Pizza's Fort

We bought Pizza this liner/bed thing for her crate because she loved sleeping on her towel so much. We just want her to be comfy. Apparently she finds it much more fun to hang out under the bed instead of in it. You may not be able to see in this picture, but this is Pizza's new fort. No parents are allowed in the fort, so I really don't know what she does in the there or what she keeps there. I can only imagine that it's really cool and fun.

She has another bed too that I bought her a while ago when she was a puppy. She seems to think this is just a really big chew toy. I don't think this dog understands the concept of a bed....

Pizza Face

We are BEAUTIFUL! Well, Pizza is beautiful at least. You can see her eyes now! This is good for her, but I'm not too sure how I feel about it. I was scared to look at her for the first few hours, her eyes looked evil. I think she was just made that we made her get a hair cut. She probably didn't think I was so ugly with the hair covering the majority of her eyes. Sorry Pizza :( At least that's the one good thing about you being adopted, you know you will not grow up to look like me! We don't know what you're real mom looks like though, so who knows....

Why is this my first time writing in a fun color?

Pizza-The Before

Pizza is going to get a haircut tomorrow. As such, I wanted to post a picture of Pizza, entitled "The Before." She has quite a mop top right now, but I'm very confident that at about 5pm tomorrow she will be a beautiful princess. Not saying she's not beautiful now, she's just a little mangy. Check back Monday for the After picture. (I don't have enough confidence in my ambition to say that I'll post tomorrow).

Pizza's mom is back

This is an old picture but I'm lazy and didn't feel like uploading something new. Just wanted to catch you guys up. Pizza's aunt got married and then Pizza's mom and dad went to Aruba for their friends wedding, so it's been busy! But now we are back! Pizza stayed with her friends and is finally sort of socializing with other dogs, that is nice. She is going very crazy though, she has flown off the couch a few times and it doesn't phase her at all. She catapults herself off the couch in a rolling movement, lands on her back and then keeps rolling. Some day she will be old and break a bone. Until then, Pizza is a flying dog!

Pizza's Silly

So there's a dog park in the back of our apartment building. After work I take Pizza there to go to the bathroom. There are three stairs to walk up to get into the dog park..she gets up them just fine, but she doesn't really like the down part so much. For some reason she thinks it's better for her to jump off the ledge next to the stairs rather than walking down the stairs. She's such a brave doggie. Don't worry, I always catch her.

We're working on a new trick called Monster. It involves Pizza walking on her hind legs with her front paws out in front of her. It's going to take a lot of work, but I think it's totally going to be worth it if we can get this down!

Catching up

Pizza and I don't have too much to say today, but we thought we would just write quickly to catch up. Thursday Pizza and her daddy went to get her hair and nails done. She came back with a beautiful new bow!! What a looker she is! She's really she though and didn't like all the attention, so the bow had to come off. Saturday the family took a walk to get some Dels. Pizza was sad, because she cannot eat Dels. You know what she does like though, cigarettes! I can't believe her, she is just a child..kids always think they know whats good for them.

Now Pizza is just hanging out eating my sandals while I type and also trying to dig a hole in the floor. She does this alot in the same places..I'm convinced there are bodies under there. It is an old mill building and all. I feel like there's a 95% chance that I am correct with this assumption.

Dog on Wire

This may not be a wire, but this is a dog. I think she is starting to become pretty swift as she grows up. I did not, however, get a picture of when she slipped and fell into the rocks. She didn't like that. I've been trying to get Pizza a job for a while now, maybe she's just destined for the circus.

Pizza is the smartest dog ever

Pizza has decided to train herself to go to the bathroom outdoors. I think thats pretty smart of her considering we were just going for the whole puppy pad thing. Good job Pizza!

