A day in infamy

This will be short lived. Basically what I will be describing is the power my dog truly has. German Sheppards are some of the biggest dogs that are domestically owned in the United States. My dog for example is up to my hip and has the jaws of a shark. She believes she runs a monarchy of some sort, being that she runs and struts around the house with a cocky little sway, and importantly, she takes on who ever comes into my house. Today I came home and I don't believe she recognized me right away, anyways, she came to the garage door and barked till I opened the door and as soon as I opened the door, she rushed me. I fell. As simple as that, yet the truly magnificent thing about it is that she came from about a foot away and had enough power to knock me down, and not to toot my own horn or anything, but I believe that I'm a relitivley stable and coordinated person compared to the regular population. She knocked me with her tooth and I'm still feeling like I have as stick stuck in my finger, and it hurts. Bad. So harmlessly though, afterwards she licked me and snuggled up next to me, as if she knew she did something wrong. That's it, I just wanted to share the power  my dog can exhibit, and seemingly effortlessly.

  Goodnight

My first observation

   Well, I wouldn't be in the wrong to say my dog is stupid, yet I wouldn't be right to say she is. My dog, Hannah, she is a 13 month old German Sheppard, I'd say about up to my hip in height, and she's a healthy sized dog, in terms of weight. She's speckled with tan, bright hairs in between her deep fur coat, the majority of her color on her back is a luscious black. She has the ears of a jack rabbit, always up, and when you pet her on the head, the fold back, and resembles a smile, it's rather cute to be honest. I decided to focus on one thing out of my weekly observations, this one thing being my dogs behavior, specifically during the evening from about 6-10 pm, because I spend most of my time with her when I get home. Now being that my dog sleeps with me, I would have naturally seen her, and not have to deliberately make time to see her and observe her, I decided that it would be appropriate for the occasion if I just spent the extra minute on watching her. I've noticed that my dog is almost opposed to beds. She just got a new bed, for my room, and that very night, she decided to chew it up, but the good out of that was that she started to become attached to the bed. That very moment created a connection and I have to stuff the stuffing back into the bed every single morning, yet she puts her head on the bed, she almost refuses to put her body on it, she puts just enough of her head on the pillow to chew it and pull out the stuffing. I think it's cute. But you know, many would be irritated with it, considering its a new chore. Yet, I wake up every morning and I say "Hannah, what the hell?" And she comes up to me and jumps on my bed and lays on me, and buries her head behind my leg, and with this sight, I can no longer be mad. I

  I also noticed that she will be the most energetic dog in the entire world, but as soon as she waltzes in front of my fan, drops and sprawls out, using all the ground she can, just because she doesn't like to be balled up. She almost takes up the entire section of my floor.    

     

       Behavior. It's rather broad, but I focused on how she acts in a sense of the setting, and her reaction to the setting. She demonstrates a sense of neutrality, while also keeping her puppy like attributes alive and well. 

   I think that's all for the night, It's passed my bed time, as a young RJ once said. Night.
