Sweet Little Dog. The other day she decided I needed help putting on my shoes.

73/365 -- Roaming Gnome

One day last fall I noticed Little Dog roaming around the back yard with something strange in her mouth.  My first thought was "Oh Lord! What does she have this time?"

It turned out that she was carting around a small terra cotta gnome that lived in my garden.  I was curious why she carting him around the yard but I didn't worry about it too much. She's a strange little dog. She's done weirder things than this before.

A few minutes later I did a bit more investigating and finally figured out what the fascination was with Mr. Gnome.  It turns out the gnome is hollow, and a small critter had crawled all the way up inside.

After some careful negotiation (I'm sure bribery with a doggy cookie was involved) I managed to get the gnome away from Little Dog. The tiny critter scurried out while Bianka was distracted and he lived to tell the tale. 

Today was another story.   Little Dog has officially opened "hunting season" in  the back yard. Today she  captured another furry critter who wasn't as lucky as the one stowed away in the gnome.  

So Bianka 1 Vermin 0.

When momentum is lost, go to your standard and post a cute picture of the dog.

Okay, I admit it. I fell off the wagon with my posting. Honestly, I sort of counted on in it happening eventually. Really does anyone care? Leave it to my dear ol' dad to give me the kick in the rear I needed to get going again. I guess if I neglect to post he begins to worry about me.

So let's just say my blog took a little two week vac-a. Everyone needs a break some time.

Bianka's rule #153 When there is activity in the kitchen be sure to observe the activity while standing on three legs. Standing with one paw in the air is cute and you just might get a treat.

You can never have too many photos of the Little Dog.

I got caught up in the Super Bowl, so today's post is a little late.

Little Dog was sleeping in her bed and I heard growls and groans.  She was clearly dreaming.  I suspect she may have been reliving an event such as this.

Hi fans of Mom's blog.   Tonight was a special night because mom, let me cuddle in her lap as she worked on today's post.   We were having so much fun she wanted to take a picture. That's me in the bottom right.

I know it's kind hard to see me there. Mom tried to use a cookie to get my attention. Oh boy did that work!

By the way this is the face Mom makes when I've had enough fooling around and snatch the treat out of her hand.  (PS It was yummy. )

12/365 -- Things that bring me JOY

Six years ago this weekend I became a mom....a dog mom.  It was love at first sight.  This face has made me laugh, cry, smile, and frown.  She has taught me what unconditional love is and what it is like to want to put your own needs aside for what is best for your little one...be them two legged or four.




Sure without her I'd probably have more money the bank, less holes in the yard and certainly the garter snake population would be higher here, but I wouldn't change anything.

She has her two favorite things for a night in, a bone and a foot to rest her head on.

Happy

Have you ever seen those posters that say, "Today I will be happier than a bird with a french fry"?  Well, I have my own version of this. From now on I'm going to say. "Today I will be happier than a Little  Dog with a big hose." (I think she thinks it's a snake)

Oh Little Dog. You make me smile. :D

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

If you are one of the 3 people other than my mom following this blog you know how much I like to exploit my dog.  You might be expecting to see something like her dressed up as a leprechaun  in honor of St. Patrick's Day.  No No. Bianka Dog prefers to reenact St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland.
