It's been nice weather this week, so I've been out with my animals as much as possible.
The other day I came home and was greeted by an excited Zeke and a very mellow but cheerful Rusty. He plodded up to me, butt wagging, and since I had nothing else to do, I stroked his ear and before I knew it I was sitting on the back porch giving him a full-body massage. :doglaugh: I started on his neck and he just flopped right over, completely relaxed. It was funny. He always does that. xD Sometimes Rusty's calm behavior is a sweet reprieve from Mud and Zeke's workaholic activities. Lol. Rusty's a 60+ pound snuggler, and never turns down the opporunity to cuddle up as close as he can get and snooze. Lol.
Yesterday I took Zeke to a nearby field and played fetch for a good while. I took notice of his beauty and athleticism as he'd take off after the ball, running through the Texas dirt and wheat that grows in that field. I need to get some recent pics of him. =) He's so fast. o-o He enjoys catching it too, so just for kicks I decided to see how high he could jump(straight in the air). When we quit we sat down and just took in the fresh air and the sunset. I love living in the country...no high-rise apartments or skyscrapers to ruin the horizon. It was relaxing.
Today, a few hours ago, Mud's curiousity made me smile... Whatever was on TV was showing some whooping cranes, and at the unusual noise they made, she spun around. She stared at the TV, head cocked to one side, left ear falling over a bit at the tip, wondering what on Earth made that noise and what those weird flying things were doing. For a long while she just stood there with that amusing look on her face, completely bewildered.
This week's been kind of crummy, and one particular day I came home in a not-so-good mood to find Mud cheery as always, Rusty wanting to snuggle, and Z a little calmer than normal, wanting some attention. A few days ago I woke up to Nick snuggled up next to me as close as he could get, rolled over on his back with all four legs in the air. :doglaugh:
The things our dogs do that make us happy...:doghappy:
