The Babysitter

By the way, I think I should give some props where props are due. The only way that I was able to make fish stew on a weeknight (I made it on Tuesday (?)) was because of the babysitter.

We read in our poodle handbook (from the breeder) that one chew toy that is good for puppies is pig ears. So, being the new puppy parents that we are, we went out and bought what the book said (unfortunately, we couldn't find any lamb lung..) and thusly discovered the most impressive trick in the book. Now we call these her babysitters, because she will sit and chew on these pig ears for hours and only stop when she needs to potty. So not only does she stay out of trouble, but she also gives you a very clear sign of when she needs to be taken outside.

Oh, and apparently black poodles get green eye, not red eye in photos. Who knew?
