Giant puppy

Just need to take a moment to reflect on the fact that Wiki once looked like this:



She still tries to cuddle in my lap, but it doesn't work quite as well.

My mommy starves me

Wiki is pretty much always hungry, even though I feed her way more than it seems like I should have to feed. (She's still skinny, and she's SO active, so I figure she can have it as long as she isn't bloating or getting fat.) She likes to tell me how hungry she is by pawing at her food canister, digging and chewing at her crate, and then pulling everything out of her crate. This morning she didn't eat all her breakfast right away and I almost had a panic attack, but in general things usually look something like this....

Apples

Wikie loves apples. Food and toy all in one...what's not to love?

Of toys and kitty cats

Kongs

I'm ready to start serving all of Wiki's food in a kong. Takes her more than five seconds to eat things that way, which gives me a few moments of peace and quiet. Freezing up plain yogurt and pumpkin puree makes up a nice combo. Kibble and veggies also works nicely. Peanut butter, frozen or not, is always great. Tried a little bit of apple sauce once and it made a mess. Would like to try oatmeal and cream cheese at some point, too (not together). Other kong ideas appreciated :)

Halloween

My grandmother sent me this Halloween card, and I'm pretty sure it is one of the best cards I've ever received! It makes me smile, so thought I would scan and share :)

Hiking Runyon

Wiki and I have started going hiking (off leash) on Sunday mornings with our new human and doggie friends. We absolutely love it and it is going to get both of us in shape. And, it actually gets Wiki tired...an amazing feat. Photos of our first hike are posted--thanks to Connie, the very best hiking buddy!

In other news....

Wiki got microchipped this week.
She is almost done with her beginning agility class and is doing very well!
Tomorrow (super early) we are going on our second off-leash hike. This will hopefully tire her out for the day so that I can nap and rest.

Jumping Bean

My dog is seriously insane. She has just discovered that she can jump really really high. And apparently thinks that it is a lot of fun. She jumped onto my picnic table to try to steal cheese and crackers. Then she jumped on my desk to try to steal clothes. Seriously?? At first, I was cracking up. But now everything I own is in danger and it seems a little less funny....I swear, a weim will always find a way to get into trouble!

Addendum: she just opened my screen door slider by herself...
Glad we're going hiking and gonna tire her out tomorrow.
