Have you made your New Year’s Goals Yet?
It’s a cockapoo.
Is that even a real dog?
Half cocker spaniel, half miniature poodle.
Six pounds of fluff and big eyes and curiosity.
Puppies sleep a lot.
Except when they don’t.
She likes to get up every couple of hours and roam the house.
Ten weeks old and she’s mostly potty trained.
Except when she’s not.
Zoe.
Changed from Cookie, though Dot and Poppy were in consideration.
I didn’t get to pick the name.
It’s not my dog.
Les got it for #10.
I just get to watch it on the overnight shift, when I’m not spending my 3- 12’s over the weekend.
I get to babysit. I get to walk, and feed and go on poop patrol.
I am the Cockapoo’s maid.
BUT
On the bright side, at least the dog likes me.
Wags her tail every time I walk into a room and she catches sight of me from whatever distracted her.
AND
Staying up late means I get to binge on some television.
