Wonder if someone Freecycled this

At least it comes with its own mover.

The Pack, revisted

Woke up to the dogs having a dust up this morning. Nothing serious, just the revisiting of the household hierarchy that happens now and then. Flash has been testing the boundaries of Gracie's Alpha role. Little things like demanding her attention, refusing to budge when he's blocking the path, barking at her when she's lying where he'd like to nap. I'd wondered if adding Libby would upset the status quo and while its been incredibly good for them, a resettling is natural when another animal is added to the household. Gracie has given Flash a few warning signals over the last week, growling and stares which he ignored. Her patience was shot today and she let him have it.

She pierced his ear just above the bottom edge. It should close and heal without problems, we'll keep an eye out for possible infection. Both dogs are acting very contrite, its been a quiet submissive morning all the way around. Flash and Gracie have made up, he's groomed her and cuddled up on the sofa after she claimed the leather chair.

Laura was a champ, kept completely calm, just separated the dogs without yelling or panicking. Frankly, with her background I would have expected some stress, something. Instead, she happily headed off to the local high school to help install one of her art works then she's off to another counseling session with Cada. I'm so proud of her.

Another day in the life of the Tryst Inn.

In other news . . .

Libby keeps falling into the rabbit pen. She won't give up climbing it, but she looks so completely astonished when she suddenly finds herself behind the pen fencing looking up at the dogs.

Each time she's completely shocked. The blond hairs are winning.

*sheesh*

Uhm no. Just no.

Bunhalla Orchard Getaway Cottage

Laura asked to create a little daytime play area for Thistle, since he's been abnormally grumpy lately and has gained a bit of weight. So this afternoon we moved the old Orchard House (remember that one?) back into the Orchard, threw a bit of collapsible fencing around it and called it a Cottage. Thistle adores his new daytime abode - there were many, many binkies.

Pardon the rotten color - while it wasn't yet sundown, its very dark in that part of the yard under the grand firs.



It was a complete family affair, with Libby Mae stalking through the alder trees with Flash hooting after her. At one point they jumped up on top of the cottage roof together, sadly before we had a chance to get a pic they jumped off. Just as well for the roof.
