Artimus and Gollum have pondered this question ever since the big move. It has rained nearly every day; besides the rain, the temperatures have not impressed them much.
Finally we get a break one afternoon/evening and they appreciated a little time outdoors. They had their own yard...oh yeah, except for that pesky beast over to there. What IS THAT THING? Get it out of here, NOW! Tom and I had to sit them down for another little chat and explain that this was not a temporary situation. We were not babysitting, we were not fostering this child. She is here to stay. Gollum pretended to die....
He flattened out like a pancake. We were like "Nope, Gollum, it's not gonna work; you can ignore her, but she isn't going away. You can even be mean to a certain extent. But you have a pretty decent life; don't be so spoiled."
If you look very closely, you can see he actually has his hand over his eyes. Artimus, thanks for being such and unselfish good sport about all of this. Mallory adores you and your amazing consumption skills in the rawhide department.
Artimus is my angel face.

isn't it funny to think that even in the dog world introducing a new sibling is just as tramatic as it is in the human world?
ReplyDeletehappy wednesday,

Your yard is looking very nice.
ReplyDeleteMom, you will have to be patient. Sibling rivalry will have to take it's time. "Yea" Artimus for being the good patient "big" brother in this situation. I bet that Gollum will follow suit. Patience, will win out, I am sure.
Love the "Pampered Pouty Pups", and you all too, Mom
I see Gollum's paw over his eyes, thanks for pointing it out! That picture just tells the whole story, doesn't it?! Glad the boys and girl are getting to enjoy the yard :)
ReplyDelete:) They are the silliest dogs I have ever seen!
