In Trouble Today!

This morning I caught Rowdy rolling in a dead animal in the yard.  It was a mole that I killed with a trap and he must have dug him up out of the ground.  Well, I didn't want to take him to work with that stink on him and his fur, so he ended up staying at home in the yard by himself all day.  He got a bath just as soon as I got home so he's clean now.

Always Jealous

When Rowdy and Wrigley are together, they always compete for your affections.  The other day, Sarah had Wrigley on her lap sitting beside me and Rowdy was sitting on the floor in front of me.  I would pet Rowdy three times and then pet Wrigley three times.  Each time I petted Wrigley, Rowdy would start whining as he wanted all the attention.  I did this about eight or ten times and each time I started petting Wrigley, Rowdy whined.  You almost had to be there to appreciate the humor, as Rowdy is so cute when he is Jealous!

Ruffled Hair

Dealing with all the troubles of my business and everything, I haven't been posting anything on here in a while.  Several things have happened regarding Rowdy since then, so I will try to remember them and post them.

Yesterday, one of my customers came in the shop and we talked for a while.  Rowdy, stuck on top of the counter, was whining his barks and wagging his tail wanting to greet him and get petted.  The noise was so annoying that I had to grab him by the snout to shut him up.  When the guy left I had followed him out, still talking to him and after he left, I came back into the shop.  I disguised my voice and pulled my shirt up over my head and proceeded to approach Rowdy barely looking out of my shirt, walking sideways, looking like the hunchback of Noter Dame and saying in a low voice something like, "Is that a doggie!"

He let out a low concerned 'wolf' at me a couple of times and when I got up close to him I dropped my shirt and discovered a wide strip of his hair was standing straight up on his back and he had peed all over his carpet pad.  I was surprised at his response and got so tickled over the fact that I fooled him.  I normally would have probably been mad at him for peeing all over his carpet and rubbed his nose in it, but since I caused the event, I just took the carped pad outside and hosed it off, laughing all the time!
