saturday night.
watching snl, sitting at my desk editing photos.
pickles gets tired, walks into her crate and lays down.
the cat comes up. she pats me on the leg. i let her jump up. she purrs then pops down.
she walks toward the crate.
pickles sits up.
the sniff each other through the open door.
spree walks in. pickles looks at her like she’s a space alien.
cat rubs against the dog a couple times then makes her way to the back of the crate. lays down.
dog looks confused…then lays back down.
and there you have it.
weirdness.

must there always be so much cuteness?
no wonder i never get anything done around here! sweet babies are always looking at me, trying to be adorable.
paws and muzzles and bellies…
so much snuggling, so little time.

and then september 13th came. that’s the day i found cody bear, a tiny little ball of fur in cage one at the humane society. quiet and cuddly. he was a giant fluffy head and a tiny little body. and now he’s a gigantic bear!
one who is quite used to having his picture taken.
a fuzzy dog who is very aware that he is cherished!
and happens to shed a bunch. oh well.

so, i’m home for lunch. i was greeted at the front door by two very waggy, spinny, smily furpods.
here they are after their potty break:
should i go back to work, or should i stay home with the smilers?

one year ago today i brought this gentle yet sassy border collie puppy home.
when i announced i was getting a border collie puppy everyone’s first reaction was…., “how do you think cody bear will handle it?”
he handled it o.k. actually. but she was just terrified of him initially. here she hides from him while he runs hell-on-paws around the yard…
she didn’t know what to make of this fast moving, furry bear.
within weeks she grew confident. she took his toys….she took his chewies…
cody bear was patient…and frustrated.
but mostly, he was afraid to stand up for himself against her. he somehow sensed i would be mad. so he tried to be gentle. tried not scare the puppy.
they learned to share.
one year later…
they’re inseperable. they get eachother goin’.
they’re bff…they’re family.
they play hard. they’re complete opposites.
cody bear and i talked about it. it’s been a year.
we both agree: we love her. she smells bad, she’s constantly dirty, she’s kind of selfish, her nose is always in the wrong place….but…we both love her…and we’re going to keep her.
ha ha! like you would believe me if i told you i would toss her back!?
happy anniversary pickles. you’re our girl.

we got a lady bug award from dennis! thanks vizsla pal!
we should be blogging more regularly again. sorry about the infrequent posting…we’ve been…otherwise engaged!
so, let’s talk about lunch time with cody bear and pickles!
i come home. we spend a minute or two snuggling. then we to the back door and the munckins are told to “wait”….then i say “ok” and…well…this happens….
CHARGE!
then this happens…
cody bear starts checking the perimeter, looking for cats. and pickles? she starts looking for sticks to chew and lizards to pounce on.
afterwards we have some lunch, some treats, check some email, bellies are rubbed. then i go back to work.
all in a lunch hour.
