A couple weeks ago, I decided to have some fun when I was outside and Finley was inside. We have this window at the side of the house that we never really use. When we first got Finley, she tried to look out of it, which requires getting on an end table. We closed the blinds to that window and it's like she forgot the window was there.  Until I reminded her. 

We don't really want her getting on the table so we're going to have to find a new solution to keep her from looking out that window. I got her attention by knocking on the window and having her find me . Since then she loves that end table and the window. *sigh*

She's figured out that once she can no longer the people walking by well enough from the front window, she can now use the side window. Yay more barking. Okay maybe not yay. Now there's three places to run between. 

This end table has a piece of glass on it so thankfully she's not scratching it. Poor, poor windowsills aren't as lucky. She's done more damage on those sills in the four months that we had her than my other dog did in his lifetime. Good thing those windows need replacing soon. Anyways, back to the glass-topped table. Turns out it's a good sleeping surface. She's taken up to lying down on the table when she's too hot. I wonder what I'm going to make her discover next. 

Little white dog displays some odd behaviour at times, this one I like to call the window cleaner. She loves looking out the windows in the house, even when it's dark and there's seemingly nothing to see. She barks at the shadows the trees make or the branches moving in the wind. Either that or she's got some kind of night vision that makes her see people when I definitely can't. The window in my living room is covered in nose prints. The only time it isn't is in the first few minutes after I wipe them off using a vinegar & water mixture, but even that isn't much of a deterrent. One time she followed behind me and after a quick sniff, followed by the dog version of that face we make when eat something vinegary or sour, she proceeded with a taste test and then covered up my hard work with saliva and more nose prints. 

But that's not the window cleaner I'm referring to, she only did that once. I haven't washed that window since because holiday decorations have prevented most of the nose prints from reappearing. I'm referring to her obsessive need to lick this one window in the car. Not a car trip has gone by without her licking it. Maybe there's some kind of invisible food fairy that comes along and sprinkles invisible food dust on my window when I'm not looking. I can't find any other explanation for this behaviour. Or maybe she has some odd form of OCD that only manifests itself during car rides. It's always the same window though she can reach two windows only one is covered in tongue prints. The other has nose prints. Either way, I've started to find it endearing. 

At first I thought that maybe she was thirsty and was trying to extract that foggy stuff that shows up on windows, but it wasn't. I offered her water a couple times and she didn't want any. So if you're rolling down the highway and see a little white dog licking the back window on the passenger side, it could be us so wave hello.
