Jessica’s Christmas present, a little Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Havoc, is sitting at my feet chewing on a dog bone. All of the dogs have been outside to go to the bathroom and the little one has been outside and gone twice (luckily I was watching her like a hawk and caught her before we had another accident). The morning meal went without incident when I learned that feeding the little one first was the easiest way to keep her out of my hair. The other dogs know that eating before they are released is a bad idea. They decided to sit and wait regardless of what was happening. The other two were shuffled off to the kennel with the little one in tow there simply to watch the proceedings. He was mostly there so I could keep an eye on her.
I’ve got to keep the little guy quiet and busy until I leave. I know that if I put her in his kennel our morning of silence will be over. Did I mention that Jessica is still asleep? It also happens to be a Monday. Keeping her quiet lies within my best interests. Lets just hope that I can do it…. if I don’t my life expectancy will be drastically shortened.
Chessie? Oooooh boy, you may be in for an adventure!
