Full Moon And Boredom

It's A First

Lucy and Sable got to meet my great nephew yesterday when my niece gave us a surprise visit. It was the first time for them being around a baby. They didn't really know what to think. Sable kept trying to lick him and Lucy just sniffed then went and sat down by herself not understanding what all the commotion was about. I don't think I like the idea of big dogs around a baby. But they were on good behavior and he got a good case of the giggles.

She's Always Happy When The AC's On High

Have You Heard?

Have you heard that it's bad for your pets to ride with their heads out the window? I understand the flying debris/safety issue but have you heard that it can eventually cause cataracts? I was just wondering. My girls love to have the window down. Although, I never get on the freeway or drive at a high rate of speed for any length of time with the window down.

It's Getting Hot Outside

My girls are just a huffing and a puffing. It's only May and hitting 90 degrees and Lucy and Sable don't like it. They don't even follow me around in the yard now. They usually do their gender proud and love to watch a man work around the house and yard but not for now. Sable has resorted to just peeking out the pet door. At least Lucy will come out and laugh at me sweating. Oh well. It will be cooler in October.

No Dog Park For My Girls

Sadly due to the heavy rains we got here in the Houston area the last 3 weeks, our play ground is under water. It is part of the Barker Cypress Reservoir and as you can see in the photo above it is not receding as fast as Lucy and Sable would like. Since we do not have a boat we will stick to neighborhood walks.

Intimidating?

I get annoyed when these groups of pure breed owners meet and congregate at the dog park. I'm especially peeved when their dogs are aggressive such as these bulldogs. They are constantly getting into scuffles with other dogs and you can hear it all over the 11 acre park. Why would you bring a dog you can't let off lease to a dog park where dogs run free? I say you do it to intimidate other dogs and their owners. Sure I am a bit cynical but...

And I Know Pure Breeds

I got the AKC papers to prove it. Just look at my precious Lucy as she curses me for the AC not being on high and the radio too loud. Seriously, she can embarrass me when we are at the park or just walking around the hood. She is VERY protective of me and her sister Sable. Now don't get me wrong. She rarely shows us any affection. She is aloof and snooty like a pure breed. I guess. But let anyone walk up to me or Sable and watch out. She always growls and barks till she runs them off. No wonder we can't make friends.
