Since the eventful day when I finally managed to get two of those little balls with the faces on them in my mouth at once I have made an interesting discovery. They are very squashy so IF I do it right, I can actually fit all four of them in at once!!! Well, I could until Georgie finally chewed up one of the pink ones beyond recognization. It wasn't her fault exactly, first Toto made a hole in it, then Riley stretched it out a bit, then Georgie got hold of it. Mom finally took it away!
She says one of these days she's gonna make a trip down to the nearest Petco and get a whole bunch of them. She would order them online but she has no idea about the shipping...they are really inexpensive, like $1.85 each, but the shipping says $5.00. Mom doesn't know how many they will ship for that amount. If they would ship 10 she would be fine with that.
Anyway, change the subject... Mom seems to think that she will enjoy me racing thru the fields with long, flowing hair. As you may remember, I am a mud puppy and will search out and play in any mud I can find. I think it's gonna be a contest to see whether the long, flowing hair wins OR the mud wins. I vote for the mud!!!
So far, I must admit, the long, flowing hair IS winning. I have finally stopped losing my puppy coat so the matting is not nearly as bad...that was the worse issue. I really don't mind the weekly baths...I think of it as a massage of sorts, and I do like the attention. Plus, I get to spend the entire day over at the kennel with all the attention that brings. Not totally a wasted day, that's for sure.
It would be fine IF it never rained but... when it rains it makes puddles in our pens and I HAVE to run thru those puddles. I HAVE to splash around enough to make sure the mud is nice and gooey... then I HAVE to make sure it coats all four of my legs AND my belly. Need I say more????
