Another crazy dog post...

Okay so it's been a while since I posted about my dogs. They are nuts; end of story.  So my husband and I ran the TC10K which is a huge race where we live.  It's actually the second biggest 10k race in Canada which is pretty cool.  So after running our little (okay maybe not so little) butts off we just wanted to go home, shower, and relax.  As we are pulling up to our house I see that my wonderful and amazing girl, Midnight, decided to puncture my beautiful faux wood (the fact that I just wrote "woof" instead of "wood" means I must have dog on the brain) blinds.  So okay, not the first time and here we are thinking we can repair them, no big deal. Ya, well it is a big deal. Thats because she has now done it one too many times and I am out of spare slats for the blinds. And since I have these same size blinds on three other windows in my house means that she has done it a lot for me to run out. And as angry as we might have been coming home and seeing this, there is absolutely nothing you can do. You can't get mad; it's too late. And in slinks my other pup Ryder, who just knows that something wrong has gone on and here he is slinking around feeling terrible for something he didn't even do! And Midnight is happily dancing around at our feet so excited that we're home.  I can just about see what they might be thinking as this incident is happening. Ryder: OMG Midnight, you should NOT be doing that!! What are you thinking! We're going to get in huge trouble....Midnight: ahhhhhh, where did they go? I'm going to tapdance on the table. Now I'm going to steal butter off the counter. Now I'm going to eat the blinds. Uh oh, what did I do? Oh well...where did they go? Where did they go? Now I'm going to sniff my bum....Okay so maybe not an exact replica of the doggy conversation that went on but thats the gist of it I can assure you. Which brings me to the funny part of our little doggy family. Everytime we go out I ask my husband what he thinks the dogs are doing and we make up funny little anecdotes that perfectly describe their personalities. Sometimes we say that Midnight is sitting on our furniture bossing Ryder around, asking him to get her bones, water, and scratching behind her ears for her...and if you knew them, this would seem like a perfectly reasonable dog-day afternoon in our household. So are we all nuts? Oh probably, but I love my dogs so much and the fact that I have two of them constitutes a little craziness regardless. They make us laugh, cry, and get angry but at the end of the day there is nothing they could do to make me love them any less. They are amazing creatures that love us regardless of anything. Oh and if you too are a dog lover you HAVE to check out this website. It's hilarious!
