You know it’s going to be a bad day when you can’t shake that gnawing feeling……

Well, it’s been a long time since I posted and I’m ashamed. Please forgive me. I do have that interview with Annie Mae Flower if you’re interested. Here goes:

This is my first take on Annie Mae and how she feels about being “A Dog in Charge”.

Audrey: Hello Annie. I’m happy to have you here this evening to discuss the in’s and out’s of being a dog in charge. For my first question, I’d like to know exactly what ‘a dog in charge’ means to you.

Annie: Thank you for having me, Audrey. Yes, well, a dog in charge for me may not be entirely what you’d expect. I don’t run around trying to tell everyone what to do or anything like that but what it really means for me is that being in heat all the time has it’s advantages.

Audrey: WHAT?

Annie: You heard me right. Being in heat. Do you have any idea what a dog in season can do to an otherwise strong and commanding male beast? You have no idea.

Audrey: I really think this interview has taken on meaning that I perfer not to post on this blog. I’m sorry. Do you have anything G-rated that I might be able to add to the story?

Annie: No, not at this time. I thought you understood where I was coming from. That’s a shame that you do not want to air this. I will just have to find another, more open-minded publisher for my stories. Good evening.

Folks… I am sorry about that. I try to keep it clean here and as you can see, that is not always possible. I look forward to our next interview.

This is a post that I had on a previous blog that I removed. I wanted to save some of the posts. I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve discovered that one of my Jack Russell’s has developed a knack for getting what he wants. I went for days thinking he had hurt his leg but then began to notice he only held it out when I was either eating or opening the refrigerator.

Finally, I asked….. does your leg hurt? He held out his back leg. I give him a bite of toast and he put the leg down. I went on eating, paying no attention to him only to look down and see his leg sticking out again. I told him to go on to bed. He retreated to his dog bed.

All through the morning I noticed everything thing appeared to be fine with him. That was until he was in the kitchen with me later on and I open the fridge. Suddenly, his back leg started sticking out again! I ignored it. I sat down at the table with a glass of milk and oatmeal cookie. I looked down and once again asked if his leg hurt. He lifted the same back leg and stuck it out. I give him a bite of cookie and the leg was all right. Have you ever?

That just goes to show you, even a dog can figure out the best means to a bite of cookie.

Here’s a photo of our newest pooch, Anna Odessa. She’s the first of a long line of Pom’s that I plan on breeding. She won’t be ready for that though for about 5 more months, at least. She is such a sweetie too!
