Dog Wednesday

So, since my dogs give me lots of good stories, I'm going to try to share one every Wednesday. They make for good laughs! Anyway, Suzzy has decided that when I'm not around that she should be the mommy. And not just the mommy to Ellie, but also to Blake. I'm aware that this is not good and we have fixed it mostly, but it's funny to watch. While Blake is crawling around on the floor, Suzzy proceeds to follow him. If he gets too close to the outlet (which is covered) or something on the floor, she tries to nudge him away. And yes, nudge. Without teeth or violence, for those who are worried. However, she's not too fond of sharing her water bowl or her dog dish with Blake. Blake doesn't care if she's not into sharing because he figures that since he has to share his puffs with her then she can share her food.

Raun came to the bathroom on Monday, while I was getting ready, so he could ask a question. It was quiet, which is never a good sign. Raun came out to check on him and all I hear is "no, no, no." I came out, concerned, and to my dismay I see Raun pulling out a handful of dog food. Disgusting! Apparently Blake likes it and Suzzy particularly likes it once it's been in Blake's mouth. I, however, don't like it. We were thankful he didn't choke on it. Since then, I've had to move the dog food because it's so tempting. He is learning "no" and thankfully we haven't had anymore episodes. The water in the water bowl is an entirely different story. He likes to measure the water on his arm. He's a good indicator to remind me when to fill up the bowl for the dogs because it's running low. I know if there's not much water on the floor, then it's time to refill.

He still laughs so hard when he sees the pups. He loves to play tug-of-war with them and they love it, too. Suzzy likes it when he has the bone and she can play with him.

I babysat Kayden on Saturday night so Kelsey could go to graduation and it was so much fun. I'll share stories and pictures on him in a later post. But I said that to say that Suzzy protected Kayden from Ellie and Blake. She would sit by his seat and if anyone go a little too hyper, she would bark. She was fine with us picking him up and playing with him, but wanted to make sure that he didn't get hurt. It's amazing how dogs know so much. Especially her. Ellie is completely different, and usually oblivious to things going on around her. Suzzy is much more in tune with things and is incredibly smart.

That's the dog post for the day! I'll try to post pictures and a few more updates during the rest of the week in between moving furniture and finishing up laying down the floor (which Raun is doing, not me!).
