Someone's Gotcha day was March 22, we all missed!:eek:
Aww, Happy Belated, Angel pup!
Speaking of belated, I think it's time to put the photography crew to work....
I should have known it was BAD idea.......
The other morning Angel brought her rope to bed with her. I figured she just wanted a pacifier as I was feeling wiped and didn't have the energy to play with her like I usually do when I get home from work.
Yesterday morning I was informed by events that it probably wasn't the best decision I've made. I was just nodding off when someone came trotting into the bedroom with her rope.....and proceeded to wave the rope around at me trying to get me to play. I told her to calm down and she did, dropped the rope and then went to get her tennis balls. I should have known better than to let her bring a toy to bed....:rolleyes:
Awww, Angel - toys are not for bed time! And while you may get all excited an d energized at the sight of a tennis ball, that doesn't work for Dad, sorry!Quote:

All progress, isn't it? ;)
And the dog grenade went off again.....
Calmly sitting having a cup of coffee, and someone started going nuts in the window.
A female turkey had the temerity to come into the yard to snack on the dandelions.
Oh, the nerve! At least if it was a male doing his spring call, you'd have had fair warning!
Wow, Angel! A turkey in the yard - does that happen regularly? I've seen birds in the yard, and even a deer, but never a turkey! (I don't live in the country, though.)
It happens fairly regularly, the largest turkey invasion in the yard was last spring, we had turkeys spread over the lower acre from the road to the pond. This was odd, it was a lone hen out in the open.Quote:

Speaking of energy, the package said the tie out-lead was good for a 100 lb dog.
Obviously the 100 lb rating didn't take into consideration a bullydog mix going full tilt across the yard after a bunny wabbit.
Time to write the company for a refund? Hope da bunny escaped anyway! (No offense, Angel pup.)Quote:

Awww, poor pup! Give her a nice rub from me!Quote:

We went out last night for ice cream, and took and Angel pup with us. She was being her usual boisterous self, but mainly wanted attention. She was being good, but loud. There was a group at the ice cream place, and a couple of people were making quiet comments about pit bulls, and steering the kids in the group away from Angel. The exception was one of the group who cam over, asked if she was friendly, and Angel jumped up to say "hello!!!!!!!". The guy proceeded to grab handfuls of ears and scritch in all the right places.
While that was going on, LoH was getting ice cream for the kids and I, and asked for a small bowl for Angel. She got a doggie bowl of ice cream. A small vanilla soft serve with a doggie cookie on top.
I am sure that bowl of ice cream with dog cookie was demolished - vicious, indeed! I hope the kids with that group got to see the guy getting lots of Angel wiggles and love!
That's exactly what I was thinking. It was ice cream with a cookie on top, a treat that needed to be eaten (hence the demolition) to avoid the risk of it melting. You go, Angel pup!Quote:

Hee hee - I wish you had had a video camera running, that must have been some sight to see!Quote:

They live across the street from a dairy farm, and next door to a horse farm. So yes, indeed - it was the bovine kind of bull! Who probably outweighed Angel pup by a good 800 pounds or so!Quote:

They gave me a baph.
Took my collars off and EVERYTHING!
Oh, Angel, pup - how awfully traumatic!!! Come see Auntie, I'll give you some extra loving ... and I have a box of c-o-o-k-i-e-s in the kitchen ...Quote:

Fourth of July was a very, very noisy day at my house, but not for the reason most of the furkids here have to deal with.
My Dad and Poppa were very, very busy wrecking pieces of my world, and the tools they were using hurt my puppy ears. There were saw, drills, and other noisy things, and my ears are very sensitive to noises. I don't like them. I kept hoping the kids would help me out, but all they could do was take me outside, which helped a little, but some of the noises were outside, too.
They did give me ice cream and a cheeseburger because I tried REALLY hard to be a good puppy.
Aww, Angel girl, I am so sorry you had to put up with that. But at least you got treats afterwards! Were you nice to Momma Jenn for her birthday?Quote:

Dad won't let me get in the pond on our morning walks, though. Something about not wanting a wet dog in bed with him, and the water makes me smell good......the humans don't think so, though.
Angel has a pond with fishies in the back yard, and she had a bull of the bovine variety visit from across the street ... what a fun, busy summer you're having, Angel pup!
I have to agree with your dad on this one. Probably best to be a dry pup when it is time for snuggles.
I almost forgot.
There's another thing Dad doesn't let me play with. I keep seeing these hoppy things all over the yard. Dad tells me that they're toads, and I won't like it if I catch one. I keep trying, though.
Oh, Angel, I know they look tempting, but trust me, they are no way near as fun as a squeaky toy - they don't even squeak! Let 'em be, pup - they are eating the bugs that otherwise might eat Dad's garden!Quote:

The second attachment does not show up! But the pond looks very tranquil in this shot! One would never know what temptations lurk below the surface!
And what do we like for a summertime snack? Watermelon rind, please!!!
Hee hee - Ramanth did not believe me that dogs would like that- but she was stunned when Chipper - a picky eater with food allergies - crunched mine down in seconds one time at Findlay!Quote:

Oh yes, Chipper adores those rinds! :D
Who's the hooman claiming to be mine?
