Rosco says: "Help! She's abandoned her baby!"

[Adina P]

I have been trying to get back into jogging over the past couple months. Clark even got me a jogging stroller.... I've taken Natalie on a few jogs. And I've taken Rosco and Natalie on a few jogs. But this morning I thought it would be oh so nice to just go alone for a change. I waited until Natalie was tired enough to have her morning nap (just after 9am this morning), brought Cass in from outside. Turned on the baby monitor and casually plopped it in our room where Clark was fast asleep (hey it's Sunday! I'm a lark married to an owl), praying Natalie stays asleep while I'm out and happy that the rest of the critters would be quiet since they'd all been up and we'd even been out in the yard together while I pooper scooped.

So, I left pleased that all the critters of the house were happy and chill and wouldn't be disturbed.

When I got back, I noticed the Sunday paper gone from the porch. The only critter who would have brought that in should be sleeping still! Hmmm...I hope Natalie didn't wake Clark up. I tip toed into our bedroom to see if perhaps a baby is napping with Daddy. Nope. Clark hears me and tells me that Rosco was all messed up after I left, apparently.

He made Clark let him out into the yard, but immediately came back in and ran to the front window looking for me. Then to the dining room window. Then to the baby's room door. "Where's Momma? The baby's alone!"

Okay I have no idea what he wanted/needed/was worried about. But he's never responded in this way to my leaving. He'll look out the window and wish he could go with me, but usually that's it. All I can think of is his possible confusion about me leaving without a baby. Funny funny silly boy. Very sweet of him to be concerned.

No worries Wendy, I was not offended! =)

No Fear--I wasn't disparaging Clark as a daddy! I just like trying to figure out what goes thru our goofy dogs' minds. My dogs hate it when I mess with any of my routines!

Wendy: Clark is a great Daddy and watches her when I'm at work...Rosco's never been concerned then. I can't figure out what the significant difference was today.

Joanne: Rosco says the couch is too mushy and covered with baby things so he'll pass.

Just what does this say about Roscos' opinion of Clark being in charge of the baby?? :-)

So just who is the boss in this house? Hmmmm? What a responsible Dood! Good Boy. Hey, Rosco, your mom told me you could sit on the couch and cuddle tonight and have an extra bowl of kibble for doing such a good job!
