Observation #1

Over the week I've noticed some weird quirky habits Kismet has. Once she fell asleep on her back with her body splayed out, as seen below.

She'll also lay on her back with a ball or another toy in her mouth and play with it, also seen below. 

She has two positions as to how she sleeps. 

Curled up in a ball

Or laying on her stomach all on the way out.

After noticing the odd positions my dog lays in, I did some research. The dogcare.dailypuppy.com said that "it's a wolf thing" and that wolves rolled on their back to show a deference to the alpha of the pack.  Or it could that she is really comfortable with me and a "safe, secure-feeling dog is not worried about being belly-up to the world." 

Introduction

My observation as mentioned before is my puppy Kismet. She's a mix of Labrador, Pitbull, and Rotweiler but she looks nothing like that. She really looks like a mix between a Labrador and a Collie. She's a small black dog, but if you look in the right light around her ears, there's a hint of brown. She's a pretty small dog for almost being a year old, but the smallness of my puppy is one more thing that makes her that much cuter. Her tail is arched and when it's waving high and tall, it's like a fan because of the fur attatched to it. She has big brown adorable eyes that you will never want to look away from because they suck you in with their cuteness. 

She is obsessed with her tennis balls. She'll bring you one and when you don't throw it for her, she'll bring you another one. When the ball gets stuck underneath the couch or a table, she'll bark out a small pitiful yip to let me know that she can't get it. She'll stare at it from outside the couch and try to reach at it with her paw. 

She's a pretty rowdy dog but that's to be expected from a puppy. As the blog continues, I will continue to observe Kismet and record what I have observed or learned from my small pup.
