Yana...What Can I Say?

Yana is just the strangest/cutest dog at times. Most times though, she's the biggest pain in the rump. She has a unique way of doing most things in life. Some of her quirkiness is out of necessity, but most is out of laziness. For instance, the way she drinks water...

The funny, butt in the air drinking style (as evidenced above), is out of necessity...she has a bad overbite and we just haven't invested in braces yet!! But this on the other hand (2 seconds later)...

Is just plain laziness!!!

My Dogs are Weird!!

I don't know what was up with my dogs this morning, and really starting last night with Foggy. Foggy didn't eat his dinner last night. I only feed him once a day so you'd think he'd be hungry. He was going to sleep in the bedroom with me last night, but he got kicked out. I could hear his tummy growling!! So, I went and brought his food bowl into the bedroom but he didn't touch it. Then he kept putting his front paws up on the bed. So, he got kicked out real quick. But I did put his food outside the bedroom so he could eat.

Well, I got up this morning and he still hadn't eaten. That seemed pretty strange to me. But, whatever. So, I go to get Yana up from her 12 hour sleep. She is acting weird too. She doesn't want to come out of the garage to go out. Instead, she decides to go sit in her dog house (yes, it's still in the garage)! Fine, I just keep the door to the garage open thinking she'll eventually come out into the house. But, nooo. After I make my breakfast, I have to go drag her out and forcefully put her out of the house.

Then I put Foggy out and of course NOW he wants to eat, but he wants to eat Yana's food. I usually try to feed them separately but with Yana's antics this morning, that didn't happen. So, of course, the next thing I notice, Foggy has Yana pinned against the sliding glass door and is trying to do damage. So, I go out there to keep Foggy away from Yana's food. Well, Foggy must be really hungry (you think??) because he starts whining because he wants her food and he kept trying to come at her food from all angles, like I can't see him?? So, I just put the food in the house and let those two crazy dogs go hungry. I bet Foggy will eat tonight when I get home.

They are just weird sometimes!!!

"I'm Going to Pump...You Up!"

Yana loves to carry around my hand weights. She's pretty strong. She can even jump up on the couch while carrying a 10 pound weight! Needless to say, I chose to take pictures of Yana with the weights rather than actually use the weights myself yesterday. I wasn't feeling very motivated!!

I had to throw in a picture of Foggy...I didn't want his feelings to get hurt!!

Yana: King of the Kong

Just had to pass along pictures of my crazy dog Yana. Yesterday she was unusually restless when I got home. So, I decided to tire her out by playing with her Kong. She absolutely LOVES that toy. She is obsessed with it and will chase it and play with it until she passes out if I'd let her. She refuses to stop playing in order to get water. So, she pants very badly and sounds like she could drop at any moment from dehydration.

The good part is she entertains herself with the Kong. She'll lay down and chew it and it will inevitably pop out of her mouth. When this happens she jumps up, stalks and then pounces. She then proudly trots back as the conquering huntress!! Then the whole cycle starts over again. She's nuts (but adorable!). Luckily I have the crazy pills now so I doped her up and put her to bed and she forgot all about her obsession!!
