Listen to me

As I mentioned the other day, we have been going a LITTLE crazy with our barking at the bunnies.  OK.  I have been.

So when I started barking when my human was in the shower the other morning – and all of us joined in the chorus, my human was not overly surprised.  We especially like to bark when she is in the shower.  When it happens, she’s not sure if it’s a bunny alert – or if someone has actually arrived at our door.  But the other day it wasn’t a bunny alert.  It was a delivery.  A propane delivery.

By the time my human got out of the shower, and got dressed, the intruder was gone.  She found the propane bill on the door and continued to get ready for work.  She bid us her good-byes while we gave her the daily “we are so sad look” and she got in the car to drive off.  It was then that she saw WHY we were barking.  We were telling her what the delivery guy had done.  He had destroyed our driveway.  Seriously.

Remember the luge run we had this winter – when our driveway was full of ice.  Well of course it has FINALLY melted.  BUT the ground under the pavement is still soft.  Enter one very heavy propane truck and well, it looks like someone took a wrecking ball and dropped it all along the driveway.  MANY times.  For more than 150 feet of the driveway.  It is a disaster. 

So. We have a big project ahead.  I think Frodo should go out and dig all the pavement up.  He’s the digger in the bunch.  And Paxton can haul it all away.  I’ll supervise.  Alternatively, our human can hire a company to do the work – and I’ll still supervise.  And I will be sure to alert her if they are not doing a good job.  And this time, maybe she’ll listen to me!
