Not so likely to bark at squirrels or howl at fire trucks.

I look blissful when someone else scratches my back…

I say this as I look over at our Beagle sleeping on the back of C’s legs and our Terrier pressed against his hip. Not only are they both blissfully asleep, this way they are instantly alerted any time something “exciting” happens and C needs to move.

How I’m still alive is beyond me.

My husband frequently chases Dewi around the house at full speed. (Don’t ask – it’s male bonding.) They laugh and snort like hyenas. Maybe I’ll try it tomorrow. ๐Ÿ™‚

BTW – I always had to go to work in the snow. It stunk. My kids, however, get snow days sometimes even for forecasted winter weather. It’s because of people like me who are driving in “autopilot.” ๐Ÿ™

I find my kitties are totally in tune to “feeding time” and sit there and stare at me until I get up and do it. Sage knows the cues for a walk, except she thinks it’s every time I put my coat on (unless I tell her I’m “going to the store”). And, it’s play time after dinner. Pretty much routine!!

Just one question, can you get those nice wrap around white coats in other colors? White jackets just aren’t my style!

You left out chewing up someone’s lip balm and then giving them a big sloppy kiss! ๐Ÿ˜› I think it’s because dogs never see the world as mundane. It’s always an adventure waiting to happen!

I try to never go on the same walk two days in a row. Because I live in a residential area, there are only so many paths we can travel on. But I think Shiva likes to change it up as much as I do so we try to go on a different route every time, not returning to a given neighbourhood or park until a few days later. She gets to maximize her sniffing skills that way. ๐Ÿ™‚

I saw a human in a car the other day howling at the top of his lungs to a Celine Dion song on the radio. He looked like he had lots of fun and all other humans who saw him were smiling. I tried to cover my ears.

I always howl at fire trucks, police cars and ambulances. I like to think I’m showing them support. But I’ve never seen any of my humans do the same thing ๐Ÿ™‚
