Life with Azuki, the crazy puppy

This is a blog about my toy poodle puppy, Azuki. I thought it is only appropriate for me to dedicate a blog about her since she has basically taken over our lives.

Bedfellow

Haven't posted in awhile, but things have been busy and frankly, I have been lazy. The thing about moving to New York is that, I have a lot more things to do here, a lot more people to see, so the incentive to spend hours on posting the blog is low. Although, Azuki's life here is a happy one.
She pretty much does whatever she wants in the house, goes anywhere she pleases and sleeps on any type of surface she pleases. Up until very recently, however, the only off-limits area for her was our bed. I felt very strongly that there should be at least some space in the apartment that is for humans only. It was the ONLY rule that I insisted upon in the house, so I was a little bit confused one morning when I woke up from an unsettling dream. The morning conversation went like this:

me: "So weird. I dreamt that Azuki was in bed with us last night."
Matt: "What? But Azuki is not allowed in bed."
me: "I know. But I could have sworn you were trying to hide Azuki under the blankets last night."
Matt: ".......noooooo. [not making any eye contact] That would be like, so illegal."
me: "Yes it would be."

So that was how it all started. Before I knew it, this is what happened:





This is obviously in blantant violation of the no-dogs-in-bed law. But since the pup and the boy look so darn cute together, I have since then amended the law to no-dog-on-my-side-of-the-bed. Pup and peeps have abided by the law so far. Let's see how long before she sleeps on my pillow.
