Snoozing

I heard snoring. I turned around and this is what I saw. If only we could be this comfortable when we sleep. :)

He's done it again......

So, he's done it again. Thanks to (I'm sure you guessed it) Thumper, I'm now frequenting the chiropractors office.

It started a couple of weeks ago....this really irritating popping in my neck and headaches. Awful headaches. While reviewing my situation with the doc, he asked if I had been in any accidents or been jarred lately. Ha! That "jarred" my memory. I had definitely been jerked around by dear Thumper on a walk, when we happened upon 2 dachshunds hanging out (unleashed of course) with their human. Seriously, who lets little dogs with no leashes loiter in a street at 9:30 at night? Anyway, the dachshunds moved, Thumper caught sight of it, and then he lunged. Omg. Totally caught me off guard, because he had been acting like he was going to ignore them. Im really glad he didn't get the dachshunds. He looked really sorry for misbehaving when I finally got him back by me. I really hope the doc can make my neck normal again. Til then he's in time out! Lightning is enjoying Thumpers new status, I think.

I am such a good boy.  Aren't I, Mom?
Can we go for a walk?  I know how to heel like a good dog...we can leave Thumper here.

Monday Mischief: Halloween

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN I BE THE VERMINATOR FOR HALLOWEEN???
I'VE EARNED IT!  I'LL JUST NEED YOU TO MAKE ME A CAPE WITH A BIG
V ON IT.   AND A PICTURE OF A DEAD MOLE, LIZARD, GECKO, FROG, TOAD, MOUSE, LOCUST, AND COCKROACH! 

Ah, another Monday.  More mischief. 

First, I almost made myself hoarse this weekend yelling for Lightning to stop scavenging in the yard.  You can imagine what he was scavenging....it wasn't dog treats, hickory nuts, sticks....nothing nearly so not stinky.  I'm not even going to honor that bit of mischief with a picture.  He knew he was wrong.  He would sneak a peak at the door (I was watching through a window instead) and then go for it.  Gross.

Then, I kept seeing Thumper going to the same spot in the yard and sniffing.  Then he would sit down by it and guard it.  I ignored him for awhile because the ground just looked flat.  Eventually curiosity got the better of me, and I investigated.  Right about that time he decided to grab his treasure and make a run for the open door.  I yelled, "THUMPER!  DROP IT!"  And he did.  It was a dead mouse.  At first I thought it was a frog, but frogs don't have long skinny tails.  EWWWW!!!!!  This dog is lethal, as long as he's hunting tiny yard creatures (or not so tiny yard creatures....as he showed us with last summer's mole murder).  Anyway, true to form for the weekend, I screamed and the hubby ran to my rescue.

This morning Hubby informs me that Thumper wants to be the Verminator for Halloween.  Apparently he and Thump have a special relationship and "talk".  Lol. 

Happy Monday, everyone.  I'm not yelling today.  Whew.  Back to my desk and away from the naughty pups. 

Wordless Wednesday-The Ear that Defies Gravity

Sort of Monday Mischief

I've been trying to exercise more. I walk the dogs more and have started to run with them too. They have to be leashed since Thumper has no self control, so my walk / run really keeping up with Thumper. He is much faster than Lighthing and I would otherwise go. He believes he must always be in the lead....so my walk / run proceeds with him doing something like this (see picture below). yes, the picture is a bit blurry, but that is pretty much how these treks go. Happy Monday everyone!

Monday Mischief

Can you see him? Not sure what he was hiding from, but he was doing a great job!
