Tonight I came in my room and picked up my laptop to check my favorite sites and blogs. As I laid back on the bed, I was joined soon by the dogs, Blue and Hannah.
The soft, cool night breeze gently flowed into the room, and I noticed Blue lift his head and drink in the smells of the night. All of a sudden, he LEAPED onto the bay window in the room and I thought he was about to charge through the stained glass window to get outside! Now this would not be quite so worrisome if we were on the ground floor, but we were in my 2nd story bedroom!
I could, by now, hear something creeping about on the fence below the window, rustling through the plants and vines that grow along the fence between our house and the neighbors. About this time, Blue had exited the bedroom and timed it so that he was planted by the front door when our son walked by and, thinking he simply needed to out to potty, opened it up, letting Blue charge out like a bullet!
"Oh No," I thought, as I heard it all unfold....."he is going to catch whatever is out there, poor unsuspecting critter!" Well, I heard Blue take a flying leap and hit the fence, but whatever it was must have heard him charging and slipped down the other side, just in time! Whew!
I scolded out the window, "Blue, you leave it! You give kisses, be a good boy!" (Yeah right, I'm SURE he really listened to me!! Hmm, what would Cesar do?) Although soon enough, I heard Blue out by the front door, so in he came and reclaimed his space next to me. But that nose is still twitching, searching for those sweet smells, as he lifts his head and turns toward the window.
And our shepherd Hannah? She has no part in critter chasing. She is truly a regal lady! For her, it's much easier to glare at me until I get the hint that she's ready for her evening treat! Ah the sweet life of dogs. Gotta love 'em, and yes, we truly do.
