May. 3rd, 2012 05:44 pmYeeeeah, this space is going to be All Dog, All The Time for a little while longer. Anyway, today's success story: she figured out how to play with toys!
It was not the toy I'd been trying to interest her in, but hey, any toy is a good toy. I was hoping it would keep her occupied and non-whiny when we all went off to do other things and left her alone, and in a way, it does. It's just that apparently whining is not only her "I'm so lonely, and I think you all might have died, SOMEONE HOLD ME!" noise, but her "the world is full of rainbows and unicorns and I'm a very happy dog!" noise, because she whines while she plays with the toy. And she whines we she sees one of us come in the door/wake up/otherwise return after more than an hour out of her sight. She just enjoys whining, I guess.
More pictures:

She started carrying it around with her, too, which was utterly adorable, though now she seems to have lost interest. Maybe she'll get to liking it again.

High up on the couch arm. 'Cause she's part cat.
