So today was odd to say the least; and when a seven pound little red blogging dog says things are odd, then you know strange things are going on. What really made things odd was not the visitors, whether four legs or two. What made things really odd was what went on behind the scenes.

An old lady dog, named Lady Diana, came in to have a large lump removed from her face.  The lump bore an uncanny resemblance to one of the dangling boy parts, but what it was doing attached to her face I can't understand.  Normally, pets have to get pinch medicine and go for a nap so mother can take the lumps off.  Not today.  Lady Di got a small pinch and then just lied there while mother cut the red syrupy bump off her cheek.  Lady Di was pretty old, so maybe she just lies like that most of the time, but I was still impressed. 

Later, Sweet Sally brought her son, Gomer. Gomer is one of those dogs that probably came out last in his litter and had his birth sack stuck to his face a little too long. Don't get me wrong, Gomer is as sweet at they come, just like his mom, but he'd never make it as a working dog, if you know what I mean. It had been awhile since Gomer had been in, so I had to refresh his memory about who ran things around here. He was quick to learn that though, so maybe he's not as thick as I thought.

I know I've talked before about the humans and their strange laughing behaviors. It seems that when they begin barking about things being cute, is when most of the laughing starts and the behaviors get more and more strange. When Gomer was visiting, mother kept following me around with the one-eyed clicking machine. Vonnie and Sweet Sally kept trying to get me and Gomer to hug each other, while they were busy giggling the whole time.  Don't they know that dogs are kissers, not huggers?

 

Bea was smart and tried to stay out of it. I don't begin to understand this type of human behavior. I have learned that if you just remain calm, the crazy humans will eventually stop laughing and things will get back to normal. Bea did say something about the moon being full, maybe that story about humans and full moons is true after all...
