New Food

Kearney - TM made a big pan of our raw food tonight.  She said the grinder is working very well now that she has the blade in right.

We hadn't had dinner yet, so we were drooling.  TM let me clean up what she was dropping.  Lowri had to stay crated until TM was done.  Boy, was Lowri MAD!

Lowri - I barked and barked at TM to try and get her to let me out.  She wouldn't until I was quiet!  I mean really, who is training whom here???  I bark, she is supposed to jump.  I don't think TM read the rules.

But, oh man, the new food was good!  Kearney and I got it for supper tonight.  Then TM let me out so I could help her clean up.  I am a very good helper!  TM said she made 22 pounds of food tonight.  All I can say is "YUM!"

Whoa

Lowri - Whoa, I just taught TM a BAD trick.  Apparently, once she knows that we know the word Come, it is no longer fun and games.  She expects us to actually come.  We get happy voice, good words and scritches when we come.  But if we give her the paw, because we have other things to do, she is not happy.  I did it twice to her tonight.  I don't think I will do it again!  She walked me down, picked me up, chewed me out, shook me just a little bit, growled some more, then put me down.  When she called me and I came beat feet to her, she was her normal, happy self.  I got lots of scritches.  When she called me the last time, I thought about the paw, but I chose to go to her instead.  She was very happy with me.

Kearney - I remember that, kind of vaguely.  I know it is good to come when she calls.  She is always happy then.  TM says this is a very important word.  She wants us to come EVERY time.  It is a really good trick, Lowri.  TM says it could save our life someday.  You are much better off to just give in and come when she calls.

Phone stuff

Kearney - This must be the day for phone stuff to be happening.  MP just bought a new phone.  TM just made a discovery on hers.

Lowri - Yeah (snicker), TM has had her phone for about four years.  Today she discovered she has a speakerphone.  All I can say is Read the instruction booklet, MP!  Obviously, TM didn't (giggle, giggle).

Kearney - But Lowri, TM DID remember to feed you this morning!  Keep that up and she might "forget".

Hot Water

Kearney - TM was happy this morning that she could take a hot shower.  She had plenty of hot water.  There was actually too much.  Both Lowri and I landed in hot water when TM found us with another dead duck.  We couldn't even try to blame anyone else.  It was pretty obvious that we did it.  TM barely talked to us for the rest of the afternoon.

Lowri - Well, it wasn't our fault.  The stupid duck had got out of her pen.  What were we supposed to do????  TM fixed the hole where they apparently were escaping.  Too bad.

I learned a new trick.  Last night, TM was tossing me hotdog pieces.  After the first few bounced off my head, I started trying to catch them.  Tonight I caught several pieces.  TM seemed pretty pleased.  When we got back, I got my peds cured again.  Geez, that seems to happen a lot!

I also got to see another one of TM clients.  She thought I was beautiful!  She gave me good scritches.  Overall, it was a good day.  I just think we should forget about the duck part.

I almost forgot!  TM filled out my entries for my first show.  I can't wait to go and be a princess for real!

Monroe, Waterheaters and Scritches

Kearney - My sister, Treasure, won the point at the show today.  I was glad to hear that as it was a long way to go.  My aunt, Monroe, has been visiting us while MC was away.  TM says she has been a perfect houseguest.  She errrrr'ed a few times at Lowri, but the brat deserved it.  Auntie Monroe didn't punish her once!  TM was impressed.

Lowri - Kearney, TM was too busy with the waterheater to be impressed with anything Miss Monroe did.  She had to have those people over twice.  One of them did scritch me, but not for very long.  I looked my cutest trying to get more scritches, but they just wanted to get the the job done so they could leave.  At least while she waited for them to come back today, she took me for a walk.

It was great!  I got a hotdog, just for trotting beside TM and then stopping and looking pretty.  I mean how hard is THAT?  I look pretty when I first get up in the morning!

Picture Proof

 Kearney - Here is a picture of me (ignore the brat) showing I am feeling good.  TM said I was moving too fast to get good focus with the camera.  But you can see what I have to put up with from the child.  It is like this all the time!

Lowri - I was having a Xena, Warrior Princess, moment.

TM is still dealing with the water heater.  The guy came, looked at it, and left.  TM says he went away to spend ALL of her money.  I hope he doesn't, entry fees for my first show are due!

All Better

Kearney - I am all better now.  I am feeling my oats, running and playing with Lowri and Monroe.  TM finally figured out that I am psychic.  Because we were home today, she was able to get all over the problem when the water heater gave up the ghost this morning.  If we had been at the show, just think of the mess she would have been dealing with when she got back late Sunday night!  I am a very good boy!
