Bloopers

Howdy blogaroos! Squirmy here on what is forecast to be a sunny Sunday. It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood (remember that song?!) and thankfully we have super duper neighbors all along our road. In fact – according to the crazy calendar, today is Neighbor Day. A day to appreciate your neighbors. We particularly like the neighbors with the cats…so you know what that means…

Yup. We had another round of catch the escapees. But I wasn’t involved. It was a repeat of previous escape attempts…the Boss was out having a pee, I was in the garage getting ready to go to training – and well…the Coyote took advantage of an unattended open door and went for cat visit. He bolted. The Boss followed.

The Warden knew where they were headed. Jumped in the car, and drove to the neighbors’ house and slowly drove down their long driveway. Sure enough. Both inmates were circling the house. The Coyote saw the Warden and bounced over to her with a big smile on his face. He was escorted to the vehicle and put in a crate. The Boss slowly walked over- knowing his fate. He was tossed into the vehicle and all returned home. The entire episode lasted about 5 minutes. Really. The Warden has become an expert wrangler.

The Coyote got to go for a long walk with our girlfriend Gena, the German Shepherd the other day. We’re lucky that she still wants to associate with us ragamuffins because she has entered a whole new social class – she won a Best in Show last weekend! How cool is that?! They didn’t get a picture together- they’ll have to next time. We always knew she was pretty- and we’re glad she is doing so well in the show ring! We need to get her pawtograph.

What else….oh! We have some blooper shots from our idyllic photo shoot the other night. As you may recall, this was the final photo…

The Warden was hoping we would all look at the sunset – AND we would feature “the tree.” First she tried to get us all sitting and facing the water. Except the Boss didn’t want to sit…

He finally sat – but kept looking at the Warden…

Even when we repositioned ourselves, he kept looking back….

Then – in an effort to get him to look out- she tossed a rock in the water. The Coyote jumped in to get it…

The Warden pulled him out. He was only wet up to his chest – you can see his wet legs in this photo…and me trying to figure out where to look…

Meanwhile, the Warden throws another rock. The Coyote and I look – but guess who is still posing for the camera…

Now the Coyote is looking back waiting for another rock to be tossed…note the Boss…

Finally after multiple attempts, the Warden gave up on the idea of all of us staring at the sunset and she regrouped us. This one is pretty good…

So much for a peaceful evening.

Time to get the Warden moving. The forecast is calling for another beautiful day. Plus we get to see who wins the contest for First One to Pee on the New Planters the Warden bought. My money is on the Coyote.

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