ruff!

Dogs are so amazing. Well, all creatures are amazing in their own way…but dogs rule!

They’re capable of such love.

You know I love our dogs. They make us laugh every single day for some reason or another. And they have such expressive little furry faces.

Greta is 9 years old now. For 9 years, I’ve been playing hide and seek with her. Pepper will be 5 this year. She started to join in about 3 years ago. So, here’s what we do. The man keeps them occupied and I go and hide someplace in the house. When I’m out of sight, I knock on the wall and the man says, “where’s da mama?!” And they run off to find me. Sometimes it’s easy – they know most of my hiding places now. Last night was different though. I was putting the laundry away and hanging things up in the new walk-in closet. Greta was laying on the floor in front of the bedroom door. She always guards the door when I'm in the bedroom or the shower. When I was done, I turned out the light and hid behind the tall bar of clothes to the right of the door. I waited for a minute and then I knocked on the wall. Greta came running into the closet, stopped, listened, looked around and ran out. About a 30 seconds later she came back in, sat down just inside the door, staring straight ahead, waited a few seconds, and then let out her biggest bark, sneezed and shook her head. I know what she was thinking…ruff, I KNOW you didn’t leave the bedroom…grrrr…I can smell you…where are you dammit! BARK!!

I just had to laugh. She found me right away then J
