Wild Man Woes

Casing the joint (there has to be a way to get that yummy dog food).

Each and every day Jason decides to pick many battles to fight to the end. He works so hard to push our buttons and has this new trick where he looks out the corner of his eye to see if we notice what he is doing. If it isn't bad, we go about our business, but there are a few things that we don't let slide. One is getting into the garbage with the dogs, another is eating dog food, and the really big one is hitting the dogs. There is one common denominator with all of these.............The Dogs!!!! Since Wild Man spends so much time with them it is as though they have a special bond. They all work together, that is if Moe isn't sleeping which leaves Jason and Mae to work as a team. Needless to say........it is never good.

It all begins with a harmonious effort to complete a task, smile in tact. This morning, durring breakfast, that task was eating the dog food (Who doesn't think that is better than a breakfast burrito?) The dogs weren't doing anything wrong (this was an independent effort), but Jason believes he should be able to do anything the dogs do.

Then Mae got in to trouble for eating more than her fair share of the food. After a shout out to her Moe ran over to eat. Jason saw an opportunity. He quickly made his way over to the food dish and started to dig through it while Moe ate ( trying to sneak a few bites in himself). We yelled at him and pulled him away from the dish. Thinking that there must be a trick to getting us to let him eat the dog food, he decided to try another method, crawling over there on all fours. If he walks on all fours like the dogs we were bound to let him eat with Moe................Colin jumped up and intervened for a second time. As always Jason was angry, not just at us, but at the dogs. If he gets into trouble it has to be their fault as well. So, after having a short cry and glaring at Colin for a moment (he has his glare down to an art....very piercing), he reprimanded Moe. Now that our day has begun Jason is once again in a bad mood and walking around yelling at the dogs. You can clearly make out the phrases "bad dog!" and "get down!" and "no......bad!" This will continue until they decided to conspire against me.

I just though all of you would love to have a little insight into one of our daily adventures with Jason. As I have said many times in the past.........Every Day Is An Adventure.

On another note I would like to introduce all of you to the Kinley blog. Crissy and Travis (friends in Texas) have created a blog. We are looking forward to more pics there and many of Jacks when he makes his appearance in September. I have a link to it on the side of the page.

I will have more pics for all of you later. Enjoy..........................
