We’ve got a visitor!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 | Beowulf, Indigo | No Comments

February is the month of dog visitors. Our house is Camp Simon, I guess. We get the dog, their humans go to Hawaii. Doesn’t seem fair to me, to be honest. But it’s nice for us to have dogs for Indy to play with. Like Basja.

Indy and Basja (pronounced Baaasha with the long a) have been going crazy. Nucking futs about covers it, quite frankly. I got home Friday night (late because work stinks sometimes) and it was snowing a bit. I went outside with them to get them to play, and they rampaged for a good 20 minutes. And I mean really rampaged. Not some little fake play, but running everywhere. Indy got rolled a few times in the snow, but appeared to enjoy it. But she has the added bonus of being able to taunt Basja from under the deck because she is just short enough to be able to run around.

We convinced them to play tug with the 4 foot rope on Saturday.

I really need to figure out where I put the Flip camera, because a picture is just not going to do that game justice.

They played for at least an hour on Monday night. After they had calmed down, I went to survey the damage and had to put a fair amount of the furniture back where it normally is. I do believe mister “darn kids get off my lawn,” aka Beowulf, got in on the action last night.

I am so glad they are enjoying themselves.
