A day in the life of Aries Bubba

The New Little Man....

My Auntie decided that she needed a new man in her life..... so she brought home Rascal.

He's cute... in that... I'm too short to even be able to jump up on the couch way....

But he's fun to play with and chase in the backyard.

Plus... he annoys my sis Angel - Always a big plus in my book :)

Not the only jumper in the family

Last year, Mom and Dad had the backyard fence replaced. They kept talking about my jumping skills (I've been known to jump over the sofa - and clear it completely) and something about the fence not being tall enough if I should ever realize I could go vertical.
So they replaced the fence (a 4-5 feet wire one) with a 7 ft tall wood one. Not only can I not even think about jumping it... I can't even see through it (well except through this one hole but don't tell them ok?).

So I was completely secure that I was the jumper in my family. I mean I love my sis Angel... but she (along with my Mom) kinda define the word klutz. If there's a way to trip or walk into a wall, they'll do it.

A few months ago the people next door got a new dog. Me, I could care less... He barks alot but whatever. Angel on the other hand, doesn't seem to like him much and barks back (along with jumping upon the fence). So Dad blocked off that section of the yardwith a 4 ft tall fabric fence. Well, glory be, Angel learned to jump over it. You should have seen the look on Mom's face the first time she saw Angel do it - absolute shock. Mom actually went back in the house to go wake up Dad - before noon - so that he could witness Angel jumping back over.

I'm so proud of my sis for finally learning to jump.... now if she would just let me retrieve the ball more. I mean, I can actually catch it.. she just runs after it and picks it up.

Ah.. what's that? Sorry, gotta go, the couch is calling me for my morning nap.
