9/16/09: I'd love to but I am building a pig from a kit

I just figured out that if you click on the Subject button it will generate random email subjects... I thought you would like this one. Actually I am writing about my cute special needs children... You know I am talking about my babies (puppies)... Ok, so I start my normal puppy routine - get up, take the puppies out, get ready for work (which was easy today since I am at home!), I had to run some errands this morning, so I put them in their crate and take off. I get back maybe half an hour later. I open the crate door so the puppies can come out. Puck(renamed Henry) comes out, but Jasper just looks at me like "what do you want?" and lays back down. So, I leave the door to the crate open so he can come out when he gets ready. Puck proceeds to investigate everything in the house and discovers..... his own tail. The elusive and cunning thing that it is seems to be able to keep pace with him... if he moves faster at it in one direction, so does it, if he turns - no matter how quicky - the tail is always one step ahead. Then suddenly *plop* he splays out on the floor like a bear skin rug. I don't know if he is tired from chasing his tail or if he is dizzy from spinning in circles. Eventually he gets up and goes in to the crate with Jasper. I decide that I am hungry. As is normal with any dog, movement in the kitchen means the potential for food, so they decide to come out of the crate. Jasper is looking at me like "This better be worth it because you know you are disturbing me." with his bed head and big eyes. Puck, on the other hand, is standing on point, poised to charge in at the first sign of treats. They figure out there is nothing in it for them and decide to play. Suddenly it gets very quiet. I don't know if its because they have gotten into trouble or because they have decided it is nap time. I turn to look at them and Puck is sitting by the Ottoman looking guilty and suddenly, the puppy bed becomes self-propelled. Jasper apparently figured out how to get under it, but couldn't figure out how to get back out. I pulled the bed off of Jasper and his hair all over his head and back was standing straight up. Puck was very excited to see that Jasper had been found and pounced on him. They are sleeping now. I guess we will see how long this lasts. I will have to go find them Halloween costumes so I can torment them by making them wear the costumes and take lots of pictures.
