Naughty Dog

This was the day where Mu was an ill-behaved pup.

Aside from her being gloriously happy to run around in the field we visited in Ipswich, she obviously left her listening ears in the car. As soon as she saw some ducks down on the river she was running through the mud flats towards the water. All the hollering and whistling didn't recall her. I watched as she joyously flushed the birds, sending them flapping over the river, Mu still running behind, first through the mud, then through the shallows of the waters edge... And then PLOP! Even from as far away as we were up on the bank we could see the shock as the edge must have dropped off and Mu was fully swimming in the frigid water! She sure turned and hopped out as fast as she could!!!

We finished the walk with a rather wet and soggy Mu, but her bad behavior continued. After barking at a woman walking on the road as we circled back to the car (the woman had no idea) we hopped in the car and continued with our errands which included getting dog food, meat for dinner and a sandwich for lunch. On route home, we stopped to fill the water jugs and when I went to get back in the car I realized Bessie Mu had helped herself to the other half of my sandwich, which I had wrapped up and was saving for lunch the next day.

BAD DOG!!!

She got quite the scolding and true to form express ZERO guilt!

It is a darn good thing she is cute, but we weren't really speaking the rest of the day.

Oh dogs.

Do your dogs ever do such naughty things?

Anyway, I write this as Mu lays sleeping, snoring with her head in my lap.

I'm a sucker.

Today was 50 degrees and I didn't go to the craft fair.

It has been raining here all day today and I don't think it is about to stop.

The weird thing is that it was almost 50 degrees today...

IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER!?!

Actually, I am not really that suprised, it was 60 degrees around this time 2 years ago when Poesy came home to us...

But I think the temp is going to drop.

Maybe that means snow!!! (the thought makes my heart smile!)

I love rain, actually, but I have been needing the still and quiet of a good snow.

I was hoping to go to this holiday craft fair today, but my plans were blundered :(

Have any of you heard about it, or been to it?

How cute is this poster?...

They had another cute one with a parrot hanging up-side-down, but I couldn't find it to post here.

Anyway, I couldn't find anyone to go with me and I really didn't want to go alone.

Then Andy said he would go with me when he got home from work...

I should have known better because he worked at 5:30 this morning and got up at 4.

So when he got home he fell asleep for a while, then woke up and said he would go,

but there just wasn't enough time and I didn't want to waste the gas and get there only to have to rush to see everything before it was over!

Oh, well, I wanted to check it out for a vending possibility for next year.

Maybe I will just have to blindly apply and hope that it is as fun and as good as it looks!

So I spent the rest of the afternoon playing around with a watercolor painting that I have been working on.

This little puppy dog has been bugging me (because at this point it is almost supper time)!

See this second photo, she was grumbling in protest to it not being 5 o'clock and me not feeding her whenever she wants... I think someone is a little spoiled!

She is on my naughty list because she ate a bag of pastries that I was bringing home when she was in the car the other day...

Naughty, Naughty Dog!!!

I probably should have hidden them a little better, but she should know better by 9 years old!

It was sad. For me.

Not for her, she was happy!
