We have new neighbors here at the hotel. Two Italian Greyhounds from California are living in the room across from us. I guess they don't realize that they are on "our property". We met their Dad and he seems really nice. He told us to enjoy our retirement and that we are lucky to be done working. It drives us crazy when we see the Italian Greyhounds trying to claim our property as their own, so we have to immediately go out and trump them. Yep, that's what we did yesterday and this morning. We don't know how long they are staying, but they won't win.
In other news, we met another one of those special dogs. You know, a dog that doesn't have to wear a leash and doesn't have to have his poop picked up. He tried to get at us and Mama reached for her mace only to discover that it wasn't in her coat pocket. She only had a roll of poop bags. She didn't think that would do much good unless the dog would be startled by it since he's probably never seen a roll of poop bags before. The owner called him back and he started to go, but then he started coming at us again and Mama screamed "GET BACK!". The owner called him again and he got in his truck. The owner said "I apologize." We just gave him stink eyes and walked away. It was scary. Mama makes sure she has her mace with her now, just in case we have to defend ourselves. We hope Mama has good aim.
The electric company has been here trimming trees out of the electric lines. Mama pointed them out to Scout and Scout didn't care. However, as Mama was throwing a poop bag in the dumpster, one of the guys in the basket crane flew right over our heads. Scout flipped out. I mean, she totally flipped. She was trying to get away and Mama was holding her leash. She caused me to flip out and it was just a mess. Mama said "STOP", well that caused all the workers to stop and look at us. It was embarrassing. We made it back to our room unharmed, but we were still scared. Scout says that men shouldn't fly in a basket. It's just not normal. They were here yesterday, too, but we avoided them.

The Greyhound Who Has To Stay Alert Living In The City
Dear Jack, I've been following your adventures for some time and I have to say that reading about you is one of the highlights of my day. I hope you guys and your humans find your new home and get moved in soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Muchadoaboutnothing! It's nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteWe have an offer in on a house and hope to make an announcement soon. Negotiations are going well, but we are getting to the critical point now.
That sounds like a very embarrassing moment for sure! I'm glad nobody got hurt or got away and lost. Those Iggies will have to realize that you are superior hounds!

You just keep practicing the Stink Eye...it is a good weapon. hahaaa
ReplyDeleteMen in flying baskets do sound scary. Our first greyhound (Hunter) would freak out at weird stuff - trees that rustled, folded newspapers, some tires and any wheeled things(bikes, roller skates). But Mom was always good about calming him down again. Camie was just afraid of people when we first got her. We are glad your mom is prepared for anything.

What a beautiful pair of brindle hounds.
ReplyDeleteThose iggies will try to show you up, but I know from first hand experience they will never be able to out nap you two.
