Fiona here -
Mom and dad got home from work late and the "new kennel" we've been promised still isn't here yet.. Mom and Dad have given us the guest bathroom to stay in when they are at work but we're getting pretty tired of the four walls - so tired in fact that we've decided to chew on one of them to make a little more room.. Dad got pretty mad. We don't understand why we have to stay in this room during the day - we have plenty of food and water, we have toys and a nice bed to lay down on in here and we even go pottie in the bath tub (remember that those of you who want to visit and stay in the main house!!).
We think we should be able to roam the whole house - Mom and Dad both said "Don't think so!" when we suggested it.
So ..... Bella came up with the idea that tonight we would play a game!! We would wait for mom and dad to get home and then see who could get them to say "No! No Bad Dog!" the most.
We knew they were coming 'cause we can hear the Subaru coming down the gravel road and driveway in front of the big house. Mom came into the house first and Dad stayed outside taking off his boots. We timed our run for the door so that when Mom let us out we both ran out the front door and Bella grabbed one of Dad's boots running off into 'Sarah Wood' with it. Dad yelled "No No Bad Dog" - Bella -1 ... Fiona - 0.
On my way out the door I stopped to squat ("No No Bad Dog") and picked up one point from Mom.. Bella - 1 ... Fiona - 1.
Me and Bella ran and ran and ran around the front garden. We messed up the flowers and grape vines real good!! We even got two "No No Bad Dog's" from Mom and Dad. Bella - 2 ... Fiona - 2.
<<-- Here is a picture of the front yard we got to mess up! It was so much fun watching Mom try to sweep up the bark. It's even more fun listening to Dad say "Drop it!" when we grabbed his second boot and headed up the driveway with it. Dad ran after us - he is hilarious when he runs.. the harder he tried to catch us, the faster we ran. We got one "No No Bad Dog" outa him for this - We shared the point. Bella - 2.5 ... Fiona - 2.5 .
Mom said "House" a few times - now we know what this means but we didn't want to go in - we got Mom to say it a few more times and then we ran inside. Bella's feet were muddy so she hooked a left coming in the entryway and ran across Mom's white wool Karastan dining room carpet.. "No No Bad Dog!!" - Bella - 3.5 ... Fiona 2.5 .
Mom headed off to the shower and grumpy Dad tossed a cassorole into the microwave for dinner - while he was doing that I managed a pee in the kitchen ("No No Bad Dog!!") and then walked in it to the dining room ("No No Bad Dog!!") - remember that white carpet..?
Bella - 3.5 ... Fiona 4.5
By the time Mom got outa the shower Bella and I had managed to rack up another four points each.. Dad said it was the 'ruffest' evening yet with us.
