Day 459 German shepherd imperfections

Finally! Finally Jennifer started studying something interesting! Dogs! Mwahahaaaa! Also I am in a good mood because we spent the day on the porch and she took off my stupid pyjama.

She let me in the garden, and I was so happy that I was offleash for once I did a few laps around at full speed just to stretch my legs. Jen tackled me and said I wasn't allowed to run. Or jump. Or lay on a dirty surface. Or lick my wound. Or scratch it. Sheesh. I took out a stitch by running but she didn't notice hehe

Teehee, you study while I sniff!

She tried to entertain me so I wouldn't run around. Had doggy icecream. Like a lot.

The first question she started studying was about breed predispositions. I told her it's easy, German shepherds are the best, are perfect and have no flaws. She disagreed and handed over the list:

She said one more was missing to the list. "Narcissism". Whatever that means. I'm perfect and I love the way I am (and she does too).
