Instead of lions and tigers and bears, oh my. I've got: mosquitoes, possums and snakes, oh my. Yuck! Mosquitoes love me. I've been lucky so far this summer, they've stayed away from me (without having to use some sort of spray.) Well that has ended this week. Last night I somehow managed to get the spray in my mouth. Not good and now I know why my dogs sneeze when I use it. Yuck! Last night while walking Scooby, he went tearing after something... low and behold it was a baby possum and guess what, they really do play dead. When I saw what it was, it was laying with its eyes open on its side. I thought: it's dead. Well, this morning it was gone so I'm guessing it was just playing dead. Yuck! While walking Scooby through the garden this morning, I saw a snake. My initial reaction was to scream (but I didn't.) Then I thought... that looks fake but I'm too chicken to get close to it to find out. Seriously... YUCK!!!! Scooby had no interest in it so I'm thinking probably fake. Am hoping fake. :) Scooby - well.... I'm having some adventures with him that I'd probably prefer not to have but he's doing just fine! He's eating well and loving his walks.
Jackson - I took him for a walk this morning and he was pretty happy about it. He was running all around and huffing and puffing when we got back. Last night was pretty neat to be in your backyard. Several owls up in the trees around your house and they were all talking to each other. That kind of wildlife interaction I can handle!
Eli, Peyton and Chaos - they're all doing fine too. Eli has started escorting me to the front door when I leave and then I get a couple of barks when I'm locking the door. I think she is telling me goodbye. Peyton wanted to play this morning. She was funny, jumping around, getting all excited. Not much of a vertical leap though. :)
Sunny, Louis and Lola - what is it about the playing really gets going when I put them all on the bed? They all played with each other last night and were pretty funny. I thought Lola wanted to get up during the night so I got up with her but she didn't do anything and then slept through the rest of the night.
