bag minus about 3 bits) down from the table in the basement and eat the whole thing. piggly wiggly.

tally: $895.94 (but i need to go to the store again, so that'll go up shortly)

--

peanut: they were lip-smackin' good!

fetch


kim: peanut is teaching herself (or maybe me) the game of fetch. kinda sorta. she mostly brings things over to play tug with, but if i throw the squeaky octopus or a tennis ball, she'll go get it and - sometimes - bring it back so i can throw it again.

peanut: i like the pink breast cancer balls the best.

mitten carcass


kim: peanut tore up my warmest mitties. this is not a complete tragedy, as they were several years old and well worn (note the palms). still, it's sad to come home and find your toastiest mitts with their guts pulled out.

--

peanut: but they were stuffed. just like a chew toy.
