Attention!!!

Puppies have this wonderful habit of exploring things new to them by employing their senses and if that doesn’t categorize what’s in front of them, resorting to barking and even a cat like swipe at the bewildering object can often help to assimilate the discovery. Of course the firmly placed paw is more dog like and less insulting to her highness than being equated to the feline population!

Potted plants on the patio are to be smelled with nose firmly rooting out anything that requires identification. Bending and breaking the stems is merely collateral damage in this quest for knowledge but if one presses further, the rounded pot has the tendency to roll on its side which presents something brand new, is clearly out of the ordinary and its tendency to continue to roll is most perplexing. The ensuing game of life takes on the proportions of barking at an intruder who defiantly won’t cease to move and pay heed to the very determined Maggie!!! Minutes pass and still there is no outcome as the now stationary pot continues to perplex Maggie who has discovered that she has a great bark and when used repeatedly is rather commanding!!! However, no one inside the house is impressed as everyone grabs at familiar toys to distract our newly self appointed guard dog!
