My dog Stupid

The title of this post may appear grammatically incorrect. It's not. My dog's name is Cupid, but more often than not, we call her Stupid. Mostly because she is pretty dumb.

Here are some reasons my dog is stupid.

1. She chases a laser pointer like a cat. Except my dog weighs over 60 pounds, so it sounds like an elephant chasing a laser pointer.


2. She thinks that any light that moves is a laser pointer. Hence, no flashlights, candles, reflections from mirrors, etc, unless you want Cupid to stare at the ceiling/wall/floor for the next 20 minutes waiting to "get" the light.


3. My camera has a focusing light, so I can never get a good picture of my dog since she immediately goes into "pounce" mode when I try to snap a photo.

4. Occasionally we think she is attempting to talk because she yawns & whines at the same time.


5. If anyone says the word "outside" Cupid immediately jumps to her feet and runs so fast to the back door that we have nose marks there from the times she couldn't stop fast enough.


6. She rolls around in the snow.


7. She barks at nothing.


8. She gets so distracted by things she runs into walls.


9. She doesn't chew on her toys, she eats them.


10. If I throw her ball into the area of the back yard where she does her business she actually tip-toes through the messes to get it out.

Despite how dumb my dog is, she is pretty cute (when she's not doing something disgusting). Here is video we made for Will's family of Cupid playing in the snow last winter. Enjoy my husband's narration... that may be the best part of the whole thing.

Overall, she's pretty much okay, but when we have kids the dog might have to find a new home.

This is Cupid right before she stood up to try and get the camera.
