I have 3 dogs.
My dad's old dog came to live with us after he died.
She's mostly Australian Shepherd. Deaf, nearly blind but smart! - Annie
A brittney adopted out of a kennel after being left there 2 years.
Needy, fast, but hopelessly gun shy. - Texas Ranger
A mongrel brindle that walked up out of the woods just a tiny pup.
Eye sight sucks, kinda goofy, very big and is the lead dog but doesn't want to be.
He'd rather be a follower. - Tater Tot
I have 1 husband.
Teaches the dogs new things. Like howling in song as they come up the stairs.
How to chase tennis balls. And spotting squirrels in trees.
I woke up this morning to let the dogs out to run (135 acres), feed them, and
USUSALLY they come back in to settle down for digestion and wait for husband to
get up and lead them through their day.
But today... at 6 freaking 30... on a Saturday when I was looking forward to sleeping in,
cold front moved through yesterday so its cooooold outside (at least for me)...
Today... Annie comes in to lay down.
Tater and Tex decide they should chase the huge red squirrel that lives near the house.
It must be nearly as big as a cat.
Tater and Tex decide that its better to chase the squirrel if they start barking at it...
at 6 freaking 30 in the morning.
Have they ever barked at squirrels before. Well no.
Did their tiny little pea brains decide that this morning, of all mornings, would be the best time to add in barking with squirrel-chasing. Well yes.
Is anyone out there with a rifle to shoot the squirrel. No
But the best thing to do at 6:30 on Saturday morning is act like idiotheads chasing a squirrel from tree to tree and barking at the top of your lungs while completely IGNORING calls to come back to the house.
Do they come when I call -- heck no.
Do they come when I go down and remind them to come upstairs -- heck no.
They just give me a slight glance and keep working that tree.
Does the squirrel purposely aggravate them -- well of course.
Does this go on for a freaking hour -- well of course.
Do I get to sleep in on Saturday --- well of course NOT.
Does my husband sleep through all this -- well of course.
Sometimes being a morning person with barking dogs is an aggravating way to start your day.
