Dog Stories: My Little Dog
there otta be a pet section???
MLD is now 8.7lbs of fluff, eternal entertainment and the happiest little
dog living with me.
At 3:15 A.M. Monday morning she woke me up; barking out in the tiny backyard. It took me awhile to move and get up and outside..with flashlight in hand.
The beam went directly to the noise; In the far corner of the yard (about 24 feet away) against the white crossed patterns of the fence, there is some sort of Critter...Frightened to death and MLD barking at it; about 1 foot of distance between their faces.
My tiny little dog has it 'cornered'
The poor things face looked like a frozen monkey with its eyes wide open and its hair standing up.
As MLD heard me approach, she lurched at the critter (to 'protect' me and it jumped a bit and scared the crap outta me!
Oh, what to do. MLD is 'protecting' me. I called MLD to come to me. She slowly walked about 7 feet away and did her business.. AS the Critter Escaped!
I first thot, a possum..no--when it squeezed thru the gate, I could clearly see its profile..not a possum..not a cat. and certainly not a skunk (she has been 'skunked' about 6 times in the past 18 mos.). I try to remember to close the doggie door at night.
Well it was a WEASEL. I've never seen one before and we aren't 'suppose' to have them, here. With all the recent fires, now, we have Weasels.
Sadly, I am certain, MLD only wants to play with these wild critters but, they don't know it.
MLD has brought a big fat live mouse in the house and a baby skunk, so far. That was during daylight hours, too!
Wondering what is next...provided I remember to close the doggie door at night.
MLD is one of the happiest dogs on the planet. I am not sure where she gets that from, but it sure keeps me uplifted! Just a tiny little dog with white and a big brown spot, like a Jack Russell and is half Shih Tzu.
Yesterday, I took her bowl of water and washed it, the phone rang and the caller was annoyed by the water noise, so I put it aside. And FORGOT to fill it.
Later in the evening, she was 'begging' toward the kitchen island (where her bowl was), she kept it up. I kept asking what she wanted and not 'seeing' her bowl. Finally, she started barking and I looked even harder...nope, nothing she'd want. I moved the milkbones from there a month ago.
She kept it up and said, "The last time you did this, you forgot until the next afternoon. You aren't getting away with it, this time." As she barked and barked.
I finally "Got It." My Little Dog, she reminds me when I forget to turn the water off in the garden or when I leave stuff "on" in the kitchen, too! Considering I acquired her when I was a bit better off, she has trained herself to be, what I need.
I just hope, I can be what MLD needs!
So, this is my dog story, what is yours?
