A while back I posted a video of what happened one rainy day when I decided to take a shower alone (without a border collie shoving their nose into the shower).
In the days & weeks following the carnage - we were unable to ascertain who the led the assault on the pantry. However we have since learned that Ranger has a strange obsession with all things Swiffer. Swiffer Dusters, Swiffer Sweepers...you name it.
I may have learned a lesson about leaving them downstairs alone.
Obviously I did not learn a lesson about leaving the pantry door open.
Today I was working from home. The dogs left my office when I was on the phone. I hung up the phone and heard a racket in the kitchen. Grabbing the camera I tip-toe'd out the door and poked the camera around the corner.
Yesterday we journeyed to 378 miles round trip to George, WA. We stopped to see the Wild Horse Monument near the Columbia. Very cool spot looking down on the Columbia. I think this may be the goofiest picture of John ever.
John and I met Nikki, an amazing woman who has been doing border collie & aussie rescue for over 10 years. Tre was cute as a button. Ranger, Beth and Bonnie really seemed to like him. He got along with them quite well (in the limited amount of time we spent with him). He really is a lovely little dog. If I had my way, I would have brought him (and Donald) home with me, but sanity prevailed (much to my husband's relief).
This is Donald. In the few minutes I spent with him and the chaos of all the dogs swarming Donald was able to focus on me, treats and clicker in hand. He is one sharp cookie! He would make a lovely agility partner. He was just a little to wild and wooley for our pack.
I dont want to adopt another dog just because I lost Katie. Adopting another dog on impulse it the worst think anyone can do. As much as I loved Tre... and as much as I wanted to bring him home - I didn't. We are going to think about it until after we get back from Texas next week. If I feel I cannot live without him, and I am positive that his addition to our family is the best thing for everyone then I will adopt him. If I have any second thoughts - then Tre will make someone else a wonderful loving companion. He really is a lovely dog.
Being cooped up in the car yesterday seems to have taken its toll on the pups. This morning I made the grave mistake of leaving them in the house while I took a shower. I really should have know better...
I came down stairs to this...,"Uh...Ma, you dont look like you are happy to see me..."
The debris surrounding him happens to be what remains of the super jumbo size box of Swiffer Dusters.
