Rigel

Photobucket

Here is my pee-on-the-carpet-while-walking-in-circles, chew-on-the-basil-plant, laser pointer-chasing dog, Rigel. He's a purebred Siberian Husky from the faraway land of Missouri, born December 2008. Overall he seems to be fairly smart. He learned how to shake hands in ten minutes and can do all the basic tricks you see dogs perform - sit, lay down, rollover, speak. But for some reason he still pees on the floor, only at night, and not regularly...which leads me to wonder, maybe purebred dogs are in fact somewhat retarded? Probably not. No dog of mine shall be retarded!

Definitely not retarded. Alright, in all honesty he isn't retarded. He learns most things a lot faster than I thought dogs could. A few dumb pictures and peeing on the carpet doesn't make one retarded...if that were the case, Mars would be brain dead.

If you're wondering where I derived the name Rigel, it's actually a star in the Orion constellation. You can see it during the winter months...or during summer months if you stay up too late (i think).

Rigel is the bluest star in the night sky, or at least the bluest one that makes it through all the smog and city lights. I figured it would be a good name seeing is how the dog has decently bright blue eyes.

As of yesterday, Rigel (the dog, not the star), is four months old and weighs about thirty five pounds. He should be full grown in a few more months. And in a few more months I should be out of humid Florida and in Washington state. Take that East Coast!

  2. If a day or two, he will be bigger than you, and he will be your new master. And then you will start peeing on the floor.
