Lazy Bones

Today marks the first day of our vacation, though we haven't actually left the house yet. The first leg of our journey only requires a two hour drive which has me wholly unmotivated. I still need to sweep, vacuum, do the dishes and because our dogs have flea and tick oil down their backs, I'll be giving them a pre-vacation scrub. As much fun as it is to pet a greasy dog, I think I will spare my fellow vacationers. And, yes! We are taking the mongrels with us. In fact, there will be four dogs in one house at our first stop, one of the dogs being a Lab puppy! It should be extremely fun!

Last year there was a moment when I thought I would split a side from laughing so hard. We had our two big dogs visiting my Mother -in-law's two small dogs. But Sidd (our German shorthair mix) doesn't like little yippy dogs that are too full of energy. He finds them highly suspect. However, Prot(our coon-hound mix) will play with anything that farts in his general direction, and he is completely tolerant of energy surpluses. So, his big floppy ears and clumsy dumb paws moved ever so slightly and lazily to fight back this little Schnoodle(schnauzer-poodle mix), who was working furiously to take our gentle giant DOWN! It was liking watching time-lapse and slow motion at the same time.

Well, my coffee is kicking in. Tune in next time while I blab on about our snail collection and successfully cure insomnia.

WAKE UP!
