New pictures of Genie - She's actually awake. I had to set Melvin's camera to the 'speedman' function in order to take non-blurred pictures of her. I'm quite satisfied with the results. Naturally, I took these pictures, because Melvin couldn't get a single nice one of her. *sticks tongue out at Melvin*

Dog Troubles

Genie decided, 2 days ago, that she didn't like her dog food anymore. She's only been eating small portions of her meal, maybe 1/4 of it. Then she threw up last night.

She seems fine today though, so the throwing up isn't a big issue. Melvin and I will be keeping an eye on her today/tomorrow to make sure she doesn't throw up again.

I hope she doesn't turn out to be a picky eater. I keep telling Melvin that if she doesn't want to eat, we'll just let her starve until the next meal. But Noooo, he's handfeeding her two hours after her meal time. He's going to end up spoiling the lil one.

I have been considering adding abi of variety to Genie's meals though. Not for taste, more for nutrition.

There have been recommendations to add fish, or liver to dry dog food. But the thought of having to COOK for the dog just puts me off. I mean, hell, I don't even cook for myself. But then again, it's just light steaming. No salt, nothing, just steam as is. Can't be THAT hard.

But aiyah - still troublesome.

We'll see how it goes for the next few days.

Other than Genie being the most troublesome 3.5kg thing on earth, she's been absolutely adorable, always giving me a warm welcome when I get home.. It's like she's been looking forward to seeing you the whole day.. she clings to you, and her tail wags so hard it looks like it'll fly right off.

She'll then get so sleepy after play time, that you can just cradle her to sleep. Of course, she's like super 'nua' by then as well, and nice to hold.

If you're wondering if Genie is all I can talk about lately, the answer is yes >.>

Trust me. There's nothing else I can talk about, cos nothing else HAS been happening.

Wake up, feed genie, dress for work, say byebye to Genie, leave home.
Get off work, rush home, feed Genie, play/shower/brush her teeth/comb her fur/scold her for pooing on the floor/clean whatever part of the house she's messed up, SLEEP.

Looking at my schedule, you realise Melvin and I hardly have time for each other. And he's been complaining.

We'll need to readjust our schedules.
