1. Old Trick: bat at stuff with hands. Occasionally get lucky and snag something, then pull it out and stare at it meaningfully.
2. New Trick: Choose an object (like an Ale8 can), use both hands to reach for it. If successful, shove into mouth immediately to check for flavor. Otherwise, just toss on the floor. [Photos coming - blogspot is not letting me upload them at the moment.]
1. Old Trick: tracking the dogs with the eyes, noticing them in a vague sort of way.
2. New Trick: leaning toward the dogs, reaching out to pat their heads, stroke under their chins, or rub their fur (depending on where your uncontrolled paw ends up). Trying to lure them in so you can get nose-to-nose and have a stare-down. [No photos because I was too busy trying to keep Boris from licking Iain in the mouth.]
NOTE: this new trick is a symptom of a sad love triangle developing here. Boris loves Iain, Iain loves Juno, Juno loves Boris. It's like Days of Our Lives, but with dogs.
1. Old Trick: waking up in the middle of the night because of A) hunger, B) neurological immaturity, thus inability to sooth self to sleep, C) habit.
2. New Trick: waking up in the middle of the night due to having flipped onto your stomach, then shot your legs out the crib bars up to the crotch so that when you try to turn back over you can't. When re-positioned, doing it again. And again. Screaming. [no photos of this, because A) it happened in the middle of the night! and B) see A.]
