Today we gave had Bonnie for 7 days.

She is one little clown.

I can’t believe what a puppy she is. She chews ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Fingers, toes, shoes, Stevie’s elbow, photo albums… etc.

She has invented several little games that Stevie never thought of, like Pull-the-Tissues-Out-of-the-Box. While both of them go for shredding used tissues, Bonnie discovered an even better way to get her tissues- straight from the box. I have to tuck in all the tissues into the box so she’s not tempted to pull them out. 🙂

She also likes to hide her treats. I also caught her with her dingo (a little doggie raw-hide bone) in her mouth, scratching at the carpet by the couch. It took me a second to realize she was trying to save it for later. I have never seen a dog do that before, other than in cartoons. All my previous animals are into the “eat it allllllll now- PIG OUT!” methods.

Not Bonnie. I’ve caught her hiding it in the couch crevices, behind the TV, under the dog bed, etc. I’m sure that if she could, she would bury it in the dirt outside, but this is cleaner… i guess?

I’m actually impressed. We’re gonna have our work cut out with this brainy pup.   She knows how to sniff out trouble!

This week, I have an awesome opportunity to go to Dallas for an all-expenses paid training. (This would be one of the great things about going to the new middle school). I’ll be there Monday-Friday in a ritzy hotel. I feel kind of bad though- Jared will have to manage the dreadfully darling dogs on his own. I have been overwhelmed with both of them WITHOUT a lot of outside things going on- he’s gonna have normal work on top of these two little handfuls!!!

I know he’ll be fine, but send happy thoughts his way just in case!

Life is good, even with the new craziness that has been added in. 🙂
