No. Not that kind of feet.
We have been dog-sitting for a few weeks.
It has been fun. Mostly.
Babe is a Chihuahua/Daschund mix. She is smart, loves to cuddle on your lap and lick your hands.
There is nothing quite like waking up to the patter of her feet early in the morning. It reminds me of early fatherhood.
Now I know why couples with no children keep dogs.
House dogs are like young kids. You have to constantly think about taking them out for walks so that they can do their toilet. Then you have to pick up after them. And you have to make sure that you feed them properly and on time. No junk food!
And, like very young kids, dogs can’t talk to you, so you have to guess what they want.
Interestingly, dogs (again, like young kids) can sense emotions. So they know if you are unhappy, angry or in the midst of a quarrel. They also know if you are going off on a business trip and will show that they are sad about it.
My best memory of Babe will be that of her dozing on my stomach, while I sleep on the living room couch.
