Who Me?


So, some of you may have noticed that its been a little longer...(well okay, so we try to post each week, and we have been known to go a couple weeks between posts...but this time there were extenuating circumstance) ie. Grizzly ate the internet connection!
Yes, its true. They are rather certain anyway that it was Grizzly afterall couldn't be me, I'm such a well behaved dog. Anyway, I've noticed our freedom in the dog room has gradually been curtailed, usually after finding SHE in a not very good mood upon arriving home. SHE gets so upset about little things, like dog beds being outside, or anything left in the yard being rearranged to a much more interesting location. Or I have to admit, maybe spreading white feathers around the yard wasn't the best idea we ever had, as SHE thought for a minute we had somehow gotten hold of one of the new chickens. But what's a dog (or two) to do when left home alone all day? Grizzly had the bright idea of getting into a rubbermaid container that was left near our pen. He wiggled the pen aside then peeked inside, low and behold finding all these neat feathers in plastic bags...very strange, so we had to investigate, hence white feathers all over the lawn. This was before the snow returned of course, for maximum effect. Incidently, HE says we can stay since we didn't also eat the waders that were also in the box containing HIS fly-fishing stuff:-)
So, the pen in the dog room was reinforced, allowing us to continue to relieve ourselves as needed, but strictly reducing the amount of exploring (or chewing on workbench legs) that we were previously able to do. But....they forgot one little detail...and Grizzly didn't overlook it. The router for the internet was sitting about 4 feet up on the window sill. With nothing else for entertainment he decided to pull it on over and munch on the antennae and cord which extended into the wall.
So here's our post a wee bit late this time around. Lucky for him, he didn't eat the whole router, and after a nice visit from a kind man, and relocation of the fun box to the highest shelf in the room with cords all nicely tucked away, we are back up and running!
I had excitement of my own, a visit to a vet, with lots of treats along the way. They came home and finally noticed my poor little dew claw jutting out at a strange angle. Must have been Grizzly's fault again:-) Anway, a snip and clip and I was good to go, a little sore and a couple days going to work with SHE to prevent play and I'm feeling much better.
THEY hope we've gotten whatever it is out of our system because we're apparently having a dog-sitter for a week. We'll see how that goes!

  • At least you are not locked in cages!!! We are in our cages all day long, except Bruno! He get to roam around all day. But we like our cages anyways, we sleep in it even when we don't have to. It's our own little space!

  • Feathers are so much fun! I don't blame you guys for wanting to play with them. :-)

  • Oh boy, eating the router... that's a new one! Rambunctious little fellows you are, aren't you?
