Things My Dog Doesn't Like
- Being left alone. Well, yes, you might think that's a given, but about two weeks ago she didn't like being left alone enough to induce 2 days of diarrhea, and prompted a visit to the vet. So yeah. We're working on her office manners, and I now have the perfect excuse to avoid 13 hour days.
- Playing fetch in the field. I don't even know. She used to like it, and now she gets all weird and runs home suddenly across the road. She has no concept of watching for cars at all, so it's super scary, and now we can't play in the field any more.
- Fireworks. She HATES fireworks. Hiding under the table shaking hates them. Refusing to continue on a walk hates them.
- Luggage being carried out to the car. See above. People might be leaving her! She is, however, perfectly happy to go for a car ride to nowhere, as long as she gets to come with me.
- The movie 300. I know it's a bad movie. You know it's a bad movie. And right now my dog is happily chewing apart a dog toy while sitting in front of the tv while a Supernatural ep plays, complete with lots of screaming. We watch zombie movies, and action flicks, and Mythbusters, and she occasionally sits up if there's a dog making noise on the tv, or moves to the other room. But the one night my son tried to watch 300? She climbed on the couch, half sat on me, and fitfully barked until we turned the movie off. At which point she settled. I don't know - maybe she's a closet historian?
