She's Ananya's dog but I get to care for her - feed her, pick up after her, walk her. I mostly enjoy it, especially the morning walks. Flower loves to chase cars. I have to be careful she doesn't go under the wheels of a passing car or we'd be deflowered.
Clearly, the dog needs training. We took her to a Puppy Kindergarten class. We learned that the class really trains the humans, not the dogs. For example, the instructor told us that you have to let the dog know that you're the leader of the pack so she follows your commands. I'm not sure how well the leadership lesson goes on the dog when she can see that I have to pick up after her rather than the other way.
When I'm not feeding the dog, cleaning her bowl, and taking her to the vet, I explore words and write about them. Maybe some day when I feel like sleeping late, Flower can fill in for me. You know, on the Internet nobody knows you're a dog. In the meantime, enjoy this week's expressions originating in pet animals.
