Well, we are winding down the Summer with two extra females in the house, one who is getting ready to return to Denver. Yes, color me jealous. The other dame is being placed on 30 day probation to determine if she enjoys a lifestyle of AC and pampering or prefers to be herding goats on a farm where a pond is her only relief. While the pup is improving, she still has a way to go. Let's see what else is up in Burn-it.
Hiking the trails at Longhorn Caverns State Park. I have no idea why we didn't see any wildlife--guess a couple ladies missed the Camouflage attire memo.
Two months on Purina, "Miracle-Gro" flavor.

Optical illusion--do you see:

Do you see:
1) An adorable puppy
2) The Devil
"Alex, I will take Texas Things Seldom Seen for $400". Late July in central Texas and our yard looks like this---without a drop of sprinkler water-WOW. Eight inches of the Lord's blessing had the mower coming out of the shed as well as mosquito spray--trade offs.
Yummy, who is up for BBQ'd chicken? I got distracted bathing the pup looking toward the ground when Brynn reported "Uncle D, I think the grill is smoking too much". SMOKING? It looked like Al Qaeda had dropped a rocket-propelled grenade on the pit--darn flammable marinade. Great excuse though to try out Whataburger's new Avocado & Bacon burger.
Perhaps this was our rain dancer who brought us good luck--working on a science project where you take a half full glass of water, seal it off with shaving cream, then pour blue food coloring through it--simulating rain. See, she did learn something this Summer. Well, except rain isn't blue.
Send A/C freon. Til next time.
She played in the water with Brynn and believes drying off involves rolling into the ONE small area of dirt we have in the backyard.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was going through similar things with my bloodhound when she was a puppy, someone asked me why I didn't get rid of her. I replied, she will grow out of it eventually, she's a great dog but also if I keep her it will be the only way I can guarantee she will not in up in the dog pound. If I gave her to a different family, with what she was doing, they would be tempted to turn her into the dog pound. :)
She is 5 yrs old now, has calmed down a lot as far as destroying things but still has that great funny bloodhound personality. For example, while I was mowing my yard last week, she was dragging my 1 pound bag of beef jerky off the kitchen island. By the time I finished the yard and saw the bag on the floor, she had eaten all of the jerky and licked out literally ever small piece of jerky. The back was completely clean. Of course by the way the 9 yr old basset was acting, I believe Winston also helped on the eating portion.
Hang in there with your dog, she'll get better.
Yeah Steve, we are trying to be patient, realizing she may improve once the 8 yr old departs, seems to need undivided attention :)
