Pixel The Olympic Jumper

Ok two things first:

1) Ignore the mess in my house, it was when I was all sleep deprived, so there was no cleaning happening.

2) Ignore me and my doggy talk, it had to be done.

So yeah, those two things aside… you can see that Pixel is still as spazzy as ever.  When she was a pup she used to stand next to the sofa jumping over and over and over until you picked her up.  We thought as she got older she’d get better at the sofa-jump, but she hasn’t.    She always jumps too soon or just doesn’t put enough effort into it.  Sometimes when she really wants something, like if we throw a treat on the sofa or we get the vacuum out, she is up there lickity split, but just every day getting up there – it’s not pretty.

I know she has legs that are shorter than the average dog, but I’m not sure how that affects her timing.  Pretty sure she’s just not too bright.  Thank god she has her looks going for her!

    • Oh it’s yummy! I made some yesterday but I learned a quick lesson. A little goes a long way! haha I never realized how little cheese there is in the package in the box! So when I made it I put too much and it was BRIGHT orange and a little sickening. I ate it anyway of course :P

  6. O she’s just so cute!! Now, was the cat going for a block or to be a hurdle?…lol Ever wonder what the cat thinks of Pixel spazzing? :)

    • Oh Spencer just happened to be moseying through the living room at the time. Normally he avoids the dog as much as he can. I think he was just wondering what the heck was going on there :P It would have been cool if she had tried to leap over him though, but I figure she’d just slam into the side of him too. That wouldn’t have been pretty haha
