This morning, she freaked out a little because while she was putting on her beee-utiful fancy white pants and beeee-youuuuuteeeful fancy blue swingy top for a trip out with Grandma Hinkle, and I was busy in the dog yard doing dog things before I had to go to the crate.
When she came to get to get me, boy was she surprised! My little white face and long white legs were covered. . . and I mean C - O - V- E- R-ed in dirt - oh yeah - and water - - -the water made it really cool! See, I have a nice bucket of water in my dog house and sometimes when I go to get a drink I think I might see a bug in there but mom thinks I see my own nose and then I try to get it with my mouth and my foot. So that got boring and then I went to work on digging my hole to China.
Well, I ran straight up to - OK - maybe straight INTO mom when I saw her coming and she started shouting and spinning in circles holding her top up and pushing me away, which is a super cool game and I wanted to play it even more! There was a lot of wiping that went on in the next few minutes. . . .
Then today is cleaning day at our house when our Deana comes with the little people-puppy to help mom. That little people-puppy is growing so fast! Mom says he is 10 months old today and he is taking 3 or more steps all by himself! I guess that's good for a people puppy, but would be really slow for a dog puppy! Man, I can't even imagine having to be carried around for 10 months! I'd go nuts!
Well, I think that long wait has actually affected that people-puppy's brain. . . uh. . .trying to be kind here .....because, well, he tried to bite me today - right through the big glass door! Ya huh! He really did. I was on the outside, staying safe from Oreck when he came right up to my place by the window and freaked me out so bad I jumped a mile high! Then I see he could not get me so I just got back close to the door and thought it would be a good time to really check him out.
As soon as I got close enough to look at him - HE TRIED TO BITE me! He put his mouth on the window and sucked his lips to the glass and showed me his two tiny razor sharp bottom teeth and his one bigger top tooth and then made a horrible noise while he banged on the window right at me! Well! I NEVER! Mom was laughing but she wasn't seeing that giant baby mouth from my side of the glass, and if she did, I'd bet she'd think twice before letting that kid near her face!
So after they left and mom kept cleaning, I dinked around for a while and it was so hot, but our air is on and then the lawn guys came and scared me so I went to find something to do. Here it is
No - this isn't ME (giggle giggle) this is what I was working on! Phew! I know, right? Bet you were thinking I started ripping my hair out at the skin, but nope - I decided to wrestle with mom's sheepskin rug that is in our guest bedroom, and boy, did it put up a good fight! I wanted to keep on going, but when mom caught me she put a stop to it immediately.
I tried to explain that it wasn't my fur all over and that I wasn't hurt or anything and it was just us playing, but I'm starting to think she wasn't worried about me. I guess she likes that rug a lot.
Well, I can't worry about it. I am remembering my last dog class yesterday when I learned to shake for a treat, and I also am learning "leave it" which is something I don't really like to do because it is the opposite of doing something but it is really NOT doing something. But, even when I leave a yummy treat alone when they say "leave it!", strangely, I get a different yummy treat! It's the craziest thing ever. Mom's a little slow on the go, and she is there clicking the clicker and saying words and dropping treats and I bite her fingers sometimes, and finally....... my teacher takes over and gets us all back on track. Mom really needs some practice, but I'm helping her.
So today, I hope you had the best HOT day ever and that your mom lets you get muddy if you want to, and keeps vampire babies away to keep you safe. xox Ardie (Brown is the new white) Goff
That scared me I thought your mom shaved you Ardie - whew!
