Cheater!

Posted on May 2, 2013 by Marquie

Hey everyone, Petal here.

I’ve taken over the keyboard to warn all you doggies that my cousin, Penny, is a dirty, lousy, ankle biting, tail snatching cheater.

Don’t think this sweet little face is capable of cheating?

Well, you’re wrong. So wrong, friends.

Just look at the photographic proof!

Example number 1:

Here I am, minding my own business,

Then all of the sudden,

she came running out of no where and body slammed me!
Thud, right against my ribs.
Good thing I’m a super strong super hero and just laughed it off, like super strong pups do.

Example number 2:

Here we are, enjoying a lovely game of chase, but why is Penny running with her mouth wide open like that?

Looks like she’s getting ready to take a bite out of something, doesn’t she?
That’s because she is.

Yes, that IS my tail in her mouth! The little piranha!

You see, Penny is jealous of my spectacular speed, but instead of simply being faster, she grabs hold of my tail to keep up.
Cheater.

Case closed.
Penny is a cheater cheater, ~~poopoo~~ pumpkin eater.
But we still have fun.

Chasin’ Critters

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Marquie

While we were out in the yard the other day Petal found a mystery critter (I never saw it, but I suspect it was a mouse) crawling beneath the leaves and twigs along the fence. She was being far too noisy and crazy to actually catch whatever it was. Petal is not stealthy or quiet when it comes to chasing down little friends. She is, however, very entertaining to watch. I snapped a dozen pictures (literally, so have fun scrolling ;)) before the camera battery died (lucky for you!).

Photobucket

She went at it for another minute or two (I think he, whatever he was, was having a good time teasing the obnoxious dog that didn’t stand a chance catching him) before we went back inside and she still looks for him when we go outside, but she hasn’t seen him since.

As for what Lassie was doing as Petal stomped through leaves, snow, and twigs, thinking she was oh so sneaky— he was watching Petal with a look that said, “This is why Collies don’t hunt.”
Unless you count hunting down an abandoned cheeseburger. My Collies can do that no problem. 😉
