So Kali, the smartest Chihuahua in the world, has just discovered a new trick. I am lucky enough to work at a company that welcomes small pups in the office when they are sick or just every once in a while. Since I’m driving back and forth between Brighton, Boulder and Longmont, my little two pound dog becomes a logistics issue and she sometimes comes with me to work. WHICH SHE LOVES!
So last Tuesday, while at home in Longmont, Phill L. and I were awoken to a sick little puppy that had thrown up twice in the bed. My mommy instincts kicked in and I cleaned her up, let her sip some water, took her outside, kicked Phill L. out into the guest bedroom so he could sleep, and proceeded to baby and cuddled with my little doggie all night. WRONG MOVE!
So of course, she came with me to work on Wednesday and was hand fed Gerber Graduates Chicken Sticks all day. She looked pretty healthy to me! So no vet appointment and she stayed home on Thursday.
To my surprise on Friday morning as we proceed with our normal routine of the two of us walking downstairs to go outside before work, the little bugger looks up at me, runs over to her water bowl, gulps up a mouthful of water and then runs back to spit up the water at my feet. Then she looks up at me and wags her tail. When I say “yeah, right” she coughs.
My dog is ruined, but she is really good at faking sick!
Oh my gosh! That is so funny! I love your dog already! :) David and I got a puppy and I hope she is as smart as your dog. She is a yellow lab name Saige. We are potty training now & she's doing really good.
