Today's Schedule

The Grandpuppy
Waiting for the thin layer of ice to melt from the pond



Given to me by my cousin, Bobby

I had no idea how true this would be. This dog loves to be outdoors. She lies at the edge of the deck, looking out over the field below the house, and she lies beside the garden pond. When she wants to come indoors, she knocks on the patio doors. I'm not kidding. She uses her paw to knock on the patio doors! So I let her in.  Of course. Then she lies on the window seat, waiting to bark at the UPS man or anyone who should venture up our driveway. She's a great watch dog!

I need to teach her to ring the strip of bells beside the back door, in order to notify me that she wants to go out, like Bridger used to do. Then again, this dog almost always wants to go out, so...

  2. What a beautiful grand dog ! I think dogs are so smart. Our old dog, Marshall, who now lives at our son's, used to do that too. In and out, In and out, all day long. When he wanted out he'd stand at the top of the stairs and wait til I got the hint. When he wanted back in he'd knock on the screen door. It is so damaged from his toenails scratching down the wood that there are deep grooves and no paint on the wood. We are replacing that door next spring needless to say. It looks bad! lol It's really mild here today in the upper 50's but dropping to freezing tonight! BRRR.

  4. LOL- She's a beautiful dog but it is like having a toddler in the house for potty training. In out-In out. At least you don't have to get her dressed every time. Have a good day, Judy. xo Diana

    ps. Your header looks just beautiful!!!!!

  5. What a gorgeous dog! Our Pyrenees, Shiloh, will come lay his chin on my arm if I'm at the computer when he needs out. If I don't respond immediately he increases the pressure. And then there are the pleading eyes.

  12. The sign made me laugh! I guess it is true while you have that beautiful grandpuppy there.

  13. My cat was the same way. She expects me to just let her out and in when her fancy strikes her.

  16. What a beautiful dog, and what fun! I miss having a dog, but can't fit one into our lifestyle right now. Maybe someday. Cats work for us right now. Looking forward to my soaps arriving this week!

  17. I have the same schedule - just add two cats to the mix. They are worth it though.

  18. Ice? Brrrr! Smart doggy to wait for it to melt, but I'll bet it was still cold!

  19. What a beautiful dog! Sounds like she has you wrapped around her little finger, er, paw.
    That's what dogs do...they leave pawprints on our hearts. :)

  22. Love the sign, what a riot. We are kitty people so I'm not too familiar with caring for dogs!
    Enjoy your guest!

  25. That little schedule made me laugh, because it's quite what my life is these days. It's rainy and chilly here, so the cats keep wanting to come in, only to forget one minute later that it's cold outside, so they ask to come out!!! Aaarggghh! Sometimes I wonder if I'll get anything else done in the day!!!

  26. I just love your dog. I have a BC, Waldo and he looks so much like your dog. So smart - he really protects me. I put a dog door in so they can go in and out. Much easier.
    Have a terrific weekend.
