dog vs. water hose

mom & dad just got back from a mini vacation & boy, did i miss them! no one hands out the milk bones quite like mom. & no one can throw my football as far as dad can. it is so good to be back in action...but...
oh, no! that water thing is starting...i have got to rescue mom! every evening when we go out for our jaunt, it awakens & interupts our peace & quiet.
it's ok, mom! i'll save you from its icy blast...
you are mine, you dreaded water sprayer...
take that...
& that...!
not one drop of water will harm my peeps - i WILL contain the danger!...
umphhhhh! you think you got me...
well you're wrong...grrrrrrr....
i've got it, mom! you are safe once again...
WHEW!
chivalry is not dead...at least not in my backyard!

dog - 1; water hose - 0!!!!

dog vs. hog

oh, no...here he comes again!!hedge is getting edgy - it's time to go back to college & that little spiked beast is cruising all over the joint. of course, he ususally aims for me! L. can't even stop him.she's afraid she might ruin her look if he gets too close. you know, a spike hanging off the nose of a basset isn't exactly high fashion (at least not this year). dear me, dad, did you hafta get him out??
you wanna cuddle? are you kidding me?!?!!
ok, ok, i give!i'm bringing in reinforcements!...Maggie the Boston Terrier (or Boston Terror, if you're a hedge hog!)Maggie is visiting from PA & technically the this tiny hound is our "aunt" - oh, please! are you confused yet? well, *she's* not afraid of Hedge!of course, they did put him back in his plastic roller dome. come here, you...i know you're in there...
dog - 1; hog - 2
(no hedgehogs were harmed in the production of this post.)
