When our kids grow up to be... shall we say less than what we had hoped for...
And we ask ourselves, where did we go wrong?
**SIGH**
I'm talking about Gracie - aka The Intimidator - aka The Town Nuisance - aka Idiot Dog who Lunges at passersby.
Owners of other dogs are quick to turn around during their walks and go the other way when they see us coming.

** Shakes head** "Where did we go wrong?"
Dear Diary,
Mom has been delighted with my activity lately. I've been watching the house without falling asleep so much... keeping us safe from people lingering on the streets and looking suspicious. Walks are back in the picture for me and I keep the coast clear so we're free to enjoy our walks without intruders getting in the way.
Life is good. And at the end of the day, I am rewarded. Gracie.
Well, it's good to see that Gracie has so much energy still!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to be rewarded for being such a good watchdog!

Hi, I think Gracie is earning her keep by being such a good watchdog. After all, isn't that what we pay/feed them for. Sounds like all the dogs we've had, but I'm hoping the next pup we get will be so well socialized (I know I'm dreaming)that we won't have any discussions about what he is doing-lol. Thanks for sharing.

Gracie and my Jack Russell seem to have a lot in common!
ReplyDeleteGracie, I would imagine that mean people shake in their shoes when they see you on the job......keep up the good work....I can tell Mama is secretly proud of her hairy little child because of the treats.... that's a dead giveaway.....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jenni
