Dog Sitting
I'm dog sitting for a friend who has taken a cruise up to Alaska. I don't really understand dogs - at least this one - as I'm a cat person and grew up with cats most of my life.
Elsie is a Shitsu (sp?), a little dog with quite a neurotic personality (although it seems like all small dogs are neurotic). Let me give you a couple of examples. When I walk Elsie she will continue peeing and marking her territory long after she has emptied her bowels. What's up with that? And she's got this thing for large dogs. She'll go after dogs ten times her size. Doesn't she know she'll get the shit kicked out of her? For the life of me I can't figure what she is barking at half the time. She is very fond of barking and I've threatened to throw her out of my apartment.
There are a couple of endearing things about Elsie though. She likes to sleep on my bed at night. Theo, my old cat also used to sleep on my bed at night. I guess as long as I'm not getting any pussy its nice to have company even if it is of the canine variety. Elsie also has this endearing way of looking at me when I call her name. She has a quizzical, sometimes goofy look about her that is accentuated by her upper bite.
I have to walk Elsie three times a day, which is a pain in the ass except for the fact that all these cute girls come up to me because they're so fascinated by her. I like to think think Elsie is the excuse they use to talk to me but I don't flatter myself.
I'll be taking care of Elsie for the next week. Hopefully she and I can accomodate one another until her owner comes back.
