Alien Flyers

There comes a point, where your perfect puppy becomes an alien. Over night. An Alien! Six months seems to be a magical time, for magical abductions of perfect puppies. Teeth are all in, growth has leveled off, prey drive is kicking in, focus turns to the horizon, barking at invisible monsters Or little green men, recall disappears...all signs the Alien stage is beginning. Some puppies cruise through this stage quietly, no jetpacks, no fuss. Others, well others are why there are so many "how to raise a puppy you can live with" books, DVDs and private trainers...living off the antics of Alien puppies.

How to survive living with an Alien puppy? I'm not sure with this little one. She is a handful X 20 million. Sure she knows how to work the sheep, figured out she can see them from one window-runs to front door and bangs knob to try to open, back to window to talk at them a bit, then back to door. Oi, can we say potential OCD/CCD behavior? Self-rewarding Aliens are the worst...hahaha.

Love her to pieces, especially as she throws herself across my lap and lovingly looks into my eyes...seconds after a UFO returned to her earth...then whoosh, flying again. So much potential in this fierce little one, sweet as hell, I'm exhausted!
