Toofs and Goofs

"Don't look at me"
No matter how much she tries, Linda will never understand Chimi.  He is such a great dog, really he is.  He's obedient; has a huge vocabulary of words he understands; doesn't have accidents in the house; no chewing or destroying things anymore; eats whatever food is put in front of him; never once barked to come out when put in his room; he's a great walker with tons of energy; he is a super cuddle pooch; Chim is very gentle with all babies and toddlers.. I could go on and on. EXCEPT for his phobias.  He is afraid of the weirdest things.  During our walk tonight the leash wrapped around his backside and got caught under his tail.  At first Linda thought he stepped on a piece of glass or sharp piece of metal because he freaked out crying.  She quick bent down to rescue him and saw what the issue was.  Talk about a drama queen (or king.)  You never know what will set him off.  Could be a plastic bag, crunchy leaf or a kids bike.  She still loves him even though he is goofy.

Speaking of goofy, a weird thing happened to Linda today when she stopped to get a snack before TKD.  She ordered a yogurt at a fast food restaurant.  The cashier took her money and turned around to get the food.  The girl wandered for about 20 seconds with it in her hand, then tossed the yogurt in the trash.  She came back up to the register and said 3-14.  Linda first thought she was telling her a Bible verse... but the cashier was looking at the time on the register and said "3:14, Would you like to order?"  All very bizarre.  A supervisor saw it all and helped finish the order.  Maybe the cashiers coffee break wasn't spent having coffee.

Penelope is teething and had a fussy morning.  Later in the day, Sarah sent Linda this photo.  Looks like her two little top teeth broke though and she was feeling much better.
