Karma thy name is Gracie

[trystinn]

Last week we bought a new dog toy, a faux fleece stuffed elephant, figured Flash would get a kick out of it. The little fuzzy elephant makes a delightful trumpeting noise when you squeeze it or in a dog's case, bite it. For whatever reason, this trumpet scares Flash so badly he'll jump off of furniture and even leave the room to get away from it.

Cue Gracie. Her little border collie brain just figured out the above and she's been gnashing down on the elephant all evening. Flash has been jumping sideways and slinking away from his demented sister, giving us guilt-inducing reproachful looks ever since.

The power dynamic of the pack just slid sideways.

I can put up with quite a lot when I'm baking in the kitchen (more beer butter bread) and only aware in snippets. :)

Besides, hubby is in a Red Dwarf marathon - I can barely hear my own thoughts those nights.
