Water World--09/23/06 Have any of you a retriever? You all know how much they simply loooooove the water. Well, let me tell you: Mia and Bella “out-waters” all of ‘em! I can’t even head toward the water spigot without the two of them hollering and prancing & dancing & having a fit! “WOO-HOOO! She’s turnin’ on the water—get in the pool—get in the pooool!!—Hurrrrrry, MaMa—turn on the watttter!!!!!!!!” Mia will charge at the spray from some 30 feet in distance—it’s a wonder she doesn’t drown herself! Lol A friend of ours once put out his oscillating sprinkler for them on a very warm day. Bella was still young and in order not to be trampled, stayed splashing at the large water bowl we’d put out for them while Mia jumped, leaped, danced & did a jig as she scolded & snapped at, and played in the water, eventually brazenly picking up the sprinkler while it continued to oscillate and place it in different localities of her discretion; who says a dog doesn’t have a mind of their own!
The two of them don’t do much traveling with me anymore; mostly because they have gotten too large to accommodate on one seat and the weather has been horrendous for them. But they do love it when I tell them we’re going for a ride in the truck. They lay all over each other as if they were still 5lbs, which is amusing to see in itself.Do I find shedding a problem? Well, I can make a PUPPY from all the hair on the kitchen floor, if that’s any indication. Who needs an Alpaca when we can frighten mothers-in-law from our very home! (I was just joking!) Being that I’m the biggest kid I know, she’d ‘spaz’ if she knew the dogs & I literally play Tag & Hide ‘n Seek around the kitchen table!—Joe thinks I’m rumbling in there or fighting off intruders with all the noise going on. There’s never a dull moment!
