Doggies

Sometimes dogs can really cheer you up.

I was sitting at Chris’s computer, noodling around on the Internet, when I noticed Mina had brought the little grey bear toy near me. She pranced around, flung her head at the toy and suggested in all possible ways that perhaps I should leave the computer and throw the bear for her.

Well, I was in the middle of typing something, so I said, “In a minute, Bean!” and went on with what I was doing.

Apparently a minute was too long for her, and she immediately ran away and came back with the chickie. She tossed it to the ground, play-bowed, and waggled her rear at me.

Now I couldn’t resist, so I picked up the chickie and waved it around for her. While she was growling and doing her best to kill it, Flacko noticed something was happening and tried to join in on playtime.

Mina doesn’t like to share toys, and will just stop playing and stand completely still if another dog tries to play, so I kept waving the chickie around for Mina with one hand while I grabbed the bear with my other hand.

I wiggled the bear at Flacko, who tried to bite it and play with it. All normal behavior, except that Flacko was still completely wrapped up in his blanket and lying on his dog bed at the time.

So there I was, squatting on my floor, flinging a yellow chick for one dog while simultaneously shoving a tiny bear at a moving, growling blanket, and you know, life could be worse.
