I've Been Tagged!!!

Here's Mr. Fox & I having a snuggle.  He likes to lay on the back of the sofa and put his head on my shoulder.  You people or dogs are getting a real treat seeing this ugly, no make-up picture of myself but it's really for Stuart!

Boy am I honored!  I haven't updated this poor blog even though I've had lots to say about my pups.  Most of you know the sad tale of woe but that will be for another post.  Right now I must get to it!  Stuart The Scottie tagged me in his post.  You should go read his blog at scottiechronicles.com.  He's cute and reminds me of Robbie, the Scottie we had when I was a teenager, although Robbie didn't have the white spots.  Ok, Ok... enough with my ADD writing.  I am supposed to answer these questions - Here goes nothin' - I'm going to describe my Foxy boy because he is faaarrr more interesting!

1.  Describe yourself in seven words.

1. nuts
2. chewer
3. napkin eater
4. barker
5. lovable
6. cuddly
7. playful

2.  What keeps you up at night?
Those dang raccoons that come around looking for stray bits of cat food! 

3.  Who would you like to be?
 Mr. Fox is happy being a dog - he told me - he speaks you know.

4.  What are you wearing right now?
Mr. Fox is wearing his collar that has bones on it and a bandana he got from the vet when he had his eye removed (long story).

5.  What scares you?
Nothing scares Foxy!  He runs out to those raccoons and backs them up against the pool.  One time they fell in! 

6.  The best and worst of blogging? 
Oh dear, Mr. Fox says I am very lazy with this blog and spend too much time on Facebook, crocheting, grading papers, and playing with the boy.

7.  What was the last website you visited?
I visited The Scottie Chronicles!! 

8.  What is the one thing you would change about yourself?
Mr. Fox wishes he could have his other eye back :/

9.  Slankets, yes or no?
I don't know what these are so I guess the answer is no.

10.  Tell us something about the person (people) who tagged you.
Stuart is a cool Scottie that was saved by some wonderful people.  He has some white patches which is a big no no for a Scottie so some rotten people were going to send him over the rainbow bridge just for not being perfect.   He is very Scottie and if you've ever had a Scottie you know what I mean.  He has the cute gait and that aloof look in his eye.  Mostly, he's got personality!  I love that he has white patches.  Some people might make an audible gasp over his white spots but I love them because he is perfect just like Mr. Fox and his one lonely eye.  

I am supposed to tag people now but I have few blogger friends so I will just leave it at that.  Now can someone leave a comment so I know people read this thing?  Maybe it will motivate me to write more posts.  Heaven knows, Mr. Fox is providing me with plenty of tales!

The Sweater....

A few years ago when I was visiting my family in NJ/NY for Christmas, I found this great sweater at the Eddie Bauer outlet while shopping with my sister.  It's a light weight, yet warm sweater with wintery designs on it.  I could grab it to go out to the store or wear it to work in the cool mornings or, on a walk with my Foxy boy.

I had always hung this sweater on the wonderful hooks Husband hung in the entryway.  Mr. Fox, in all his nutjobness, has pulled on the jackets, including my sweater, so hard that the hooks were pulled right out of the wall.  Mr. Fox did this THREE times!! Crackpot dog!  Since it's summer, I haven't been wearing jackets and I had stashed them all in one of the closets.  Today, I grabbed my Eddie Bauer sweater and went out the door to my training, where the air conditioning made for a cold room, but I was ready! 

I had noticed a small hole in the hood and thought to myself, 'Oh, how cute, a hole from where Fox pulled it off the hook.'  Imagine my surprise, and everyone else who was with me, when I put my sweater on and saw this:

Boy did we have a good laugh over that!!  Of course someone said they would get rid of that dog, but I just love him to bits!!  He's got personality!  Yep, just enough to help me declutter my house and closets!!

In the Driver's Seat

Mr. Fox loves a car ride.  He willingly jumps in the car to anywhere.  We went to a park in Redondo Beach to play when I took this picture.  You can see Foxy doesn’t like to ride as the passenger.  He wants to be where the action is taking place.  So he made his way onto my lap in the driver’s seat and then sat there with his paws on my legs and the door.  This was fine until his paw pushed the driver’s side window button and the window went down.  Apparently the window lock button doesn’t lock the driver’s window!
