Well, it was an uneventful night, no puking to be had. Kelly seemed a bit lazy this morning, but she perked right up when she realized we were taking her and Katie for a walk. Dopey dogs, it takes a good 5 minutes to just get the darn collars on them. Kelly wears a harness, she's a dumb ass and will choke herself with a regular collar. Dogs- ours in particular- are so cute. I say they're just big hairy bags of love, who else would be so happy to see you even if you go in the garage for a few minutes? There's something to be said for a hairy nutcase jumping and barking the second you walk in the door. The walk thing never gets old with them, we started spelling it just so they won't tear the house apart in excitement before we go. Usually it just takes one of them to see me putting on my sneakers, usually Katie, and she does her combination bark/whine that sounds like Chewbacca and Scooby Doo. Next thing you know Kelly is barking, a sound that makes my ears ring and my temples throb. Katie is a smart dog, I usually get Kelly ready and Katie tries to get her own leash off the hook. She beats the crap out of it before we can get it on her. I don't even know how we learned she could do it, but B hands her the leash on the way home- she puts it in her mouth and trots home. If you say, "pick it up", she does and then keeps on going. She won't run home unless it's in her mouth, I gave her Kelly's leash one day and she dragged her across the neighbors yard to ours- pretty cute. Katie LOVES tennis balls, she's a great catcher and rarely misses. B used to show her off at the dog park, she would run and leap and twist in the air. She was attacked by another dog there a few months ago, it was a Lab, it punctured her ear twice and got her in the neck too. I'm not sure who was more traumatized- Katie, Kelly or me. We will NEVER go there again. Kelly is happy to play tug of war with pretty much anything, especially the thing we call her "blankie". When Katie was little and I was a real dork I bought her a coat from the Disney store. It's more of a cape, it has red plush on one side and a Dalmation print on the other. It was too big for her, and it even came with an extra section for the belly if you had a larger dog. Well, the belly section is the blankie, and that thing is tough. Considering the rough treatment it gets, it just started to come unsewn. I throw it in the wash now and then, doggie breath smell can be rather gross.
