Filler: Dogs in bathrobes

I got bathrobes for the dogs recently because I was tired of wrestling Yaris when it’s time to dry her off after a bath.  She thinks it’s enormously fun to wrestle you for control of the towel.  I have no idea why.  She’ll try and steal the towel from you too.  Ugh.

But now I don’t have to go through all that.  I can just stick her bathrobe on her and leave her alone while I go give Horse a bath.  And then I can stick a bathrobe on Horse, who is much easier to dry except he’s also much bigger than Yaris, and go do things around the yard.  By the time I’m finished, they’re about as dry as they would normally be if I had done it myself.  I just have to do a small rubdown on the legs and sometimes the haunches.

 

 

Yaris is a punk (2)

Ok, this is nothing new.  We already knew that Yaris is a punk.  But she did something the other day that just…wow.  What a punk.

Horse was rubbing at his face the other day with his front paws and legs.  I often tell him he needs to learn how to clean his face.  I guess he was taking my advice.  At one point, he decided to stand up and continue to rub at his face.  That’s when Yaris came in from the backyard and paused a moment to watch what Horse was doing.  Then she sauntered forward toward Horse, waited for a prime moment, and then head-butted him!  All of these actions were deliberate actions.  At no point did it seem like she was just doing a random string of actions for no particular reason.  She definitely decided to head-butt Horse.  Then she watched him lose his balance and stumble.  At least she didn’t sit down and laugh at him afterward.  What a bully.  Punk.

She was aware that I saw the whole thing too.  But she still came over afterward like nothing was amiss and asked if she could hop onto the couch.  😐
