Today is Ash Wednesday. And the beginning of Lent. 40 days of behaving. It will never happen in this house.
We had a blizzard on Monday. A real, honest to goodness blizzard. High winds and LOTS of snow. Of course before it started, my human had to take us out for a good run to exhaust us – she knew we would be stormed stayed for a bit. The photos you see are pre-storm. The winds were stronger than our jet engine hair dryer. It was crazy. We loved it. Well – I did. Frodo was annoyed that it messed up his hair.
My human’s mother was talking yesterday about “the losing battle.” You know what she’s referring to – she puts my toys away in the toy bin and no sooner does she finish, than I pull them all out. Just like when my human is vacuuming. I actually think she thought she could get away with it this time. Nope. I never forget my job.
So far we have been behaving. Although, Paxton was a bit naughty. When my human took Frodo and I out for our run, her mother was in the other room – and she glanced up from reading – and saw Paxton DASH across the room from the kitchen. She went to see what was going on. He had stolen a whole roll of paper towel from the counter, and was about to make confetti. Busted. She took it away from him – get this – in exchange for a treat! We have her pretty well trained.
I like how she slices up our banana for us. My human just tears off pieces – which I think, sometimes results in us getting varied sizes. Her mother is much more fair.
Well time to go and stare at her. Maybe I can convince her to slice up another banana…
