Breakfast Topic: Meet Sylvanas, she snores

by Michael Gray Mar 12th 2010 at 8:00AM

Meet Sylvanas. She's about ten weeks old, and she awfully likes to gnaw on bones and my slippers. I'm aware that makes me a giant dork. I probably should have thought twice about naming my puppy after Sylvanas, but it's an awful lot of fun to point out things like "Sylvanas snores." My favorite is "Sylvanas has been sleeping with me and my wife all week." I know, I have the sophomoric sense of humor of a twelve year old.

But, really, Sylvie's adorable. However, I couldn't make this post if all I were doing was saying I named my dog after World of Warcraft. No, no, I'm going much further. Instead of telling her to "sit," I'm training her to plant her butt when she's told "Lok'tar." (That's not a very Orc-like use of the phrase, I know, but it's still very endearing.) "Ogar" is her command to "heel."

I'd like to pretend I'll eventually have Sylvia trained to a precision level like any good hunter pet. But for now, I'm just going to be satisfied if I can get her to stop chewing my slippers.

Just wait until the proud moment you can say 'Sylvanas just ate her own poop'

Fairly ironic, since I always thought Sylvanas was really kind of a bit--

Just wait for those memorable moments where the dog is big enough to reach your computer... last night in Nexus we had a DK that suddenly ran behind Anomalus and jumped off the platform. Instant fall death. Reason? Sorry, dog jumped onto keyboard.

Anyhow, gratz on getting such a sweetheart and good luck on finding all the commands you want to use. Suggestion: use a different command for "eat" so only you and your wife can get her to take food. (I know, nasty RL issue).

Very cute and keep us updated on how the training goes, please.
