Awww, Angel pup! Can you go out quickly, and then hurry back inside? It snowed in Chicago overnight, just enough to provide a fresh coating - but now, 5:30ish AM, I can hear the rain (or maybe freezing rain?) falling on the metal roof vent. I don't blame you for not wanting to go outside in the cold. Maybe your young human will give you a few scritches when you come back inside, and you can get back on your blanket-nest. And I agree about the basement, no demons there. Your people will help you if you should ever need to go down there for some reason.

Every once in a while I see Angel carry two tennis balls in her mouth and wondered how she did it, now I know....

We pick up one tennis ball and carry it over to the other, we put the one we are carrying down next to the one already on the floor. We then procede to step on one so it doesn't move and pick up both at the same time by grabbing in the middle of two and pick them up.

( Yeah, she's just a dumb dog......)

We once had someone complain to us that we were promoting dog abuse when we featured a Dog of the Day, Farley*, with three tennis balls in his mouth at once, when you and I know that for most dogs, Angel, any Retrievers of any sort - the more tennis balls the better!

Last night something happened that hasn't happened since Lady went to the bridge:

I was poked in the ribs by a dog wanting attention.

Her usual methods must not have worked, so she consulted Lady angel, I bet!

Apparently, if LH isn't around to follow the routine AH is an acceptable substitute.

Awwww, that's fun! It's always interesting to see who places where on a dog's priority list!

Angel pup, next time your dad is having a cookie, could you please have him serve you a treat for me? (if he says you can have one) Happy Saturday!

LOH's response to you, Cassiesmom?

Great, now you've got Pet Talk spoiling her, too!

pssst... Angel ... it's been almost a week since your dad served you a treat for me ... could you please have him do it again? (if he says it is okay for you to have one) I know that you are a good girl, you go out with your people when it is time, and you give your people tons of smiles just by being yourself! So, if it were me I would be serving you a treat. I hope it's okay. Or maybe some extra petting, if dad says no treat right now.

Your admiring fan,
