CLEAN up

May 10 and it's National Clean Up Your Room Day.  We're not big into clean up. Unless it is cleaning up something edible that hits the floor.  Then we are vacuum cleaners.  But as for cleaning up our toys or antlers- as soon as my human puts them in the big bin when she is vacuuming, we promptly pull them out.  They are spread out all over the kitchen and dining room. We like the look.

Well the rug in the hallway is still intact.  So far.  But don't kid yourself, if left to his own devices, it would be shredded quickly.  We'll see who wins the bet...

My human has noticed another interesting FG trait.   Besides rug shredding.   As we know, she takes him for a walk every morning around 5 AM, wearing her trusty headlamp, which remains less-than-trusty right now because she STILL needs batteries.  Anyway, she has noticed that on some mornings, the FG bounds ahead of her on the leash, with little care.   He walks along sniffing and snarking - and she has to watch him closely because,  speaking of cleaning skills, he CAN be a vacuum cleaner who picks up garbage along the road.   He is STARTING to learn the command "drop it."  So that's a typical morning.  But every now and then, and it appears to be on particularly foggy and dark mornings, he will NOT leave my human's side. He is like GLUE attached to her.  And every couple of minutes, he'll stop and stare off behind them on the dark road.  Or off into the bushes.  It's kind of spooky - and my human wonders if he picks up the scent of something.  She would like to THINK he is protecting her - but I actually think he is looking for her to protect HIM.  He's a not a huge guard dog - I mean he doesn't bark if someone comes to the door - and he does not practice rabbilert.   But that being said, the other day he was on the deck with me and Einstein and my human was in the house.  And he let out such a BIG dog bark that my human had to come and see if another dog had joined the party!  We have NEVER heard that bark before.  It was a first.  So maybe he is starting to mature - and his close walking IS a protective stance.   That or he has figured out yet another way to drive my human crazy....

It's Wednesday - and only TWO more work days after today.  We are counting down the minutes!

Have a good one - and don't forget to clean up!
