Our dog baby




Our dog Bella is currently the baby of the house and we've been wondering lately how she's going to react to the baby when he comes. She really is such a happy dog and is such a clown and a joiner. Norris grabbed me and started dancing with me in the living room tonight and she wanted to join in, circling us and barking, trying to get in on the action. She is a very tidy dog, she likes to have all her toys close together, not scattered about the house. Norris scattered her toys around the living room tonight- she had 5 out- and we watched as slowly she played with all of them and got them back to position, near her dog bed and within mouths reach.

Watching her operate in the house is a lesson on how to survive in a corporate environment. She is very good at kissing the ass above her and dominating the one below her - the cat. Of course as in any good middle manager, when caught with the cats head in her mouth she adopts a look of surprise and spits the head out immediately, looking at the cat with a blaming expression. Pace, for her part uses the opportunity to preen and stand her ground with upper management support whilst knowing that she will pay for this once Norris and I leave the vicinity.
