This is Hemi. A dog with endless love and emotion, but cursed with the inability to be normal or to shut up. I think our move has been harder on the dogs than on any one of us. Hemi seems to be suffering from lack of brain and inability to remain silent since we have arrived in our new home. Though we haven't suffered the complete ravish of any trash cans, and all shoes have remained intact, our ear drums on the other hand have suffered dramatically. Poor Bubba can't catch a break.Our plan as soon as we moved in was to build a fence. This was going to be wonderful. We have a nice backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. INSERT HEMI BARKING. Such a peaceful setting, with birds chirpping and trees swaying in the breeze. INSERT HEMI BARKING. We could sit out on our deck and enjoy a peaceful life. INSERT HEMI BARKING. Everything would be great. NOT. As we know most plans bend and change, as has with our fence plan. But luckily, we have Hemi to remind us about every 3.5 minutes that he belongs outside. A quick trip outside to roam around for a few minutes and mark some plants won't do the trick of course. Nor will a 2 mile walk, or endless minutes running in the park. Definetly not good enough. He's nearing the status of a woman, you can never make him happy. What a delight life with Hemi is. To accompany his excessive need to be outdoors, he has begun to lick his foot. Not just a nice I'm bored lick, but we prefer to make the entire bottom of our foot bleed. So each pad is surrounded by a bloody ring, and then start licking Oakly's leg so his leg is also bleeding and bare...the fence has been raised from "should probably to it soon" to "extremely urgent". Thankfully I was able to let them run at my parents for most of the weekend, and was able to take them to work with me yesterday and let them be shop dogs. Get them out of the house some more. I'm suprised Hemi hasn't burned the place down, we'll see what I find when I get home today...
On a different note, everyone is doing good. Andi is loving daycare and Todd and I are working away. Todd was able to get a new pickup so that has been some excitment for us! Hope everyone is doing great!
