Well, Loki has been a part of the family for 3 whole days and we must say, he's a good boy. Either he's incredibly intelligent or someone has worked with him before, because he is learning pretty quickly. He sits like a champ, knows his name, and is getting better at not jumping on people (even when he does jump, he's not rough … just excited). He's also getting better about staying in the back of the car and not lunging to the front seat every other second. Better, mind you.
We bought him a crate and he settles down after just a few minutes and goes to sleep. We took him to the vet and she said he's still teething and isn't likely to be more than 10 months old.
The funniest thing ever though was when Matt broke a jar in the kitchen and was vaccuming up some of the pieces. Loki went NUTS over the vaccum. We're not sure if he wanted to play with it or kill it, but he barked like mad at it and one point, ran away and hid from it in his crate. He likewise barks at the garage whenever we raise or lower the door. It's a pretty quiet one too.
Yes, my hungry friends … Chili again! But a different chili and something new and different to go along with it … I guess all of this starts back in mid Feb when I went on the ski trip with Mikey (co-worker/friend) and we stopped at the Happy Cooker in George Town, CO. Awesome little lunchy type place where I had some black bean and chorizo soup (or was it chili?) and some jalepeno cheddar bread. YUM! On the way back from Vail (site of the drinking … err ski trip), we stopped again and once again had this yummy yummy meal (and some quiche too, if I remember right). Fast forward to a few weeks ago when we went with Mikey and Holly to Goodwill. There was a breadmaker there for $8. Pretty good considering the cheapest one Target sells is $70. I didn't want to get it, because we already have too many freakin' kitchen appliances, but somehow, we ended up with it anyhow. I think that jalepeno cheddar bread was on both Mike's and my minds.
