Valentines Day

Howdy blogaroos! Happy Valentines Day! How did the day come so quickly? Wasn’t it New Years last week?

The Warden was going to attempt a cute Valentine photo with us- but it was chaos. Complete chaos. Of course she left it until yesterday. She had no great props (thank goodness) except a backdrop with hearts. She attempted to drape it over the railing on the deck. BUT – it was snowing. And windy. First the Coyote tried to pee on it. Then it blew off and I grabbed a corner and ripped it. That plan was canceled. So she took us in the yard. Remember- it’s snowing. And frankly, she had crappy treats. She also had one measly garland with hearts which was used in previous Valentine photo shoots. She didn’t think we’d remember- but we did. It also wasn’t long enough to drape over all three of us- and I decided I should just attempt to pull on it.

Then the Boss got annoyed and started shouting;

The photo at the top was the best we could do – and she added the hearts afterwards because even if she had hearts to hang around our necks, we would have pulled them off. It was snowing!

We used her credit card to order some Valentine flowers on-line and some dog treats too. Might as well treat ourselves too, since we had the card.

Not much else is new. I went to two practice matches on the weekend- and I was above mediocre. That’s my goal. The Warden was pleasantly surprised. I told her not to get too crazy excited – don’t sign up for any real trials just yet. I’m still a wildcard.

We’re feeling kinda lazy – so we’ll resurrect Viktor’s Valentine poem. It’s worth repeating….

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

You take us on walks,

You pick up our poo.

We steal your mittens, 

We jump on your bed,

We bark incessantly

While waiting to be fed.

You brush us and groom us 

While we squeak and complain, 

You have great patience 

While we drive you insane. 

We make you laugh

We make you cry

You teach us about manners

And SOMETIMES we try.

We snuggle and cuddle

And love belly rubs from you,

We give you big licks 

And giant wags too.

We’re happy you picked us

And we’ll protect you till the end

We love you – our human –

From you very best friend.

Sending licks and love to the Warden – and to each and every one of you!

Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe.
