Hhhhhmmmm.......what's that for?

Her nibs is utilizing her nose as often as possible these days, morning, noon and night. It’s like she has just realized that this is one of her characteristics as a dog/ retriever. The head is pointed upward to field the slightest aroma, inside or outside and that accompanies her latest discovery that the scrap basket in our powder room has ever new and interesting things to pull out, prance through the halls with and chew on with great enthusiasm!!! The empty toilet paper roll makes for an interesting plaything until it lies flat, half chewed and liberally moistened from ample time in Maggie’s mouth. Curiosity about a used Kleenex is met with lying in the front hallway and shredding it, awaiting the next distraction and something more purposeful??? Of course, without a backward glance she’s off to engage in whatever strikes her fancy but there is an expectation from her highness that the mess be cleaned up post haste!!!


Actually, we have bedrooms that resemble this scenario, discarded clothing, empty plates and bowls, comforters on the floor and a curious pile of what one could speculate was the clean clothes, washed, dried and neatly folded by two parents now intriguingly camouflaged by the discarded, sweaty and soiled from this week’s events, clothes readying themselves for the next culling into the unused laundry hamper for the weekly migration to the washing machine!!!!! Yes, I fear Maggie is imprinting on our children!
