we’re changing the dog’s name
1) because Brownie is a stupid name for a blonde dog, or any dog for that matter (they must have let the kids name her), and 2) because we both keep accidentally calling her “Rowdy”, because she resembles J.D.’s and Turk’s “dog” on Scrubs.
so her new name is Rowdy. we figured that would be ok, since Rowdy and Brownie sound pretty close. she’s already answering to Rowdy. probably because she agrees that dogs shouldn’t be named after desserts.
UPDATE: mm reader Mike suggested an “i” at the end of her name to make it more girly. so her latest name is Rowdi. Rowdi J.
Like Oil and Water
Brownie is really excited to meet the cats, and the cats are deathly afraid of the giant dog. When Brownie is in her kennel, Sydney is brave enough to slowly creep up near the dog (which get ruined when Brownie can’t stand it anymore and barks). Minerva, on the other hand, is hiding in the deepest recesses of the garage.
I guess the goal is to teach Brownie that the cats are boring (something I learned right away), but I guess that will take some time. If anyone has gone through this and has advice, it would be appreciated.
Aww… Brownie just went into her kennel to sleep. She’s such a good dog when she’s not moving.
