So Bella is an obese man trapped in a small Chihuahua's body.
Normally, her trucker etiquette doesn't bother me--it actually comforts me. But tonight her inability to find a comfortable spot in my nook and continual wheezing made it impossible to sleep. I think Bella is actually sick--plausible cold or terrible allergies? After the third time she woke me up with this awkward snort/wheeze I surrendered and decided to take her downstairs to get some water or fresh air.
I'm not sure how to take care of her. Once I put her by the water bowl
she moved by it and began searching the floor for remnants of food. Food is her number one priority. Now we are sitting on the sofa, waiting out her strange behavior at 2:55 AM.
When I first got her, she totally manipulated me. Never having had responsibility for a dog of my own, I assumed when she woke me up at odd hours she MUST have to pee. WRONG, there I would be in my underwear with Bella outside my apartment at 4am in December. Just looking for scraps of pizza--her own mission impossible. I also thought perhaps Bella wasn't potty trained. That wasn't true either, in fact--my dog is spiteful. When she's mad at me--she leaves poop outside my bedroom door. My brothers have learned recently that their doors being shut is not acceptable..2 pieces of poop outside both doors.
It's come to the point that if you asked me who I would want to be stranded on a desert island with, my answer just might be Bella. I'd never go hungry. Me and my little survivor.
I wish she could tell me what's wrong. Considering Bella is more like a small demon than a dog, i'm surprised she's not speaking in old world languages, casting spells...levitating.

I'm googling dog allergies and coming up with nothing. For years, if someone asked me what my super power of choice would be--hands down it would be having the ability to read minds. That would move mountains in my own life. I would love to know what the people around are thinking. Could you imagine if you could know what the man sitting in front of you is thinking? Knowing what people want from you? Maybe the english major in me is always reading in between the lines instead of just listening.
Well googling has led me to a dark place..I just stumbled upon a heading that said "Why your pet should go organic." I'm not sure what is worse, the fact that someone wrote it or the fact that I read it. Yikes.
She kind of smells too. I guess I won't judge her, sometimes sick people smell. I still love her. I think i'm going to look for Benadryl and see if that helps her if i put it in yogurt. Then maybe, if we're lucky--I'll be able to climb back into bed and sleep peacefully.
