Yesterday morning, bright and early, we woke up Mommy nice and sweetly with licks and cuddles and asked her nicely if she could let us out so we could go potty in the yard!
SIKE! (Mommy is so gullible!)
We knew full well there was an ENEMY lurking around our territory.
Mommy opened the back door - and we took off barking and running like mad.
Do you see it?
Mommy was yelling our names and saying "leave it" and trying everything in her power (treats) to get us to stop barking and get us back in the house. Mommy didn't know what it was at the time, but knew we were barking at something, and she was afraid the neighbors were gonna start complaining about the noise we were making so early in the morning.
It's not the best picture -- butt do you know what that is....
It's a possum!
Right there between our fence and our neighbors fence.
It looked like it was stuck. The head (a light gray color) was too the left of the vertical pole in the fence and the body was to the right of the pole. Turns out the possum wasn't stuck after all. In about 10-15 minutes he left.
Mommy's brother-in-law drove over in the morning and checked the yard to make sure it was safe before they let us out again.
Mommy and Grandma were SOOO mad at us. They said we were in Trouble with a capital T.
They said, when we hear them calling our names -- we are supposed to obey and listen to them and come to them. (I gave them sympathetic doggie eyes and tried giving my (wet muddy) paw to them to apologize when they were giving us a talkin to!)
I'm sorry, correct me if I'm wrong -- butt is there a law written somewhere that says Dogs are supposed to obey their peeps 100% of the time?
Do humans obey all the stuff us Dogs tell them to do 187% of the time? NO! I can tell you for a fact that when my Mommy is watching a TV show, and I have to go to the potty, and I bother her to let me out -- she NEVER listens to me and continues to watch her show until a commercial break or whenever the show is finished.
I think us dogs had the right to bark at the wee hours of the morning if there is an intruder lurking about our property. Ok technically he was on the border line of our property. Butt that was close enough to being on our property.
Do you think us dogs wrongfully "got a talkin to" about obeying them. We were defending our land!
