Repost from 10.26.12: Dogs Telling Secrets

Shhhhh….don’t tell but….
Photo taken by K8

Sometimes I think the dogs are telling each other little secrets that I am just not part of.  They have their own sister language that does not include anyone else. Maybe they are planning how to break out of the yard by digging a hole under the fence (that would definitely by Sofie’s idea). Or they are planning a special surprise ambush of a cat or two when they return inside later that day (also a Sofie idea). Wait, maybe it is about hiding all the broken toys so that Mommy doesn’t find them (this would be a Louise idea).

Do dogs have secrets?

Can they be trusted to keep a secret?

Have you ever seen a dog on the front of one of the trashy magazines at the grocery store bragging about all the stupid and immature things that their celebrity owners did? No. Neither have I. Dogs must actually be really good at keeping secrets.Just imagine the headlines if some of those canine or felines (like the Royal Corgies in the Queen’s parlor) told the world what they really saw.

I trust my dogs with my deepest thoughts and I think they honor that…. unless, of course, someone pays them a lot of bones to spill the beans. BOL BOL BOL

Monday Mischief: Reflection

mm-10-10-16

Sometimes at night, I have no idea where the dogs are in the yard. Usually I can see Sofie’s blond fur reflecting some light. But Louise, in all her sleek and beautiful blackness, disappears into the darkness. I try to keep a reflective collar on her so that I can find her. Even with that, she sometimes comes running out of no where in the night and scares the pants off of me. And, if she is busy with some squirrel or hole digging and does not want to come in, there is no way that I am finding her at night. Nights are made for mischief and black dogs can rule the night!

What mischief did you get into today?

Black and White Sunday: Being Dog

10-9-16

This is the time of year that I look at the year past, and try to make amends for any wrong doing, and then look ahead to the year to come, hopefully with a clean slate. Dogs don’t know about that stuff. Anything they did, good or bad, is in the past, and they just move on from there. They tend to live in the moment. I aspire to be more like a dog sometimes. The past, is gone, I can remember it and learn from it, but I can not change it. Staying in the past will only make me sad. I always try to be a better human going forward. That is something that I can affect. But, on the other hand, worrying too much about the future can make me anxious. It is best not to go too far out (except maybe with retirement planning :-)). Being present, being in the now, being ‘dog,’ seems to be a great place to be.

Happy Sunday!

Wordless Wednesday: Watching

ww-10-5-16

 So many little humans getting off the school bus.

Mojo and Zelda are walking with their human. NO FAIR!

There’s a squirrel in the tree. Let me at it!

Where’s that fox? I smell it.

What’s all that catawalling down at the house with those 4 cats?

I love when Mom leaves the window open.

  Hope you are having a great Wednesday.

Monday Mischief: Hoover (aka Louise), the Plott Hound

mm-9-26-16

Louise is such a hound dog. I know people think she is a little Labrador, but actually, she is much more hound. I am thinking Plott hound. I actually found pictures of Plott hounds on the internet that look exactly like her.

plott-hounds

She hates water for one thing (aren’t labs supposed to love water?). And she doesn’t have webbed feet. Her nose is stuck to the ground always trailing some scent. She can smell a fox a mile away. I think I am going to rename her ‘Hoover,’ after the vacuum cleaner. Lulu, I think I found your family tree. Not that it is really important, but sometimes knowing the linage of your dog can help you with training, medical, and other issues. They say Plott Hounds are loyal and stubborn. That would be my girl!
Happy Louise

Wordless Wednesday: Kissing Summer Good Bye

WW 9.21.16 End summer

Tomorrow (September 22) at 10:21 am EDT it will officially be Autumn for us (the Autumnal Equinox). How can that have happened already? Wasn’t it just spring? There is nothing more incredible than the changing of the seasons. Mom loves autumn best of all. She loves the crisper days, and the fall tones of orange, yellow, brown and red. As the plants end their growth cycles and creatures go south or under ground, it makes us aware of the renewal that will come on the other side of winter. Sofie and I are both born in fall. Maybe that is why Mom loves this season so much? I was born on Halloween and Sofie on Thanksgiving (or at least that is what Mom tells us). As we kiss summer good bye, we say thank you to the earth for the wonderful colors, warm waters, butterflies and birds. Bye Bye, Summer. – Love, Louise

Have a wonderful Wednesday.
