The weather has been so sunny and nice that I’ve let my dogs stay out in their yard a lot. Well, let me amend that. I’ve tried to let them stay out. Blondie, who gives blonds a new level of dumb sweetness, digs herself a little trench of cool dirt, lies in it and is happy. Blue, on the other hand, sits on the little wooden stoop right in front of the door and barks. Not at anything in particular. In fact, she doesn’t even move from her sitting position. No, she just sits there and barks randomly at whatever it is that she thinks she sees or hears… or maybe she really doesn’t see or hear anything but thought she’d bark IN CASE something was trying to sneak up on her. Or maybe she just does it to remind herself she still alive.
No matter how you look at it, it’s annoying as hell.
