Peculiarities

[Heidi & Milton]

Milt Dog just loves to spend quality time in our foyer, his room of the house.  Usually, he lies with his nose pressed to the window ready and waiting to defend with a mighty bark, but occasionally he rests further back in the room to take a little snooze break from security duty because, well, it can be stressful at times.

Sometimes when a boy wakes up from one of these itty bitty naps, his tennis ball is just in the oddest of places, like so.

It's like a giant Easter egg.

Oh, that Milt Dog.  On a side note, this morning at 4:30A.M., I awoke to the sound of Milton furiously lapping up water; he tends to have a powerful thirst in the middle of the night that quite often will wake both Jeff and me from a very sound sleep!  Once the thirsty boy was finished, he, of course, walked over to nudge his big wet nose onto the bed to ask me (It's always the Momma Dog!) to let him out of our bedroom.  As the cold water dripped from his muzzle onto my pajama sleeve, I realized that Milt's water dish was, indeed, not in our room, and he had just taken a generous, probably more than generous, gulp of our toilet bowl water.  Ugh.  Some days I think Milt is almost human, and then I crash back down into reality!  He's our little... dog.

Very cute. Georgia has a taste for toilet bowl water, cat s***, and almost anything disgusting. Yet her high quality kibble remains untouched.

I also call her my 45lb alarm clock that doesn't have a snooze button (I have tried various tricks to create a snooze button to no avail).

LOL.  I always wonder if Libby would even notice that there is water in the toilet.......
