Bella Rules the House, the Yard, and Us

jesse_the_kBecause we have 30 trees in our city lot, we have lots of leaves in our yard. I just admire them, but MyGuy has to rake 'em for the city to compost.
Bella feels a calling to supervise this important work. The pile starts at least 8 ft wide by 20 ft long by 1 ft high. Over the space of an hour, MyGuy packs it into containers. Bella stays put as the pile recedes.
We acknowledge her leadership.

Date: 11/11/2020 05:07 pm (UTC)I don't know how she sheds an entire cat's-worth of hair every week, but she manages.

Date: 11/11/2020 05:09 pm (UTC)...it is a lot. And that's the third -- but not final -- raking.
Is there a word yet for something one dives into to distract oneself from quarantine? Because $ThatWord is MyGuy raking.

Date: 11/11/2020 05:10 pm (UTC)Precisely that. Also why don't humans love the smell when she rolls in earthworms. (Foul with bonus pine tar.)

Date: 11/11/2020 05:11 pm (UTC)Indeed, her work ethic is a shining example: 60 minutes on, 3 days off with copious food and belly rubs.

Date: 11/11/2020 05:13 pm (UTC)She brings the same laser focus to all her activities: eating, watching squirrels, requesting love. The last is easy to fulfill!

Date: 11/11/2020 05:15 pm (UTC)Indeed. Even better, after a day's hard work, she throws herself 100% into love & affection.

Date: 11/11/2020 05:16 pm (UTC)Yeah -- and it's not even the last pile -- it's four of probably six. Frankly, the thirty-foot oaks and 40-foot evergreens is why we bought this house.

Date: 11/11/2020 05:17 pm (UTC)If she hung with JFlan I bet she'd try surfing.

Date: 11/11/2020 05:39 pm (UTC)Yes, I believe J.flan gives all his dogs the opportunity to take up surfing.

Date: 10/11/2020 05:36 pm (UTC)Exactly
Date: 11/11/2020 05:17 pm (UTC)As you know, it's been windy. She lives to serve.

Date: 10/11/2020 08:02 pm (UTC)Yepper!
Date: 11/11/2020 05:19 pm (UTC)Yards, parks, houses, laps -- she's adaptable. She's also remarkably kind with puppies; she'd love to gently cuff the beautiful Sholeh and withstand being nibbled and poked.