I had to spend the weekend away from my little baby, so she stayed with her dad. He always takes her to do cool things when I'm not around :( She went swimming for the first time ever this weekend!! I hear that she sort of liked it. Maybe we will get to take her swimming again soon. She also had ice cream. I got to be part of the second ice cream experience which was nice. She loves vanilla soft serve! There is a cute picture, but it's on her daddy's new camera. Maybe tomorrow we can post it

Follow Up on the Spiders

I keep noticing things.... To an untrained eye these "things "may seem like normal puppy behavior, but to a keen eye like myself, it's quite the opposite.

Every time I let Pizza out of her cage she heads for the kitchen. Once there she proceeds to lie on the ground with her face in the gap between the cabinets and the floor. I've looked, and there are no food remnants there. My assumption is that this is her meeting point with the spider king. This is where they hatch their plans and decide which of the spiders kamikaze warriors will be sent next. (Although the warriors must not think they are kamikaze because they seem to be under the impression that they will kill me, and not the other way around as it has been.)

You might say "Pizza's mom, why don't you just keep her away from that spot?"..and to that I say "Ok, I'll try that".

Wish me luck. I'll keep everyone updated on any more sketchy behavior from the pup.


oh yeah one more thing!! There was a dog parade today on Main Street. I did not find out about it until it was too late to bring Pizza. She would have needed a costume.

Pizza and the Spiders

We brought Pizza home at the end of May. About a week after that, spiders started emerging. I think I've killed at least 1 daddy long legs each day since that time. I have random bites on me that I can only attribute to a spider/spiders. I want to google more information on this, but I am afraid that it will show me a picture of a spider....

Anyway, here's my thoughts on the matter. It took Pizza about a week of living here before she hashed out her plan to try to kill me. Once her decision was made, she teamed up with the spiders to bring me down. Luckily, since she is a puppy, the daddy long legs fooled her with the amount of power they truly possess. I am able to quickly kill them when I see them slowwwly coming towards me with something as small as a nail polish bottle. (I kill them with that, they don't slowly come towards me with nail polish bottles)

I think my theory is also very strong based on the fact that Pizza's dad has never seen one of these daddy long legs. His eye sight is much better than mine, and I think he is more aware of his surroundings than I am, so why has he not had the same type of encounter? I can only assume it is because he is not wanted dead, only me. Then again, he doesn't seem to see the clothes piled up on the couch and the inch of dust on the end table...hmmm maybe his eye sight isn't as keen as I thought.

I hope Pizza doesn't read this and team up with a more dangerous animal.....

PS, do daddy long legs emit poison? I would google it, but the whole picture issue...

Pizza Friday

Pizza is a tomboy. She likes to play with footballs.

Today I came home and Pizza was very excited to see me. I was very excited to see her too. Although, however, I was not so excited that I peed my pants. The same cannot be said for Pizza. And since dogs don't wear pants, she actually peed my shirt. It's ok though, she is too cute.

Today we tried hide and seek again, with a much better outcome. Pizza still didn't find me, but when I came out of hiding she seemed happy to see me. That's progress. Good thing she lives inside an apartment with her mommy and daddy. I don't think she would fair too well out in the wild with the whole survival of the fittest thing. If she can't find a girl sitting behind a couch, how would she ever find food?

Thursday

Pizza is scratching my butt right now. Wait, no, she just bit it. That's enough Pizza.

Ok, distracted her with a toy...

Last night I tried to play hide and seek with Pizza..I threw the ball and she ran to get it. Then I hid behind the chair and waited for her to come find me. Turns out, she didn't really care that I was missing.

Today after work I took Pizza for a little stroll. She went to the bathroom outside! What an amazing doggie I have! She is getting to be so good and smart. Too bad she still doesn't seem to like me very much.

They grow up so fast...

She's already driving! I can't believe it. We brought her home just a month or so ago, and she is already driving. She was 3 pounds, now she's like 5! I bet she's gained more weight since she was weighed at the vet too. She's gotten tall enough now that she can stand on her hind legs and lean on the coffee table and select whatever treats she can find. Mommy's gotta keep that in mind when she leaves her food and drinks on the coffee table....

