Blooper time

Well we had quite the snowfall on Friday night - and last night as well.  You know it's going to be a stormy evening when my human comes home and changes from her "work clothes" right into her pajamas.  The other night she even put on this big fuzzy robe-like thing that she got from Santa.  One look - and the FG and I immediately had to try and attack her.  She looked like a big polar bear and the fabric was so nice and fuzzy - she ended up taking it off - we were so obsessed with pulling off pieces of fluff.

On Saturday, in between storms, my human decided to get some photos of us.  Of course she did.  So what ELSE is new.  During which I learned that the FG is even SMARTER than I thought...

So before my human takes us out, she shows us that she has these REALLY tasty liver snacks.  I mean REALLY tasty.  All of us sat in the hallway before we went out, and patiently waited for our treat.  We were SO well behaved.  Until the front door was opened. That's when the FG's brain exploded.  We're now used to his racing through the woods.  And leaping over logs and branches.  And us. But the remarkable thing that I noticed yesterday is his ability to calculate distance.

My human would attempt to get the three of us to sit together for a photo.  And of course, Frodo and I KNEW she had her pockets full of those liver treats.  So we essentially sat and stayed wherever she instructed.  Like stuffed dogs.  And then she had to corral the FG.  IF she manged to grab his collar as he raced by, she COULD get him to sit.  And that's when I realized he understands distance.  He would sit with us and look at my human with his sweet expression.  And she would step back to take the photo.  And he would sit.  And she would step back - and juuuuuuuuuust as soon as he knew she was out of grabbing range, he was off.  This happened repeatedly.  And it's not like he didn't know about the treats.  She would give us one when we sat, and tell us how brilliant were were, and she would wave a treat in front of us as she stepped back.  But he didn't care.  The Call of the Wild was too great for him.   My human decided a trio portrait was just out of the question - she finally gave up.  BUT - she did manage to capture a few shots that you may still enjoy.  Check out these bloopers...

We also discovered (or should I say the FG discovered) that underneath that snow, there is still earth.  AND if you dig deep enough, you can still dig a hole in the mud!!!  He was the only one who came in the house with brown feet.

Never a dull moment.  NEVER a dull moment....
