Thanks Grannie for the trachea!!
Wordless Wednesday
Halloween is coming….
And the girls are trying their best to be spooky.
Have you ever tried to pose your dogs, or get them into a frame shot together, eyes open, not looking terrified? Ugh! These girls managed to wear me out in less than 20 minutes. Actually, despite what the picture looks like, neither girl minded wearing their Halloween t-shirts. More pictures to come!
New Developments
Shhh! I'm sleeping!
So, some will read this post in horror, others will be happy as am I.
I wanted a dog who would relax with me and lay on the couch. Turns out, Bella is not that dog. She is much happier with her feet on the ground. I’m ok with that. She has on many occasions jumped up to ge a pet or maybe a treat but as soon as she realizes she isn’t on a firm surface, she jumps right back down. The only exception to this is when she was sick. She came up cuddled with me, jumped off, threw up, collapsed and had to go to the ER. So, Bella on the couch = scary.
Today Daisy Mae was in a particularly cuddly, affectionate mood. She jumped to put her front feet on my shoulders while I was sitting on the couch. So, got a sheet to cover it and convinced her sitting next to me was cool. She laid there until it was time to go to the dog park. When we got home, after dinner, she came over and started sniffing her place on the couch so I told her “come on” and patted the cushion. She jumped right up and has been next to me for the last few hours.
I love it!
MOM! The flash is too bright!
Friday Fun
So, Grandpa has moseyed on home. Bella did try and sniff him a few times and she let him pet her for several minutes last night. They might be friends yet! Thanks to Grandpa for taking the coonhound mobile to be cleaned! Too bad they will have it dirty by tonight….
In other odd news the girls and I were laying taking a nap earlier this afternoon. Fedex scared me to death when they knocked on the door really REALLY loud! It was the first time I’ve ever heard Daisy growl! That’s right, she stood up and growled at the door. I may have a guard dog yet!
The Girls are Doing Great….
Something else happened last weekend that I *thought* i wrote about but apparently didn’t let y’all in on.
So, Daisy is squirrel obsessed. I believe her sun rises and sets in the activity levels of the squirrels outside. So Grannie and I were taking the girls on a potty walk last weekend. A squirrel ran across our path very close to us. Daisy and I were walking in front and she tried to chase it up the tree. Well, Mr. Daredevil squirrel decided that instead of running up the tree he would run around it and in between Daidy and I and Grannie and Bella. Well, as soon as that squirrel ran in front of Bella she reached right out and grabbed it!
That’s right, my sweet princess Bella caught a squirrel. She didn’t bay or anything.
Daisy, as good as her intentions were started baying up the wrong tree. meanwhile Bella had this look like “OMG! That was so nasty! Why does Daisy go crazy for these things?!!” She was also moving her tongue like she had p-but butter in her mouth trying to get the fur out. I am so proud of my girl!
Daisy continues to be crazy for the squeaky toy. I’m gonna charge my camera and try to get a video of this nonsense for you. It’s like the old cereal commercials “Crazy for Cocoa Puffs”.
