Dog booty ?

My dog is getting really old... and one of the problem of getting old is the fact her hind legs is really weak, and causing issues when she want to stand up - especially right after she wakes up.

So... I decided that she needs help - to get a grip. I wanted to look for things I've seen that covers the dog's feet up - w/ a little bit of robber padding to help with the grip.

So I searched: "Dog booty" in google.
Not getting too many results (and some weird results) I complained to Chris.

Chris : why are you looking for dog booty ?

me: Well - b/c Brandy needs it.

Chris : huh ?

me: you know - those things that wraps around her paws to give her grip.

Chris: Oh you mean booties !

me : ... then - what's a booty ?

Chris: That's butt. Why are you looking for dog butt ?

me < --- speechless.

and proceeds to complain about the English language... and look for dog booties.

Brandy will get her booties while I am in town :)

A failed attempt to understand my dog

My dog - my old old dog of 15 and 8 months of age approaches me, stared at me intensely.

Figure she wants out - I let her out..

After 1 minute - she barks and waits outside of the door to be let in.

Ok. that's not it.

She continues to walk back and forth and then stop . stare. walks away. walks back. stare.
As if in the old tv show - where Lassie wants Timmy to see something. Just slower.

When she walked away - I went to check to see if she is at the door waiting. Nope. Found out that she wants more food as she stares at the garbage intensely.

I am a failed dog interpreter. At least for my dog.

Tho - this morning, I clearly understand that she wants food - as I saw for the first time - in ages - she drooled - at the sight of my dad eating a banana (which she doesn't like). She stopped staring at me and her mouth just went open and drip.... drip...

I can't stop laughing. But its bananas!!!

Maybe its b/c its my dad. Perhaps in a dog's world, the pack leader can keep the good stuff, where the non pack leaders simply should share. I am the non-pack leader who shows up once in a while.

She ignores me.
