FUR-rocious

Azuki is a belligerent pup. When we play with her, she will express her enthusiasm by play growling and play biting us.

I suppose her out-of-control playing style is partially egged on by me and Matt, who routinely whips our pup into a frenzy by playing rough with her. Matt will get her all riled up and then body slame her on the ground, rubbing his smelly hair on her belly, which he says is his way of "showing his dominance". Although I think it really teaches her nothing, except it makes our dog smell like his hair grease.

As for me, I am no innocent bystander either. One of my favorite games with our pup (which probably only I find it so darn amusing), is to use my shirt sleeve or her large snuggle puppy stuffed animal, and whip her back and forth (LIGHTLY of course!) across her face, screaming, "BITCH SLAP! WHO IS THE BITCH? WHO IS THE BITH?" and then I would follow that by a very animated: "FOREHAND! BACKHAND!" All the while, I would be making sideline commentary to Matt, like "hey hey, isn't that really funny? Get it get it? She is a BITCH, a female dog? Get it?"

Matt would always roll his eyes and give me this look like, yeah soooo funny, obviously there is only one crazy bitch in the room but it aint' our pup, woman.
