3 1/2-Feet Jumper

On week four of observing, I call my dog, Justin, the 3 1/2-Feet Jumper, this is why.



Every time when my mom cooks rice, he stands on his two back legs, leaning on her leg. He reminds me of a statue when he doesn't move when he stares at someone.



favimages.com is a website to go to and find pictures of funny dogs and see how they stand on their two back legs. That's how my dog stands.
There was leftover rice in the pot. My mom grab a container to put the leftover rice in. All of the sudden, Justin quickly ran to the kitchen and started jumping like crazy. It looked a lot like if he was dancing on his two legs. Rice is his favorite thing to eat. I am always wondering, is rice good for dog to eat?


I went to bunkblog.net › Foods Safe For Dogs and I found out that rice is good for dogs when they have an upset stomach.


The next day, Justin came to the kitchen and started licking the grease on the floor like if he was a mop. This is the most disgusting thing I had ever seen.

Staring

This is week three of the observation. This is what my dog did on this week.

For the first time ever, I was surprised that I was seeing Justin eating his own food. He was very calm and not acting all crazy like always. "Finally!" Field notes 29, Sept. 2014












As I was eating dinner with my family, once again, Justin was barking outside. I found out that he barks at the wind when it's windy. Or maybe he was barking at other dogs he sees. Or maybe he just heard a strange noise. Field notes 30 Sept. 2014























I was standing in the kitchen watching what was my mom making for dinner. I was standing there for a few minutes and I notice Justin sitting in front of the closets where we keeps our snacks and his treats. He was sitting there and staring at me like a statue.

I was glad that Justin was eating his own food while I was eating dinner. Before that, he barked for a little while. I was cracking up when he barked at my neighbor's dog. My neighbor's dog just stood there listening to Justin bark. I caught this on video on my iPod, then I stopped recording when he saw me. Too bad I couldn't post it. Field notes 2 Oct. 2014

Begging

I was watching TV with my dad when I saw my dog, Justin, coming in and out of the house. Every time when he goes outside at the back yard, he starts barking like crazy. What does he always bark at? Why does he bark a lot. Field notes 22, Sept. 2014














My mom was making dinner. While my mom was cooking dinner, Justin was begging for some rice. He was dying to taste the food we were going to eat. We don't give my dog our food because it will make him sick. I don't know if rice makes him sick. Field notes 23, Sept. 2014













Justin was barking outside like always. When he came in to the house, he started smelling the floor and tried to find pieces of food. He always bothers my mom as he is waiting for her to drop food on the floor. Field notes 24, Sept. 2014















It was the day of my birthday, after dinner my family sang "Happy Birthday" to me. As they were singing, I see my dog wanting to go outside. we did not want him to go outside because we were sure he will start barking for no reason. Field notes 25 Sept. 2014
