Our sincerest apologies

What slackers we have been this week!

Actually, we have a really good excuse. We religiously make a post every Monday through Friday but this week has been an exception. We made no post yesterday and haven't been able to visit our friends blogs much this week either. Our reason: our Aunt Evie passed away. Our moms aunt was a very caring woman who always had a laugh and a smile to give and will be terribly missed by all who knew her.

We promise that we will be back to our regular scheduling of neurotic dog posts on Monday. Until then, have a great weekend everyone. Be safe and enjoy!

Great Big Dogs

My story begins like this...

Last night, our mom had a volleyball game and she didn't get home until 10:45pm. I was the only one awake to perform the "Hi! Welcome Home! Sniff, sniff, lick, lick!" ritual. The boys were sleeping soundly. Some watchdogs they are.

I met mom at the door, performed the ritual and followed her to the kitchen. After lots of head rubs from mom and tail wags from me, she grabbed the leash and headed toward the back door.

Alright! We're going for a walk.
She put the leash on me, opened the door and....

HOLY MOLY - THE BIGGEST DOGS I'VE EVER SEEN ARE IN MY BACK YARD!!!



I hit the brakes. I was stunned. My legs were frozen in place. I couldn't even bark. Our whole back yard was nothing but big dogs with shiny yellow eyes staring back at me. Twenty feet away were at least 6 sets of eyes glaring at me and my mom.

I quickly sized them up and backtracked into the house. I decided now was not the time for a little jaunt in the back yard.


Without passing go and collecting $200, I grumbled a few muffled barks, headed upstairs to my girls room and went straight to bed. The boys are never going to believe this! If rabbits scare them, I can only imagine what they would do if they ever ran into these guys!
