Doggie, Toddler
Mochi was born July 11, 2004 (7/11!) This makes him 17 months old this month, effectively in doggie adolescence, but for us he's still a toddler. And as parents of toddlers are sometimes obsessed with their children's bathroom habits, we too can be obsessed with Mochi's bowel movements.
I took him out this morning to go pottie and he was sniffing around in the cold and snow. He went fast as it was so cold (I could see him shiver) and immediately turned around and wanted to go back home. We usually walk around the block, but he went #2 just around the corner and wanted to go back. I obliged and we hustled back home to where it was warm.
Last night we lit the fireplace and lay in front of it. It was surprisingly warm and very nice to look at. Thank goodness for gas, though we probably won't be using the fireplace as much as we want this season, it was nice to have it last night. Mochi's living room bed is right in front of the fireplace and he made the most of it, stretching out in front of the fire and not having to curl up to stay warm.
