BarkingProse

Tess is mad because I haven’t barked about her. I really like her a lot and we play together all the time. Our people call us the evil twins. You can guess why. Here are some pictures of her. She’s sleeping right now. She spent all day chasing goats and playing bump and run with me.

Silly Tess

Tess

I think she’s a swell girlfriend. She’s nice to everybody, most of the time. Only thing is she buries her treats and then gets all weird if Jack or I dig them up. She’s a real lady until it comes to her food. Then she’s crazy. I don’t mind. I’ve learned to stay away from her when she’s eating. Now that I’ve barked about her, maybe she’ll get over being mad at me. See ya.

Yesterday our new friend came for dinner. We met her through Old Dog Haven. She has eight rescue dogs right now. She brought a silly little Beagle girl on a blind date for Jack. It didn’t work out. Jack didn’t even sniff her and the little Beagle just ran around in circles until she got tired.

Next the lady brought in a pile of orange fur named Eddie. He strutted around and acted like a big shot. I tried to herd him, but of course, the packleaders put a stop to that. Back he went to the car with the Beagle.

Finally the lady brought in a herding dog. Jack didn’t pay any attention to her, but Tess and I knew she was one of us. We had all kinds of fun. Poor Jack never did get a date. It’s tough to find a girlfriend when you won’t even sniff your date. We’re going to send Jack to charm school this summer.

Yesterday Tess and I played with the goats. OK, maybe we dogs had more fun than the goats, but everybody got to run around and enjoy the sunshine. Tess has a real strong herding instinct. Me, I just like to mix it up with the goats. When they get out I chase ’em back where they belong. Sometimes the goats head butt me. That makes it more fun. The goats belong to our neighbors, but they’ve lived with us for two years. They came with names already – Cartman and Leroy Brown. Here, you can see them for yourself.
