I ate STINKY's chicken neck

Okay..... I really don't know what came over me, but not only did I touch something STINKY had touched, I ate it. Remember I told you he stunk, so I won't touch anything he's touched including my toys, and food??

Well today, mum decided to give him his first ever chicken neck. Mum gave me my turkey neck at the same time.


I finished my turkey neck in no time flat, and yet, STINKY didn't know what to do with his chicken neck. Geee... this guy... I wanted more chicken necks/backs from the package mum had bought for STINKY, but my EVIL mum said NO! So I decided to go visit Georgie instead. I have to go see him everyday you know, even tho I usually only stay there for less than 5 mins.

So while mum was changing Georgie's litter/food/water, I went back upstairs. I sniffed the chicken neck that was lying on the blankie, and decided to plug my nose and eat it. It made more sense for the neck to be in my tummy than STINKY's anyway.

Mum made a huge deal about it cause she thinks that means I don't dislike STINKY as much. BUUUUT, she didn't see me plugging my nose (do you know how hard it is to swallow when your nostrils are plugged??). I still think he stinks!

After din din, I saw mum took out something from a paper bag. The bag had two golden arches on, YIPPEE, my favouritest - chicken McNuggets!! It was mum's din din, but I went and gave her my please look with drool coming down at the rate of 1 drop of drool/sec.



That didn't work at first because mum said McNuggets were unhealthy for me... So I made my ears stand up just to show how much I really needed it.



That did the trick!!!!

This is me with my begging eyes. Notice how mum gave me the FIRST piece, and then she gave STINKY one, then the LAST piece came to me?? I'm the BOSS, so I have the first and last say.

I thought about growling at STINKY because he was getting MY nugget, but honestly, that would've been a waste of energy. He wasn't even trying to get my nugget. Something's wrong with that pup man, but suits me. Mum seemed very happy after our little treat session.

(mum: this is a big improvement towards how she is treating Jaffa. Sunshade is very possessive when food is involved. I never bring treats with me when we go on walks. Jaffa, of course, is being a very respectable pup, has been since day one.)

This morning, mum took STINKY and me for a leash walk around a nice, clean neighbourhood (no pitbull attack this time). Usually, I prefer to be at a park or beach so I can run around off leash. However, since this was not a neighbourhood I go very often, it was okay. I'm a curious girl, I like new places.

Mum wanted to start teaching STINKY about stopping at curbs. She says this could save his life some day. I was trained to "WAIT" at every curb, until mum gives me the "OK" to go. Mum started out giving me the command "wait" everytime we hit a curb on leash, and she waits until I "stopped" moving before giving me the "OK" command. Now that I'm so used to it, I automatically wait at all curbs even without the command. Believe it or not, even when I'm on leash, I have to stop and wait at each curb before I'm allowed to cross the road. Anyway, this is what mum is hoping to teach STINKY.

ps. we picked a quiet street around a park to take this video. Mum made sure it was safe before doing this. I was put right back on leash after I crossed the road.

Today was STINKY's first day using a leash, and OMG he did terrible! Stumbling across from far left, all the way behind mum to far right, then all the way in front of mum to far left. He would stop and bite on the leash and start tugging. Sheesh! (mum: right... you never bit on your leash, and you never shook your leash as if you were trying to kill it, right??)

It was quite interesting watching mum juggling my big retractable leash, STINKY's leash, poopies, and her camera. I swear that woman sometimes has more than two arms.

Anyway, when STINKY wasn't busy trying to wrap the leash around mum, he was trying to sneak sniffs,


and basically just "got in the way". I was busy trying to see who had left a pee mail and getting ready to leave my msg, and STINKY just had to stumble into the same hedge.


We walked along some more, and came to a teeny park. Mum picked STINKY up and let me off leash to sniff around. And then, came Shannon, a 9 year old Airedale. She and I said hello, and we even started to play a little, but she wasn't really supposed to run because she had just had knee surgery back in October. Mum didn't want me running on the wet snow anyway, so our mums made us stop, and everything was ok.


That was until Shannon decided to start jumping up at mum, and barking because she saw mum had STINKY in her arms. (mum: Shannon was barking & jumping out of excitment) Well, I didn't like THAT! Nobody jumps on my mum, nevermind barking at her. So I ran over, snarled, and pushed her off mum. Shannon snapped at me, and I was ready to take her. However, mum started using her scaaaaawie firm voice and told me to "LEAVE HER-LEEEAVE HER-LEEEEEEEAVE HER", and Shannon's mom was using her firm voice to tell Shannon to "COME". So we both just postured, gave each other the evil eye.

Shannon's mum really wanted to see STINKY, but Shannon was too jumpy, so mum made me do a "down-stay" so she could bring STINKY over to Shannon's mom.


I stayed....... until I saw Shannon who was pouncing around STINKY and that STINKY looked scared. Now don't ask me why, but I broke my down-stay, went over, and put myself between Shannon and STINKY. I gave Shannon the famous "Sunshade LOOK", and she backed away. Mum of course had to come and drag me back over to my down-stay spot because I broke it...GEEZ.. I can't eat STINKY, and now when I try to protect him (still not sure why I did that, he still stinks), I get put back to down-stay..
