I gotta new dawgie!!
She’s a Great Dane mixed with one or two other things. ^^ I got her from my second oldest sister (my favorite sister) who got her from a woman who was abusing her. My mum and sis have named her China… China v****a. I’ve had her for about a week now and find her to be a big freakin’ baby. If you leave her alone she’ll whine and scratch on the door of you close the door on her. She keeps hogging up my one-person bed too. She also snores. Loudly.
She’s cute as hell though and smarter than she acts. She just has a lot of energy and al that. She’s a … damn… whatever you cal the black-brown marbled fur color. I can't remember what it’s called… and she has a black face. She has that curve to her neck when she sits that screams Dane. She’s so pretty. ^^ *Scratches at cuts and scratches. * A little violent though. She nipped me hard twice the first two days I had her and gave me a couple dark bruises and then today she freaked out and tried to pick a fight with me. I won but her teeth made a couple small cuts on my left hand and a bunch of new scratches on my arm. She evidently hates squirt bottles and I kept trying to spray her with some flea stuff and I was holding her collar so she couldn't run away, so she freaked. I growled and got testy right back at her. Once again I have shown her who is boss.
She’s a big pup and she’ll only get bigger so I can't back down if she challenges me ‘cause then she thinks SHE’S the boss and can do whatever she wants and I ain’t gunna let that happen. I’m boss and she’ll learn that well. She’s about, maybe around three feet tall to her back and her head comes a little past my hip and I’m five foot five tall (yeah, yeah, I know I’m short. At least I’m not five four). Again, she’ll get bigger. I’ve only ever really had medium-sized dogs before so she’ll be a little bit of a challenge. China v****a, I shall make you submit to my awesome-ness yet! >w< Damn that name.
Right now she’s ripping up the pink mouse I made in middle school and I gave to her as a toy ‘cause I’m not able to get her a real toy yet. A tug-a-war rope is definitely on the list, and probably a sturdy squeak toy… and bones. She likes to chew. She has a gross habit of toilet-drinking and picking up turds to eat out of the yard (EWWWW! EWWWWW!! EEEEEWWWWWW!!!). I need to get her flea/dandruff doggie shampoo too. She keeps itching which is really annoying when we are both tryin’ to sleep on my tiny bed.
Oh, yesterday or the night before I took her on a walk and I was letting her figure out the electric fence the cows are in. I wasn’t thinking that it was sprinkling out, or that because it was, her fur had a bit of wet on it… She touched the electric fence, (this was actually the third time she’s done it sense I got her but she was dry the first two times), and she got a really uncomfortable shock. I smelled some singed fur. She now won’t go into the right side yard or past the driveway on the other side.
When I try to make her go further she starts to freak out, jumping and twisting, and slips her collar then runs to the steps, looking for my cats. She loves to try to get the kitties. The cats hate her utterly, you can imagine. I usually try to make sure they aren’t within her reach when I let her out. My poor little Baby kitty has to stay out side all the time now ‘cause China isn’t kitty-friendly.

I am trying to train China. She knows Sit already and she’s starting to understand Stay. I’ve been tryin’ to teach her Shake and Drop It. XD So far I only get her to drop something by grabbing it, not shaking or puling on it, and getting in her face while growling, (It’s never a good idea to get in a dogs face and growl. It’s more likely they’ll take a n** at your face. I’d advise to never get in their face and growl.) I’m also working on her learning her new name and her coming to me when I call her (she makes it a pain when I let her out leash-less ‘cause all she wants to do then is try to catch kitties. I hope we don’t get chickens in the spring. I think she’d eat them). She ripped the face off of the pink mouse. =O
Can't let her play with it now. =/

Anyhow, enough about my new b***h.

I, if all goes well and as planned, shall have myself a laptop after Thanksgiving! Black Friday. =3 Imma Bank LAWL, our Asian, and myself are going to be up and waiting at four in the morning. Please, oh! Please let me get my beloved and long awaited laptop at a lovely low, low price!!! PLEASE!!
If al goes well I shall be posting this into my Gaia Journal from my shiny new laptop either from Bank’s house or from the McDonalds four miles away (which I will have to walk through the cold to get to).

I’ll add on weather I actually manage to get the laptop or not when I put this on. ^^


I got The netbook!! YAY! But it was hard getting it! Spent over four hours in freezing weather and Wind at ABC Wherehouse to get skipped in the ticket-giving and we left there empty handed so my friend Josh (who was angrier about it than me).
He took me to Best Buy and we ran into someone he knew and got some info! If the laptops weren't claimed by the ticked holders by ten o'clock then we could buy them, and they weren't gotten so Josh and I bought the last two! YAAAAY!
Mum didn't give me all the money she owes me so Josh had to chip in and help and I owe him 20 dollars. I love Josh ^.^ Such a sweetie! He was trying hard at ABC to get me the netbook (there were only five of them). The people at the front of the line who had been waiting hours got jipped 'cause they got skipped on the things they wanted and the people in the back of the line got it somehow instead of the people who had been out there four hours before, freezing their asses off. There were a lot of angry people there when we figured out we weren't getting what we waited hours in the wind and cold for, we left. I think I'll have a cold and I have cold sores or something, chapped lips, from the cold and wind. I hate the cold.
Anyhow, Josh was a HUGE help in getting my netbook. YAY JOSH!!
