chocolate covered strawberries: Let sleeping dogs lie.....

Oh, heavens leave that baby sleeping!!! If you come to my house right now, please do NOT ring the door bell.....she is better off sleeping. In fact, I am thinking about freezing her, or giving her sedatives until she sleeps off about another YEAR of puppiness.......Lucie is at it again. You will likely enjoy the tales of her antics, but living with them---nah...not so much. Remember she is really my son's dog and she is just staying with us until he can move into a house and keep her there. They don't allow dogs in dorm rooms and for GOOD reason. Although, she could really use some education!!!

Yesterday, we found some evidence upstairs that she had been a BAD puppy , so we put her in doggie time out in the backyard. It was a very lovely day anyway; in fact, so much so that I had the kitchen window open.....ok, you know where I am going with this already, don't you....you bloggers are such intelligent folks!

I was sitting in my room with my laptop, enjoying reading my favorite blogs and in runs Lucie. I got up to ask my daughter if she had let Lucie in, and she said no. I then look over at the open window, and CLEARLY Lucie had managed to climb THRU the window. She left muddy paw prints everywhere as evidence!!! I sure wish I had a video of her coming in. Clearly she struggled but was so bound and determined to show me!

So then the other day, I was putting out my fall decor, and I placed on the coffee table a tray of fall treats, like leaves, pumpkins and acorns that a friend had sent me....these acorns look like they came off of a Sequoia tree, (well, if Sequoias had acorns).......they are about four or five inches long--you know lifelike! My husband asked me if those were going to be ok on the coffee table, and I said "should be fine"

......yep, Lucie got one, and come to find out they are really styrfoam acorns, and white inside (and now my collection is four rather than five)....the squirrels around here would be mighty disappointed. Which reminds me that Lucie and Aggie both think they are squirrels as they sure enjoy the pecans off of the pecan trees in the back yard......they must have stomachs of steel.....and good teeth!

To end this saga, just let me tell you one last Lucie antic; hubby goes to mow the grass this morning, and she goes outside and start to wallow in every dirty place she can find, I think

.......so Lucie got a spa treatment......a bath, and such, because she was filthy from head to paw!!!! Lucie, lucie, what will we do with you.

I'll end up this book about Lucie with showing you just a few of the fall things I've put out that she cannot reach!!!

You' can't really see the Harvest sign up in front of the mirror....maybe if you click to enlarge you can.