With her new height, Pizza has also realized that she liked to eat dresses..when people are wearing them. Today I have on my dress and Pizza jumped up and grabbed the end and tried to take me down! Luckily, I am much heavier than a 5(ish) pound dog and could hold my ground. Where did this bratty little pre-teen come from? Maybe she just wants to wear a dress too..Pizza, we can arrange that.

4th of July

Big day for Pizza! It was the first time she put her little toes in the ocean water. First we had a lovely picnic in Colt State Park, then Pizza got a little too hot so she took a little dip in the water. I'm pretty sure she loved it and wants to go back in. Pizza also witnessed her first fireworks this weekend! That part I think she could have done without. She doesn't really like loud fireworks too much, or motorcycles which drove by a lot on our walk to the fireworks. All in all though, I think she enjoyed her day.

Oh on a side note, Saturday afternoon we went to the dog park. Pizza didn't like the other dogs, she just kind of sat there and looked at them like they were idiots. One of the dogs there liked me though, he peed on my leg. It happened so fast before I could react.

This blog is totally not going in sequential order, but now I will talk about today. Try to keep up. Pizza's dad got a $100 gift card to Petsmart from his credit card points and we went on a shopping spree. Pizza just kind of laid down while we shopped, but I think she enjoyed it. She got 4 new toys, a new pink collar, a leash, and a warm vest for the winter. The vest was only $2!! What a steal! When she gets to her full size we will buy her a purse/bag she can be carried in and also a seat belt so she doesnt have to travel in her doggie taxi. Although, the doggie taxi is cool and can be turned into a convertible.

Ok, enough for now!

Pizza...Fetch

Not much new to report today. I was awoken today with a Pizza on my belly, she is so cute in the morning. I had to leave her alone today for a few hours on account of I needed to get some sun. We're going today to take her to meet a new friend, then we're headed to play with her cousin and have a cookout. Pizza is a busy, popular girl!

The video has nothing to do with this post, just thought I would share one of Pizza's favorite pastimes with all of her followers.

Attack of the Pizza

Just a typical day in the life of Megan and Pizza. I don't think my voice is firm enough based on this footage.

Whatever will we do?

oh..she also just learned how awesome it is to eat shoes. Fun.

Pizza's new game

I already realized I forgot one thing! Pizza has a new game..it's called Dig. The beauty of Dig is that it can be played anywhere, anytime. Here is a video of Pizza honing her dig skills.

Wednesday

Today is Wednesday, which means that Pizza forgot to remind me to post for like 2 days! What a bad memory she has.

Yesterday we bought Pizza a puppy pad that is impossible for her to eat. Instead of accepting this, she seems to see it as more of a challenge. I feel like maybe she will be successful.

Today I took Pizza for a walk after work. I think we did such a good job training her to pee on her puppy pad that she doesn't realize she can pee outside where ever she wants. We walked, then on the way home she sprinted the whole way so she could get inside to pee. I wonder how we will fix this problem.

On a happy note, Pizza found two of her toys which had been missing for about 2 weeks! I don't know where they were or where she found them..what a tricky girl. I wonder what else she is hiding...

Pizza's grandma Jane bought us a book of dog training for dummies. I must say, I think it's finally time I broke down and read it. Don't worry, I'll keep all three of you followers up do date on the progress of training her.

I think Pizza needs a job.

Pizza's Weekend

This weekend Pizza got her second bath ever. She does not like baths, she attempts her dead dog trick every 2 seconds. I don't particularly like giving her baths either, because I end up with this devil like beast until the beast dries (see image to the left). If she is ever going to successfully carry out her plan of killing me, I assume it will be when she is wet like this. Maybe I'll stop giving her baths.

