Oh what a doodly morning!

SamsonsMom · 11-23-2009, 09:00 AM

I was so happy this morning - we were running EARLY (big deal for us!) - everybody was doing such a good job!! THAN I went to take out the garbage and warm up the car - guess I didn't shut that dang screen door all the way because next thing I know I see some white animal thing dash down the street. OF course this CAN NOT be my wonderfully good boy Henry?!?!?!

HEY LOOK it is Henry - I run inside, get the leash and the first bag of treats I can get my hands on. OH did I mention I'm in a business suit and 3 inch heels?

I take off after him, luckily he didn't go to far, he found a backyard to explore that left their gate open. REALLY good thing I live in a low-crime area I guess because I'm entering someone's backyard without their permission to get my dog - LOL.

Henry thought this was a totally fun activity and that I should play with him. He started doing the Doodle 800 and was totally uninterested in the treats. I'm trying to quietly tell him to come here. The people who live in the house are elderly and still asleep. FINALLY I squat down (again in a business suit and heels) and he comes up to me. Grab his collar, click on the leash and he looks up at me like "come on Mom we were just starting to have fun".

I couldn't help but laugh - my own fault not making sure the door was shut all the way - and what a sight to see, a woman in a suit trying desperately to get her dog to come home at 6:45 A.M. LOL. Now all I have to do is clean the mud off my shoes and pant legs and I'm good to go.

Henry is back Safely at home.

OH and GOOD BOY SAMSON didn't dare step out of that house.

Henry, Henry, Henry!!! You ornery fellow! I have had more than several similar episodes with the Oz-man! They find a teeny little gap and whoosh.....off they go and the games begin! Ozzie likes to go over for a little visit with Buck, the neighbors dog. We've been training with a shock collar (I wish they would call it something else. That just sounds so mean!) He usually responds very well with just the Tone Alert but when he gets it in his huge head to go play...nothing will stop him. I'm just glad my neighbors aren't out there filming me because I don't always look presentable early in the morning (or late in the evening....OR the middle of the afternoon. You get the picture!

) And an atta-boy to Samson for staying in. Maybe he lost the bet to Henry on who gets to go and have a good run with mom!!!! "Rock-Paper-Scissors! Darn! Paper covers my rock....ok Henry...you go this time!!!" I hope you were able to get yourself cleaned up in time so you weren't late!

You two are hilarious!! Oh, to have a camera rolling for these times...I guess that is what reality TV is about...they hope to catch these magical moments.

SamsonsMom · 11-23-2009, 04:21 PM

LOL I'm glad I can laugh about it and it all turned out well. They should really make a reality show about Doodles - they could call it "DAYS OF OUR DOODLES" or D-O-O-D for short.

It's hard to have a perfect morning out the door on time with everyone smiling. At least you had a good laugh!

those Talladega mornings..afternoon, anytime moments are so
funny to watch..then trying to runt them down is another story..

SamsonsMom · 11-24-2009, 10:11 AM

WELL again this morning Henry got out. Luckily he only went across the street. Really windy morning and the wind blew open the screen door.

Across the street neighbor has a Shi-zu (sp?) and a really CLEAN all glass screen door. Henry got one look at the little guy across the street and bolted - full speed SMASHING INTO THE GLASS SCREEN DOOR!!!! Than just sat in front of the neighbors door a little dazed. Luckily neighbor got a big kick out of it, and was more worried about whether Henry was okay than about anything else. OH and the little dog just sat at the other side of the door looking at Henry like man you're stupid. Neighbor said birds fly into his door all the time.

That is something I can so easily visualize. "Hey little dog! I'm comin man, I'm comin to play..........................uuuumph"

SamsonsMom · 11-24-2009, 12:19 PM

Yeah and note to Mommy (since this has happened 2 days in a row now) - MAKE SURE DOODLES ARE SECURED INSIDE HOUSE BEFORE OPENING DOOR! Lesson learned!

Jac · 11-24-2009, 03:53 PM

Henry! Your social calendar is starting to get in your mama's way! You need to ask permission to run to the neighbors and slam into their door! Silly boy. (So glad he wasn't hurt!)

SamsonsMom · 11-24-2009, 05:45 PM

ME TOO JAC! Now that I know he isn't hurt it was the funniest thing. Dingy Doodle! From now on, Mommy is making sure a certain doodle (not mentioning any names here) is safely AND SECURELY inside!!

And again this time, was in a suit (skirt this time though) and some major heels.

**lindamarie** · 11-24-2009, 09:13 PM

Great VISUAL!!

SamsonsMom · 11-25-2009, 09:08 AM

HEY this morning Henry stayed INSIDE!!! YAY!! But man, everytime I walked past the front door, Henry was there waiting -

Jac · 11-25-2009, 01:09 PM

Good boy, Henry!
