Bathtime!

You wanna do what to me?!

You wanna do what to me?!
I gave eero his second bath today. He decided to take revenge by shedding everwhere.
I think the bath massaged out a ton of trapped fur, and every time he trots around a little trail of fur comes off of him. Kind of Pigpen-esque, if you ask me.

Nevermind the stupid face — I collected about 4 of these fluffs. Together they make his entire head.

Achtung!

Dr. Jekyll…
Eero and I emerged from our respective sleeping dens this morning, and what did we find? A welsh terrier (terror, more like) in the yard, owned by one of the landscaping guys who was clearing out some dead brush.
She was cute but ultra hyper as terriers usually are. She also tried to hump eero. REDEMPTION! BWAHAHAHA!
As eero is getting older, he’s definitely getting noticeably longer and his face structure is getting pointer. But besides that, he’s attaining an arsenal of faces. When he was younger he was sulkier and kept his head down more often but as he’s aging and getting more gutsy, he holds his head proudly and often shows off that fantastic corgi smile that just makes me melt.

“Me chinee me play joke me put pee pee in your coke.” Rull mature, eero. Thanks for mocking me.
Eero’s nails are disastrously long, and after I accidentally cut his quick one time he won’t let me close to his nails without nipping. I am attempting to condition him to be accustomed to getting his nails dremelled, and have been using the muzzle as a secondary condition just so he will calm down and understand that dremelling or clipping is not painful and he shouldn’t squirm so much. Obviously he loves the muzzle a lot.

I have finally officially registered Eero into the AKC.
AKC names are funny. Why are they so goddamn long? His papa’s name is “Star Views Action Jackson” and his mam’s name is “Carsons Redneck Girl” (lul). Eero is just registered as… eero! I was debating rolling with his full obxnoxious name “Eero Wyler Rheinveson Wu”, but I’d be falling into that weird long name trap.
Eero is currently under my feet covertly nipping my new (and kind of expensive) Puma slip-ons. He thinks I’m not paying attention. I will punt the beast.

The bertoia-esque crate came in today. Screw iphone unboxing posts, this is the eiCrate unbox!

We bought this for eero as a natural flea defense remedy and I applied it on him for the first time today. I sure hope it works… it’s a hell of a natural Joannie defense remedy. He stinks like Joanne’s and Michael’s craft stores. If you like the FACE MUTILATING SMELL OF CINNAMON, then I suppose the product is definitely for you. But since I don’t like to be reminded of Christmas, scrapbooking, or old ladies, I don’t think I will be using this for much longer.
This is a guaranteed way of getting eero pissed off at you. Well, more specifically me. I can’t help it though. I guess I deserve the indignant pounces.
I get it. I’m short. I fully acknowledge my vertical deficiencies. That’s why eero’s the buddy for me!

So the last few days, eero’s naughtiness has risen exponentially. Arm humping (I will fling you into the next room, beast!), limb nipping, and running out of the yard into the street have been a few of the things he’s been up to.
After the 4th time of chasing him on one of his sprints out of the yard, I discovered the object of his desires….
