Are You Scared Yet?

Whenever I'm in  doubt, I turn to Annie. She used to be a scaredy dog, but she's awfully brave compared with me. I appreciate her instinct and wisdom. I still don't like the front yard or airplanes flying above me or doors slamming or...

When Mom and Dad decided to watch The Blood of Dracula while drinking their coffee this morning, I had serious doubts. Scary movie at breakfast time? Don't shake me up!

But it turned out the special effects were down right funny. I'm only eleven weeks old, and I've seen better. Annie and I just didn't get it. Wasn't the movie supposed to be scary?

 Annie was right. Just close your eyes, go to sleep and it will (yawn) be over in a flash...

and hopefully...

you won't...

wake up as a...

MONSTER DOG!

              Boo! Happy Halloween a day early, everybody!

Love ya!

This Book Is Good for You

I'm pretty serious about this writing gig. At least, the pencil chewing part.

           Mom says she likes to make lists, so I'm giving it a try.

When Mom's not writing, she's reading. Yesterday, Annie told you that she and I like to read, too. So this morning, when Mom left 101 TRAINING TIPS FOR YOUR DOG by Kate Delano Condax on the couch, I assumed it was for Annie and me. I heard Mom say it's pretty good, and I agree. It's quite tasty!

Mom says I've totally given life to the phrase "dog-eared."  I say (to quote Weird Al Yankovic,) "Just eat it!"  I'm pretty sure Marley would be proud.

Well, it's the weekend! Have fun! I will!

Love ya!
Layla

My Turn! (Annie guest blogs.) Never Ever Say You're Bored!

"Do not EVER tell Mom you're bored," I told Layla. And she didn't listen. Hey, give her a break. She's only been here eleven days!

 So Mom gave us a book to read. It's called THE DOG BEHAVIOR ANSWER BOOK, which she read when she adopted me. She pulled it off the shelf last week when she brought Layla home and started reading it again just in case she doesn't already know everything.  Personally, I think she does pretty well with rescued dogs. Of course, she picks the good ones. :)  Anyhowl, on the back of the book is a quote by John Grogan, the famous Marley's human. Marley is Layla's hero.    

I've read the book twice and I'm a fast reader. Layla got behind real quick, and I took a snooze on page 57. The section was called "Okay to Growl in Play?" Like duh. This morning we had the best romp ever. Told Mom it's all in fun--she gets a little nervous. Yesterday she broke us up just when we were getting started. Today she grabbed the camera and took videos. Boy oh boy, I thought she took a lot of pictures of ME. But this Layla-dog... We're learning to sleep with flashes going off in our faces.

Okay, well, Layla is still catching up. By the way, she's afraid of the front yard. I don't get it. That's where all the action is. Bikes, cars, walkers. Lots to bark at. She better keep reading... and get over it.

Have a boo-t-ful day! Hope you get lots of Milkbone Biscuits and Beggin' Strips in your Trick or Treat bag on Halloween!  

The Big Sister,

Annie
