Kate!!!
OMG – she just about gave me a nervous breakdown last night! I let her out around 9:15ish (she just loves being outside, stays out for hours). She has a few raw bones out there. By 10ish I was tired, wanted to go to bed. Eric was at hockey, so I was alone with her. Our yard is really big, so she’s got tonnes of room to run…
Called her to come in, she didn’t come. So, put on my boots and went out. She wanted to play keep-away with me (with her bone in her mouth). Was chasing her and cursing for a bit before I gave up. Came in for a minute (thinking she’d come to the door seeing I was visably upset with her), NOPE. So – went back out. Was chasing her saying “Kate – COME NOW! Get inside! NOW! You're being a little b&%#$”!
I finally got her, but not until 40 minutes later. I’m exhausted today, but I did run a marathon (so) I’m not surprised! The kicker was it was raining out too, so she was covered in mud. Spent a good 20 mins cleaning her when we got in. Even though I was saying “you don’t do that – no” as I was wiping her feet, the tail was wagging the whole time. GOSH! I can't even stay pissed at her for more than a few minutes...
It’s cute when she plays keep-away, but not when I’m tired, want to get to bed, and have to put on a performance for the neighbours wearing my PJ’s and my hot Sorrel boots I’ve had since 9th grade
Forgot to mention that my shoulder is killing me too. During the chase, I slipped on a piece of poop and slid across the yard a few meters
Just had to share my little story with you all
