crysania4I did warn you that I would be talking about my dog a lot, didn't I? lol
David and I decided that I should be the one to rescue Dahlia from being alone yesterday, so he left around 5pm and I got home around 5:45pm or so. She was SO excited to see me. Danced around, jumped a bit (but not ON me) and her tail was wagging SO HARD that she whacked it into the door frame on the way into the living room and scared herself. So cute.
We laid down on the bed for a bit and she got lots of love and attention and then we went outside to wait for Daddy. I managed to get a lot of great pictures of her just lounging around. For now we have a tie out so she can hang out outside with us without our having to have her on a leash. We're not using the tie out as a place to just stick her when she needs to go out (not that we've figured out how she signals that she has to go out yet -- we've been taking her out pretty regularly and she seems to hold it in between those times without any problem).
Once David got home, we headed back into the woods for another walk. The first part of it was, unfortunately, ruined a bit by a kid on an ATV that kept driving it back and forth by us. He was really irritating! The first time, I held Dahlia close to me and as he went by she went behind me. I figured she was scared of it. The second time, she started straining at the leash to the point of actually getting her front feet in the air. And then she barked a few times at him! That was the first time I've heard her voice. We think she was protecting us. Aww...
We also got to see her jump over the drainage ditch in pursuit of something. She really loves these walks.
The night was pretty relaxing. This morning she actually started to play a bit! We played some tug of war with her mousey and when I threw it she actually went and grabbed it! We'll teach her fetch yet!
And now for some pictures.
Teats up!
She REALLY likes to put her paw in your hand.
