Dear pals,
One of the things I have been doing since becoming an only dog, is needing to go outside in the night more often. My people aren't sure why this is, they wonder if it is I think that Lee isn't here so someone should do it. At any rate, my people hope this phase passes.
As I mentioned yesterday, last week the snow was still pretty deep in our yard. Wednesday morning around 1:30 am, I needed to go out, so Lady took me. I discovered I could walk across the yard and explore places I haven't been able to go for months.
I was out wandering on the lawn, having a great time, and Lady was getting a little impatient. Something about having to get up at 5 am, and this was a business trip and not a play trip. I wasn't really listening because I was too busy sniffing. Lady finally, after about 15 minutes, decided to come and get me.
Well Lady weights more than 77 lbs, so when she started to walk to get me, she sunk up to her knees (and may have twisted her knee a little). She realized this wasn't going to work.
She tried calling again, but I wasn't listening. So she decided, the only thing she could do, was to crawl out to get me. So she crawled across the lawn, put me on leash, and crawled back with me reluctantly following.
We got back inside around 1:50 am, Lady was soaked and a combination of frustrated and amused.
I lost my off leash privileges in the night until the snow is almost gone. No regrets!
your pal, I got a lot of sniffs to catch up with Phod
wow we bow our head... you know how it works best.... we hope that phase is not the new routine and you all can have more sleep at night...
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky, Phod. Lady is sure a lot more lenient than my mom is. I go outside somewhere between 1-2am and I"m leashed and she tells me "do peepee's" and I only get 5 minutes!
ReplyDeleteBOL BOL PHOD I am certain Lee is smiling down at your excellent efforts to keep Lady on her toes///well maybe on her knees...I hope her knee isn't too sore they take a while to heal.

ReplyDeletePhod, glad you had a good late night adventure, but maybe once is enough:)

Whata frascal yopu were, Phod!! BOL! Since we have a doggy door, and a totally securely fenced yard, we get to 'go' whenever we feel the urge, and sometimes we have a grand time with the many distractions out there, esp in the wee hours, BOL! All our snow is gone, but the danger now is an all the mole runways and breathing holes. Sigh...
