10 Things My Dog Sitter Should Know About My Dog!

Dear future dog sitter here are 10 things you should know about my dog:

1. She has 728 vocalizations. Nothing she does is ever quiet, asleep or awake.
2. She loves human beds. She will settle into one and stick to it like glue even if you command her to leave or attempt for hours to get her down.
3. She always dozes off in a sitting position. Giving in to sleepiness or tiredness is like admitting defeat, as far as she is concerned. She ends up falling asleep while sitting on a chair or couch, or leaning on a window.
4. She waits until you are done with your meal before she starts with hers. Blame it on the day I gave her a table scrap. Although it has been over a year, she still stares at me in wait while I eat.
5. She panics whenever she farts. Considering that it is released from her own backside, her startled and confused reaction, although momentary, has not changed even after three years.
6. She acts weird about her tail. Touch it and she will immediately jump up and chase after it.
7. She whines to be let outside, whether she needs to go or not. She gets into this mode when she is lacking in attention, exercise, or play.
8. She pesters house guests for attention. Although trained to be polite, she starts nudging and whining to be petted and praised once she becomes familiar with the guests.
9. She is into mud and water puddles. Although generally behaved while on a leash, she will run towards bodies of mud or water along the way.
10. She does not mind a hosing off after splashing in the mud. In fact, she loves it, unlike taking a proper bath, which she dislikes.
