"Beat the Bark"


...this morning was my last day with edgar & zowie [aka "my seniors"]. it was bittersweet, as i know that i'll have them again soon - but they started and ended my day on such a perfect note these past 3 weeks... i'd gotten used to it. zowie is always sooo excited to see me when i come [me = food] that she does this little dance then begins barking like mad [she's got a louddd bark for such a little, older, girl... its the aussie in her] until i feed them. so we developed a game i call "beat the bark" where i have to get in the house, put my stuff down, grab and organize the mail, grab edgars bowl, make it to the kitchen and scoop both of their food before she starts barking. hmm, put it this way - calone: 2, zowie: 20 easily... i finally stopped counting :)

but anyway... i love them... and i just wanted to share that!!

the current roster here on vanowen street: inca, sydney, bam & stimpy. more stories to come soon!!
