Yuki's behavior is...how do I put this: frightening. She is demanding. I know that seems like a human characteristic, but she practically forces her will on us. She insists on riding in the van every chance she gets. She tricks us into giving her greenies and treats.
I tell you this, dear Claire, because I believe you should be afraid for your life. The beast that has emerged this week is a monster that knows not mercy! Her sharp fangs and wiry hair are nothing compared to her thirst for human blood. I write you now from a hiding place in my bedroom--a place which Yuki tried to claim as her lair.
Outside my door is a fierce growling and scratching. I only hope she does not make it through the threshold. If you do not hear from me

Day Six - It's hump day!
I added this photo of Yuki for you. She seems very happy and even gave us a doggie smile. As you can see, her coat is very thick. It must be all the red meat she's been craving.
The girls started playing a new game with Yuki. It is really, really cute. You should see it. They wrap themselves up with pillows and blankets and Yuki pretends to try to rip their limbs off. So precious. Yuki really gets into it. You should put that dog on T.V. Such a natural acting ability.
My neighbors found their missing cat. Unfortunately, it was at the edge of our property line, dead. Some animal attacked it. So sad.
Fortunately, everything is A-okay with Yuki. She fits right into out home and the neighborhood. I know you miss your dog. Don't worry about a thing. Just have a great time. Yuki is smiling at me as I write.

Yuki: or when is Claire coming home already?
Yuki is fine. She even seems bigger. I must being imagining this, but even her teeth seem sharper. I found her staring at the Guinea Pig. I think she wants to play with Ibby. That would be cute.
She also insists I open the passenger door of the van before she hops in. She will not enter the van in any other fashion. I think she likes the rides. She seems very adept at sitting in a car seat. She does not climb all over my lap. She does bark at people she believes to be getting to close to the van, like Mr. John, Kara's teacher. She let him have it.
I will upload a picture of Yuki for you tomorrow. I am too lazy to do it now.
Not much new to report on. Yuki still does dog stuff. Sniff. Bark. Eat dog food. You know, that stuff.
I hope you are having fun.

Claire's Dog, the days that follow Day Two
Yuki has settled in. I am able to let her out frequently because I am mostly home during the day as I have no life. Uh...hem. Anyway, there has been little incident of pee on the floor and so far none on the carpet (that I am aware).
Yuki follows me around and attempts to jump in my lap when I am sitting on the sofa. And I would let her, but I like my space. She watched WALL-E with us Saturday night and lounged between Kara and Vic on the big sofa. She spins in circles for dog treats. She has been in the back yard with my dogs a bit but she was a bit too wimpy to stay outside Saturday with us all while we did yard work. The leaf blower scares her. Which I would think my dogs would not like it either, but I cannot even get them to move out of the way of blowing leaves. They just stand there.
Kara said that she loves Yuki. Yuki has yet to respond with equal sentiment.
Yuki's favorite activities: sleeping, eating and sleeping some more.
She does get rather feisty when I return home after being gone a bit. So I play growl at her--you know, like dogs do when they play? When I was little, my whole world centered around my dog and I spent countless hours (maybe not that much) learning the various ways dogs communicate. I wanted to be able to "speak" to my dog. Beanie was the best dog ever. EVER!!
My neighbors came by looking for their cat. It went missing the day after Yuki arrived. I hope they find her. I do hear some strange noises at night... Maybe something escaped from the Zoo. He, he.
That is about it. Yuki is fine and has already forgotten you. Just joking... She stares out the window, awaiting your return.

Claire's Dog, Day Two
Well, besides a couple of doggie doodles left on my carpet, everything seems to be fine with Yuki. She stole Spencer's space on the sofa next to me...and he stole it back. The girls like having her around. They are respectful of the fact that Yuki is an older dog--gentle pets. This morning, I let Yuki join us in the van as I drove the girls to school.
Yesterday, Yuki and my dogs properly sniffed each other's butts. They all barked together at the mail delivery jeep (it's a jeep, right?). Yuki follows me around for the most part. She is not so big on climbing the stairs and Spencer thinks she is deaf. And he came up with a voice for Yuki. Yes. This was entertainment for me for the better part of 15 minutes last night. Spencer did pick her up and bring her up the steps last night to sleep in our room...he even got her blanket. Awww. He hates dogs in the house, so this just demonstrates how much he cares for you. Well, actually how much he cares for me who in turn took responsibility for your dog while you are in Germany. But!! I know you would do it for me.
Yep. All has been well. Except. I almost didn't mention this, but Spencer cut his finger last night chopping an onion. A tiny spot of blood fell to the floor. I was not home, but Spencer said Yuki jumped on the blood, licking it furiously. I am sure he was exaggerating, but it's kinda funny. Vic said, "maybe Yuki is a werewolf." Anyway. I thought you might find that funny. Dogs are animals after all.
But all is great today. Enjoy the rest of your adventure!!

A blog for Claire's Dog
I am dog sitting for my friend while she goes overseas. I thought I would help her stay in touch with her dog's doings while she was in Germany.
Today is Yuki's first day with us. Yuki is a Japanese Spitz and she reminds me of a little white fox--in fact, I jokingly tell my two daughters that Yuki is a white fox. They usually reply with "naw uhhh" or "you always say that." Geez, kids. Who ate your funny bone? Maybe it was Yuki?
I am not feeling very well today (cold crap). I find myself home during the day. I resigned from a job of four years to finish my Master's degree. I thought the time off would do me some good, but now I find I am a little on the bored side. I talk to myself. Not in the crazy-old-lady way, but you get what I mean. I started going to the gym regularly to get out of the house and to get in shape, but the last two days of a cold have grounded me at home.
Anyway, the dog. Not much to report, Claire. Although, you are only just now making it to the airport for your departure. When you left, I gave Yuki a treat to sway her to my side. Just kidding. Well, not really, but she is not yet completely trusting of me.
She sniffed around the house and my dogs wined from the garage. I let her out in the front yard to prance around for a minute (your dog prances by the way).
My dogs went really wild. I have never heard such a ruckus ( I love that word). It was weird.
That is really about it. I put down some water. She sniffed around some more. A week will go by quickly. Have fun in Deutschland!

Migration
Uh...I think I started this profile a ways back, but then forgot about it. I need to migrate my blog posts from Myspace. I hate Myspace, but I like my blogs and i don't want to delete them just yet. To be continued... Maybe.
