Nintendogs

Okay, usually I am the model penny-saver. I don't usually give in to "temptation shopping", instead I think to myself "how much is this purchase compared to a week's worth of groceries?". One night, H and I went to Circuit City and directed me to the Nintendo DS display where they had Nintendogs. I had seen it before, but I was lukewarm about it...until my fated trip to Circuit City. I picked up the stylus, started petting the little puppy on the screen, and that was it - I had to get myself a DS and Nintendogs!

Now I am the proud owner of a DS and the Chihuahua version of Nintendogs. My little puppy is a little female Chihuahua named Lola. She is a bit stubborn and, even though she knows tricks and commands, I can't get her to perform at talent shows (which is a good way to make money). I take her for walks every day and, when there is trash on the ground, she eats it every time! Her last meal was spaghetti and meatballs. Ack!! I am trying to train her for an agility dog show, but when I throw the disk for her to catch, she runs to get it and won't bring it back, even with my stern commands like "Lola, come!" or "Loooolllaaaa.... COME!". The coolest thing is that Lola recognizes my voice because I talk to her through the microphone. She is very excited every time I come in the door and she always wants food and water! Just like a real dog....
