Ode to the Doglet.

Have I mentioned recently how obsessed I am with my dog? Really. She's so cute. SO cute! She's so small she's almost not like a real dog at all. It's true. And she has outfits. Because if you're so small you're not like a real dog at all and you live in my house you're going to have outfits. It's just the way things are. And she does this thing where she just sits there and stares at you with her big brown eyes and her ears all back until you're all awwww and you go to pet her and she pounces on your arm and chews like there's no tomorrow. It's so cute. Did I mention I call her kitty? This has no relevance to the previous statement but it's true nonetheless. And she sleeps all snuggled up to my butt at night. And the other day I woke up and she was snuggled into my arm with her little face sort of between my shoulder and my neck. I mean how cute is that?! Oh, and she gets into her little strawberry house and jumps around until it tips over and then she peeks out at you from underneath. And then she steals Kohsuke's socks and underwear and runs back into her house with it. She's a little strange. But so cute! Oh, and she hops. A lot. All over the place. Like now for instance. Because I'm sitting on the bed with the laptop which is obviously so wrong of me she is currently jumping around the bed trying to get my attention. Hop, hop, hophophophophophop! The best part are the flopping around of the ears. She can totally stay.

I have about 30 pictures of her on my cell phone. And I show them to my students. And they're japanese so they have to pretend to care. This is so the place for me.
