Respite

Ahhh.....everyone needs a little break. Snowflake is in for her spay procedure today. Boy oh boy is it quiet without her.

Several names have been suggested instead of Snowflake, or Sierra as we call her. Wild Child is used frequently. Vortex has been mentioned. Motion and Commotion hits the nail on the head too.

I must have had a temporary lapse in judgement when I suggested fostering a puppy. Truthfully, one look at her face makes it worth every moment of chaos. When she slows down, after approx 4 hours of non-stop activity, and snuggles up to you to sleep she is pure angel.

Youth is like that. Mick and Hank are not. I feel bad that Snowflake has a couple old fuddy duddies as her housemates. She drew the short end of the stick as far as playmates go. Sure they can teach her alot, but they don't help her burn that puppy energy off. She hoped for the Tasmanian Devil as a playmate and got The Odd Couple.

So it's on my to-do list to find her a young at heart pup to play with. A tired dog is a good dog. Around here, four of us are exhausted and one is raring to go!
