As The Fur Flies 1
6/16/04Last night per our usual routine, I let Casper the dancing dog out of his run – he dances on his hinds until I get to the gate to let him out – he had his treats and had, had enough of mommy giving him scritches, he knows I’m trying to remove undercoat at the same time and he’s not having’ it! He’s off and running to patrol the yard and pee on my bushes. *sigh* I come into the house to find Grizz who of course has been throwing himself against the backdoor in utter disbelief that I have left him in the house while I went out (not like we haven’t had the same routine for two years now!) and of course Cocoa who calmly sits there and watches Grizz lose his mind while I am outside with Cazz. Once I am inside though the calm is over. Grizz and Cocoa register that I am in and off they go! Cocoa tears into the living room scooping up whichever stuffy is in her path, turns and begins her tear at top speed through the house. Red, not to be left out starts screaming as if he is a blow by blow commentator. LOL Grizz in the meantime follows her to the living room then strategically places himself in the kitchen by the hall so when she finished the first round of her tear he can pounce. Here she comes top speed, moving too fast, there goes Grizz into the air, lands on Cocoa’s back causing her to lose footing, they are now a tangled mess of fur rolling into the living room from the speed of the impact. Red is screeching, pacing back and forth, wings flapping...not real sure who he's rooting for! LOL They jump up as if nothing has happened and begin to wrestle. Grizz has the upper paw for the moment and has Cocoa on her back no wait now Cocoa is taking the lead and Grizz is on the floor tummy down, feet sprawled, Cocoa on his ear. Red, still squawking. Grizz isn’t out though he quickly rolls over to his back kicks his feet causing Cocoa to jump back and "ruff". Cocoa is back on her tear, Grizz stands still and takes nips at her as she passes (which in itself is funny cuz by the time Grizz actually nips, Cocoa is in the other room – the girl is fast!) After Cocoa has had enough racing through the house she tackles Grizz (that’s her version of brakes LOL) the wrestling match has begun again – all you see are two balls of fur rolling around grunting and whining with occasional ruffs thrown in for good measure. Red now disgusted with the entire matter retreats to his cage for a snack. Well last night ALG and I actually wanted them to stop wrestling before they were ready (usually last for about 30 minutes after they come in). We were trying to get settled in to watch LA get their butt handed to them by Detroit. We both called for the dogs to stop – still they wrestled, ALG gave shout, it stopped momentarily. When it started back up I called for them both to come, Grizz knew better but Cocoa came bounding around the couch and jumped into my lap gave a kiss then plopped down on the footrest as if she had been invited! (I was in the recliner part of the sectional) Both ALG and I firmly said "DOWN" right after she did this. She jumped up and stood on the footrest for a second, we said "DOWN" again, she jumped down, turned, sat, looked at ALG and I and let out a barking howl "Baruffoowll, oollllll, oolllllll" we fell apart laughing as she stalked off to curl up with Grizz – it was if she was fussing at us like "HEY! YOU were the ones that called ME remember?!" We laughed till tears flowed. If Cocoa is nothing else she is a daily adventure – curious to see what she does next………