Pizza Tricks

We have been working on teaching Pizza "dead dog", where she just lies flat on her back. Ideally the goal is to be able to make a gun with our hand and have her lay like this. Well, unfortunately Pizza only accepts the literal translation. She has tried to kill herself twice upon the command of her mother and father by leaping to her death off of the bed. Luckily her attempts have been unsuccessful. I'm torn about moving forward with the trick...on the one hand, it's a cool trick. On the other, Pizza might not make it all the way to learning the proper execution. Perhaps that was not the right choice of words....

That's not really new news, but I thought of it because of something that just happened. I was just brushing Pizza while I was sitting on the couch and she was on my lap. I tried to reward her with a Beggin Strip, but she may have fallen off of my lap while I was trying to get it..
..Good dead dog

Today

Pizza was left home alone today from 10am-5:30pm. That's 7 1/2 hours and the most hours she has been home alone ever. I must say, she was a good girl, no accidents (that there is evidence of). Who knows what really happens here when no one is around.

I got a hair cut today at a new place..I told the new girl about Pizza. I think I made a pretty positive first impression.

After being locked in her "home" for so long today, Pizza has gone psycho. She is on my lap right now eating the coffee table. I gave her dinner, but she opted not to eat it. Wood, I guess, tastes better. She also likes to eat the pole in the middle of the apartment. I think she like asbestos. Ouch, she just hit her head on the coffee table. Luckily the asbestos must have numbed her and she did not feel it, she just continues trying to bite and kill me. Good girl Pizza.

Pizza Gets Pretty

Today Kat was nice enough to come over after work and comb Pizza's hair. Mom and dad were slackers and let her hair get all clumpy, and needed the dog whisperer to come and save the day. Pizza did not like this very much, but in the end she turned out beautiful!

Thanks dog whisperer Kat!

PS, Pizza is in her pen area right now trying to eat the newspaper. I said "No", and I'm pretty sure she spoke back. I'm 90% sure she mocked me and said "no". Kids....

Pizza Monday

Today is Monday..nothing too exciting to post today. Pizza has almost successfully killed her stuffed dog friend, good news!

I went to the pet store today and asked for "that angel eye stuff" which is supposed to get rid of the tear stains under her eyes. The girl at the register thought I asked for "angel eye scent"..she asked a few other people if they had it. I did not correct her. After a little while, they figured out what I wanted.

Whelp, I guess that's pretty much it for today..unless something really cool happens. In the meantime, here is a picture of the wonderful day that we got Pizza. My has she grown in this short amount of time!

Pizza's Dad

Happy Father's Day to Pizza's dad, daddy. Pizza and her daddy were very brave and stayed home alone all by themselves last night. She went to a cookout and made new friends. She also ate large amounts of grass, leaves and bugs. We feed Pizza real food, but she seems to prefer grass.

Pizza also went to the vet on Friday (sorry to not tell you sooner!). She got two shots and now has another pretty dog tag. Unfortunately, she still has a little bit of kennel cough, so we had to cancel her hair appointment.

Pizza Update

Now that I have done my introduction, it's time to start my updates on what Pizza is doing.

Currently I am sitting on the couch, and Pizza is nipping at my toes. Sometimes she barks at them. She's wagging her tail, which leads me to believe that she thinks this is a new game. My toes don't really like this new game, but I think I would lose a finger in an attempt to stop the toe biting. I think when you are a mom you have to pick your battles. Let her have the toes...

Introducing...Pizza!

About 3 weeks ago my wonderful boyfriend Miles bought me Pizza. Since then, I have become obsessed! I love Pizza so very much. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to have Pizza at work, so we are apart allll day. I think about Pizza when we cannot be together. Come 5:00pm though, I get to have my Pizza fix.

So, I'm starting this blog because I imagine I cannot be the only person out there obsessed with Pizza. I know my mom, sister, and boyfriend are. Soon the world will be too.

Welcome to the Pizza blog!

* Side note, I have never had a blog before, nor have I ever read one, so I don't really know how they go or how they work. Don't judge me or Pizza.
