Some day there will be aspiring artists who feel nostalgic for the age that created The Royal Tennenbaums and Jenny Lewis. The art of awkward. Sexy Awkwardness.
And, back at the ranch, Ixi is a very strange, very sweet dog.
She doesn't like treats. Or playing with things. She hardly ever pees. We've only heard her bark once, last night when we put her in her crate and went to bed.
She doesn't wag her tail, but if you move to stand up after petting her, she jumps into your lap. She's super cuddly. Today she took a nap with me on the couch.
She hates her leash, but as long as it's slack she walks along beside you. I've coaxed her into walking down stairs, but she's horrified of walking up them.
When she eats she picks up a couple nuggets of dry food at a time and runs about four feet away from her bowl, drops the nuggets and then crunches them up.
We like her. She's already responding to her name and a bright "Come here!" She's very smart, and just has to adjust to her new pack.

If it makes you feel any better our dog eats food the same way and has since we got her. I thought it was weird too, but apparently she is not alone.
tipper eats the same way, and very rarely responds or plays with toys. but she will attack the shit out of your hand.
i'm glad you like another dog though. it makes me hopeful for the world somehow.
