Hooh boy. I am so tired of winter.
Even when there is a break in the weather and Lisa opens the door so I can see out continue my vigilant protection of the homestead,
that snow soon returns.
We just can't catch a break.
My toys are boring and I don't have enough of them to play with anyway.
Molly just wants to sleep and won't play with me.
Going to Grammy and Boompa's house for the day is a bright spot.
But in the end, all Pepper and Tammo really want to do
is snooze all day. Well, Tammo will play for a FEW minutes, but I need more exercise than that!
Because of the cold and snowy winter, no one is out walking their dogs.
Still, I remain on active duty. Constant vigilance!!
Sigh.
Bored, bored, bored, bored, BORED.
WAIT!! What is that?? Could it be?? Why, yes, I think it just might!
Alert! Alert! Alert! Alert! Everybody meet me in the living room! STAT!
::Yawn:: ::Grumble and mutter:: ::Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle::
This had better be good, Nash. We were all very comfy and sound asleep.
Oh, it is, Pepper, it is! In fact, it's super exciting! I rolled when I went out to survey the backyard for safety, and look what's on my back!
::long silence::
Um, Nash, just what is that?
The first blade of grass of Spring! Spring's coming! It's gonna be getting warm and we will be able to get outside more and play in the sun!
:: General doggy cheering, great warooos, arfs, and barks::
Dogs, dogs! What is going on here!!
Lynn, look at my back! Do you see it?
What, the green thread that's from my last sewing project?
::long silence::
Aw, I'm just kidding you. Looks like a blade of grass to me, Nash. How about we all celebrate that sign of Spring with...
Ooo! Let's go get pup cups!
Can we please take a walk?
::Loud, shrill, whistle::
Listen up, pups! How about some of the special treats I keep in the pantry for big occasions?
::general doggy cheering and pandemonium::
::munch, munch, munch, munch::
That was yummy! If I bring in another blade of grass tomorrow, can we have those pup cups?
Seriously?? Frisbee is good exercise; we should celebrate that way.
Well, so is walking. We should do that.
::Sound fades and the dogs disperse to their comfy beds while arguing the choices::
ZZZZZzzzzzzz.....
Notes about this story:
Yes, Nash loves the outdoors and would much prefer to be outside than inside.
He really did roll in the dead grass in our backyard and when he came in, I noticed the green blade of grass and took a photo of it because, Spring!
Nash is well known for howling along with ambulances and other emergency vehicles. I was working in my office and he was looking out the window when he heard this one and started in. I grabbed my camera but only got the tail end of his howling.
The pics of the pup cup and the frisbee are from Google. I could not find any of my own. However, that is Tammo on the leash and going for a walk.
