Boy, what a run!

One would think that October and the Fall season would bring about a change in temperature. Yet, last week we succumbed to their wishes and took Daisy and Gretchen for a run in the hills. By the time we got back to the house she did not even want to spend the energy getting water and instead she immediately collapsed onto the cool tile to recuperate. And cool herself off naturally…

Need new drapes

I guess Daisy did not like the drapes! And yes that is her head through the bottom of the curtains.

A rug for comfort

I guess the tile got a little too cold for Gretchen as she decided to rearrange our front door rug to suit her moment of zen.

Like an Elephant

A memory like an elephant is an old adage that most definitely applies to Gretchen. However, the memory is not used as a survival technique to find food or water in a harsh environment, but solely a tool for entertainment. One of her favorite games is chasing a laser pointer and has since come to associate any type of writing utensil as a laser. Thus, writing in her presence becomes a lesson in patience as she sits and stares or even attempts to bite the pen in an attempt to initiate the light show.

Gretchen knows exactly where the laser was left last. Case in point, instead of her playing out front with Daisy while we wash the truck, Gretchen is in the garage staring and barking at the cabinet as if letting us know we have forgotten to set the laser free and start the fun. Mind you, she has not seen the laser for about 2 weeks, but she remembers exactly where I put it the last time I had it out.

If only she could remember where I put my keys, wallet, etc.
