Sudo takes up Arts and Crafts

Jasper — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:17:57 +0000

I’ve known for a long time that Sudo was creative. Today, he had a brilliant idea; he was going to make a pillow. He doesn’t let his lack of thumbs get in his way – that’s one of my favourite things about him.

Could I use this as a pillow?

I think I could, but I've got to be super smooth and subtle.

Knew it! Perfect. This OK with you, Dad?

Yep, I’m one of those people who pretends to be their pets’ parent. I’m also one of those people who narrates their animals’ lives whilst self-referencing in the third person. We’ve all seen the “Look Who’s Talking” movies. I was brainwashed, man.

Friday Night Water Fights

Everyone knows that dogs love water. They love it. Sudo is no exception – not even one that proves the rule.

This ain’t my real bowl

“Seriously, guys. I don’t want to cause any trouble. I’ve tried to eat as much as I can, but I just do not trust this bowl. It doesn’t even look like my normal bowl. If you could just get it fixed, we won’t have a problem.”

Sudo attempts swimming. Enjoys.

He might’ve been encouraged somewhat, but it’s still cool to see. Unless you don’t like dogs. Or water.

Super busy, codey week. No time for photos like I’d like.

Hang from washing line. Steal nuts.

a stroke of inadvertant genius

Jasper — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 07:10:24 +0000

I’m not sure if the inadvertant property invalidates genius, maybe “a stroke of luck” would be a better phrase, but probably not as good a click-winner. Whether dogs have this feature innately or not is something I don’t know, but Sudo has finally perfected “Boltface“. If you’ve seen the movie “Bolt” where Penny teaches Bolt how to look cute and sad to get food, it appears to have rubbed off on Sudo, too. We are delighted.

Look at the state of that kitchen floor! Do you guys have a dog or something?!

playing in the garden

Sudo is now 16.5 weeks, and he’s changed so much. He’s super clever, and so energetic. Walking is much better, interaction with other dogs is greatly improved, and house training is about 95% success. I almost understand why people have children – such a sense of satisfaction watching them learn behaviour you want them to adopt.

Anyway, we’re now playing in the garden and he loves it. It tires him out, too, which means that we love it!

iPhone Scrape; Cat Edition

Another stupid iPhone photos post.

Tasteful interior at puppy classes.

Amelie usually stands on my shoulders, but today she got comfortable, and freakish-eyed about why she could see her reflection in 2 places, I guess.

I don’t know if this is a cat thing, but she likes to hide behind things, but wonders where her tail has come from. Attacks usually ensue.

Sudo @ 14-and-a-bit weeks

It’s nearly scary how much better-behaved he’s getting. If we’re in the kitchen with him (still don’t trust him to make it outside from the lounge in time) and doing something else, he’ll quite happily sit by us and nap or play or coerce us into playing. He’s gone, very quickly, from quite frequently being a pain in the ass, to hardly ever. Dogs are great.
